Viewing Hawai'i's Lava Safely-Common Sense is Not Enough
"The Hawaiian Islands have four historically active volcanoes, but Kïlauea Volcano on the Island of Hawai'i is the only one currently erupting. Eruptions of these volcanoes are noted for their approachable flows of molten lava, but they also undergo many changes that can be rapid, unpredictable, and life threatening. Without knowledge of Hawai'i's volcanic landscapes and the processes that form them, visitors can easily find themselves in danger. Understanding volcano hazards and taking the right equipment are keys to safely exploring volcanic landscapes."

Technical-Information Products for a National Volcano Early Warning System
"Technical outreach -- distinct from general-interest and K-12 educational outreach -- for volcanic hazards is aimed at providing usable scientific information about potential or ongoing volcanic activity to public officials, businesses, and individuals in support of their response, preparedness, and mitigation efforts. Within the context of a National Volcano Early Warning System (NVEWS) (Ewert et al., 2005), technical outreach is a critical process, transferring the benefits of enhanced monitoring and hazards research to key constituents who have to initiate actions or make policy decisions to lessen the hazardous impact of volcanic activity. This report discusses recommendations of the Technical-Information Products Working Group convened in 2006 as part of the NVEWS planning process. The basic charge to the Working Group was to identify a web-based, volcanological 'product line' for NVEWS to meet the specific hazard-information needs of technical users."

Eruption of Redoubt Volcano, Alaska, December 14, 1989-August 31, 1990
"The 1989-90 eruption of Redoubt Volcano, 177 km southwest of Anchorage, Alaska, began on December 14, 1989, less than 24 hours after a swarm of earthquakes struck beneath the volcano. A huge cloud of ash heralded the volcano's fourth and most damaging eruption of this century. Volcanic ash generated by numerous explosive episodes from December 1989 through April 1990 caused significant damage to aircraft, severely disrupted air traffic above southern Alaska, and resulted in local power outages and school closures. The explosions produced hot, fast-moving clouds of ash, rock debris, and gas (pyroclastic flows) that swept across Redoubt's heavily glaciated north flank. These events triggered massive debris flows in Drift River valley that threatened an oil tanker terminal near the river's mouth. Partial flooding of the terminal compound on two occasions forced authorities to modify its operating procedures, which temporarily curtailed oil production from 10 platforms in Cook Inlet. The damage and loss of revenue from ash and debris flows are estimated to total more than $100 million, which makes this the second most costly volcanic eruption in the history of the United States, exceeded only by the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens in Washington."
