Other affiliated faculty

Here are listed other experts that are affiliated or associated with the UAF volcanology group. Some work directly on UAF volcanology projects, some are on graduate student committees, while yet others remain available as resources. They represent a variety of agencies, colleges, universities, and disciplines


 

Students

Volcanology graduate students  are actively engaged in volcanic research. From geophysical instrument installation and repair to mapping, sampling and analysis, our  students are in the thick of things.

Current students:

Staff

From station installation (repair) to earthquake location to network IT, the volcanology staff keep things running smoothly.

Alaska Volcano Observatory

The Alaska Volcano Observatory (AVO) is a joint program of the United States Geological Survey (USGS), the Geophysical Institute of the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAFGI), and the State of Alaska Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys (ADGGS). AVO was formed in 1988, and uses federal, state, and university resources to monitor and study Alaska's hazardous volcanoes, to predict and record eruptive activity, and to mitigate volcanic hazards to life and property.

Geodesy

Ash from Okmok covers GPS

"Our group uses geodetic and other techniques to study the motions and deformation of the solid earth: plate motions, deformation due to active tectronics, earthquakes, aseismic fault slip events, and the deformation associated with active volcanoes."
