Welcome to the Michigan Technological University Volcanoes Page

Sponsored by the Keweenaw Volcano Observatory. Michigan Tech Houghton, MI USA Random Cool Volcano Pic Here Our Purpose: A primary focus of volcanology is to provide scientific and educational information that can lead to hazard mitigation. Michigan Tech's Volcanoes Page aims to provide information about volcanoes to the public and to complement other informational sites on the web. We started this site when there were almost no other volcano sites--now there are lots, and many of them have far more resources. So we now aim to fill in spots that aren't covered elsewhere. Send your suggestions!

What is a volcano?

We could say a volcano is a liquid rock plumbing system which extends from several 10's of kilometers depth to the earth's surface, and includes the near vent deposits of eruptions. Is this a good definition? Is this a volcano? How about this? Or this? Earth's Volcanoes What's happening now? --Smithsonian Institution/ USGS Which are earth's active volcanoes?--Smithsonian Institution Global Volcanism Network Details of recent activity--GVN Monthly Bulletin How Volcanoes Work --NASA SDSU Useful links by volcano---USGS-CVO Volcanoes of Canada--Geological Survey of Canada Cascade Volcano Web Cams Webcams of Italian Volcanoes--INGV The Nature of Volcanoes Volcano World individual volcano links--VW-NoDakota Volcanic Hazards Mitigation Volcanic Ash & Aviation Links USGS Volcanic Cloud Hazards to Aviation - This page aims to provide information about how volcanic ash clouds affect aircraft, and how to avoid this hazard. Volcanoes and People Scientists are not communication experts. This page is a first step at building communcation between scientists and teachers, with a goal of mitigating natural hazards. Basic Guide to Volcanic Hazards prepared by Colleen M. Riley, MTU Volcanoes are beneficial to humans living on or near them. They produce fertile soil, and provide valuable minerals, water reservoirs, geothermal resources, and scenic beauty. But volcanoes can be very dangerous. Where can a person go to be safe from an erupting volcano? What types of volcanic hazards might they face? These questions are difficult to answer because there are many types of volcanic eruptions which produce different types of volcanic hazards. IAVCEI web site Safety at volcanoes is a major concern--before you go to a volcano, read the safety recommendations from IAVCEI! Granular Volcano Group Sebastien Dartevelle's work.

It is a region of high population density and with many active volcanoes. Here we have tried to provide some data of hazard mitigation value about this region.

Remote Sensing of Volcanoes

USGS Volcanic Hazards--Satellite methods What satellite data is used, and how it is used to tell us about activity. Satellite Detection of eruptions Satellite sensors around the world are used to keep track of volcanic activity--you can consult the near realtime and not so near realtime sources. Volcanic Clouds Page--The Volcanic Clouds Web Site describes the formation and composition of volcanic ash, gas and aerosol clouds, the remote sensing methods we use to study them, and ways that this information can be used for science and hazard mitigation. Natural Hazards from Space--NASA Earth Observatory site Earth's Volcanoes--JPL Site Remote Sensing Tutorial--NASA Goddard Astronaut Photos of Earth--NASA JSC Remote Sensing in Natural Hazards--Univ of Washington Remote Sensing and Hazard Mitigation in Pacific Latin America—Michigan Tech University and NSF PIRE Online Journals Related to Volcanology Where volcanologic research is published--updated 2004
