Happy #FieldworkFriday! Last week, we highlighted the installation of our newest volcano broadband monitoring station LAVA near the beautiful Mount Hood. Here is some more footage of the work done by our awesome field staff to bring this site to life!

Cascade Range volcanoes at normal background levels of activity this week: ow.ly/evNx50WhJJt. This week, CVO geologists conducted reconnaissance field work at West Crater, just south of Mount St. Helens, to better understand eruption ages and recurrence rates.

Last week our team at WA Emergency Management held a webinar helping businesses understand how to use the Great #ShakeOut Drill to better understand: -How to keep employees safe -Whether their emergency plans work -Where they can find more resources Check it out here! youtube.com/watch?v=BrrE9a…

Today is the anniversary of the Magnitude 5.8 Satsop Earthquake in 1999. This quake provides an excellent example of why we want to identify and retrofit buildings before more earthquakes in Washington! Do you remember the quake? Learn more from our team at WA Emergency Management 👇

Official Information Statement on Mt. Rainier: A lot of earthquakes, but currently no indication that there is any danger of an eruption. See below for more details from the USGS Volcanoes🌋, and we recommend subscribing to volcanoes.usgs.gov/vns2/ for updates!

Follow USGS Volcanoes🌋 for continued updates. Again, a lot of earthquakes, but currently no indication of an imminent eruption. Subscribe to Volcano Notification Service for additional information as it comes out for free, here: volcanoes.usgs.gov/vns2/

A swarm of very small earthquakes is occurring at #MountRainier. What does this mean for our communities? Currently, there is no indication that the level of earthquake activity is cause for concern. See thread from USGS Volcanoes🌋: 🔶Current Swarm 🔵located earthquakes since 2020

Director Harold Tobin with @SeattleTimes about the ongoing EQ swarm at Mt Rainier:  seattletimes.com/seattle-news/e… It’s the biggest swarm since 2009, we’re closely monitoring the EQ activity, but we don’t see anything to elevate the level of concern about volcanic activity at this time.

One quick point, because I'm seeing this wrong elsewhere: NO ONE has been feeling these earthquake. No one. These earthquakes are only detected from sensors. So, if you think you felt an earthquake, look out the window because it was probably a truck driving by.

Another Information Statement and update from USGS CVO: This earthquake swarm is still within background, activity for Mt. Rainier and indicates movement of water within the #volcano, but not magma. See below and follow USGS Volcanoes🌋 and PNSN for more details

July 10 Rainier update. Quakes continues at low rates; cause consistent with hydrothermal fluids. Status update: ow.ly/Ja8650WnRwR Present swarm now surpasses 2009 swarm in terms of number of events, rate, and energy release (attached plot compares 2009 to present swarm).

Happy #FieldWorkFriday! Two new seismic stations are now online: CRESC and CHUTE. UO College of Arts and Sciences students Karlee and Charlie installed the seismometers! The PNSN fosters undergrads' professional development by hiring summer field technicians at both our University of Oregon and @uofwa offices.

July 11 update on Mt. Rainier seismic swarm. Earthquake rates continue to decline; cause remains consistent with hydrothermal fluids. Status update at ow.ly/ZcUs50Wor6A This plot shows the magnitudes (top) and numbers (bottom) of earthquakes over the course of the swarm.

While the current earthquake swarm at Mt. Rainier is not causing concern about an eruption, it's a great reminder that we have 5 active volcanoes in Washington state, and being prepared for them is always a good idea. Learn more: youtube.com/watch?v=PETpwF…
