Volcanic Ash From 1989 Mt. Redoubt Eruption, Alaska
The Alaska Volcano Observatory has recently installed a state of the art scanning electronic microscope (SEM) at its facility in Anchorage using ARRA funding. The SEM will be used to analyze volcanic deposits for their composition, texture, and other valuable information that will enable us to...

Ash leachate test on Redoubt ash
Undergraduate student Janelle Dyer (USGS ARRA student appointment) performs an ash leachate test on Redoubt ash in the Alaska Tephra Laboratory and Data Center in Anchorage, Alaska. This test is done to analyze the geochemical reaction between volcanic ash and drinking water sources during eruptions...
Tiny Melt Inclusions from 2009 Redoubt Tephra Samples
Graduate student Allison Payne (USGS ARRA student appointment) uses a binocular microscope to pick out minerals that contain tiny melt inclusions from 2009 Redoubt tephra samples. Melt inclusions are then analyzed with a SHRIMP - Sensitive High Resolution Ion Microprobe - for their volatile (H2O and...
Filtered Ash Leachate Sample
Janelle Dyer dispenses a filtered ash leachate sample into a sample bottle for ion chromatography analysis for anions such as fluoride, chloride, sulfate, and nitrate....
Active Lava Flow near Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park
Areas of flowing lava show up as bright spots in this image of the active lava flow that extends south from the east rift to the ocean, near the eastern boundary of Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park. The image is a composite of a regular photo and a new ARRA-funded thermal infrared camera that will be...
