Eruptions

Seismicity has increased dramatically at Redoubt in Alaska over the last 24 hours, so AVO has put the volcano back on Orange/ Watch status. They say the tremors being felt now could be signs to an impending eruption (days to weeks), especially after the other events of the past week. Stay tuned! (Pardon the briefness, I’m posting from my iPod.)

    Does the shift in the earth’s crust have anything to do with volcanic eruptions? I just finished reading “RESONANCE,” by A.J. Scudiere. As far as I understand from the book, as well as a few doomsday websites, the shift occurs when the magnetic poles of the earth play switcheroo, and this happens every 65 million years or so. This work of fiction blends scientific fact with a lot of hypothesis in a slightly long, but riveting plot which provides a lot of food for thought. What are your thoughts?

    Does it count as an eruption if magma is making contact with ice, but not yet visible?

    They say there is no signs of tremor, so what most likely is causing these small quakes? Could it be pressure building?

    Doug – I’d say that if magma comes out of the vent, it would count as an eruption, even if it were under ice. Eruptions occurring under ice have been observed in Iceland and tend to produce glacial floods (jokulhlaups).

    Ross – AVO seems to think that the quakes could be a sign of a “pressurization” of the system or magma making its way slowly into the upper parts of the volcano.

    1) If magma makes contact with ice a big explosion would occur (and count as a phreatic eruption), so we can be fairly sure that this hasn’t happened yet

    2) AVO says: “This activity likely represents either the upward movement of magma or pressurization of the system”

    The webicorder looks ominous since about 20:40 UTC. Looks like pretty much constant harmonic tremor.

    As AVO says it is now in eruption! :-)
    “RED/WARNING 2009-03-22 22:56:25 – VAN/VONA
    An eruption of Mt. Redoubt began at approximately 22:38 AKDT, March 22, 2009 (0638 UTC). AVO is raising the aviation color code to Red and the alert level to Warning. Initial height of the eruption cloud is estimated at less than 20,000 ft above sea level at present. Further reports will be issued as more information becomes available”

    As East Coast and transatlantic readers probably already know (since you have been up for a bit), it has been reported that Redoubt has erupted four times overnight:

  51. I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the layout of your website? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two images. Maybe you could space it out better?

    The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.

    The Federal judge ruled correctly; marital laws belong in the realm of States rights and not the Federal government. While many may feel a law protecting the definition of a marriage is necessary, you really need to contact your State legislators. Personally, I believe if one is secure in their beliefs, there is no problem with respect to defining what a marriage truly is. There are more important agendas we need to be concerned about at this moment; we can tackle this marriage law hoopla later.

    If we have reached the point where Democrat election fraud is considered normal and not to be seriously fought against; what rational belief is there to believe that the results of any election where the Democrats win are valid?
