The Eruption Of Redoubt Volcano Alaska December 14 1989 August 31 1990

Explanation of eruptions, lava flows and glacier melting on Redoubt Volcano on the west shore of Cook Inlet, southern Alaska, near Anchorage in 1989 and 1990.

This conference was prompted by the occurrence of 5 encounters between passenger jetliners with drifting clouds of volcanic ash from the 1989-90 eruptions of Redoubt Volcano in Alaska. Examines 5 principal areas, including: how volcanoes produce ash clouds, the damage and impacts resulting from ash-cloud encounters, communications procedures for mitigating the risks from volcanic ash, the meteorology and modeling of ash-cloud movement, and methods for detection and tracking of ash clouds. 60 technical presentations are included.

A description of rocks and structures in the region of the imbricate front of the Sapphire thrust plate, from a reconnaissance study.

This book is a visual learning experience as recorded on satellite images of volcanic eruptions and a manual describing how it is used for operational satellite monitoring. The atlas shows examples of the largest eruptions worldwide. The book fills a huge gap in the science of volcano remote sensing. A CD-ROM is included containing all the images and an associated website which will be regularly updated, showing results from new and current eruptions.
