TITLE: “Predicting Oregon’s next volcanic eruption“

ABSTRACT: Studies of the eruption history of volcanoes is essential for understanding how volcanic and magmatic systems behave, and also provides valuable insights for predicting when future eruptions might occur, and what their consequences will be. The most recent eruption in Oregon occurred in the 1780s, but there is no doubt that future eruptions will occur in the state. Imagining the future volcanic history of Oregon’s volcanoes has important scientific and hazards implications, but has also proven a powerful tool for capturing the public’s attention, and educating about volcanoes and volcanic hazards.

This talk combines results from recent studies of Oregon volcanoes with historical observations and insights from active analog volcanoes around the world, and then adds a dash good old-fashioned speculation to consider what Oregon’s next volcanic eruption might be.
