Universal Coordinated Time UTC – ZULU is a 24 hour clock. During an eruption, if the wind is from the east at 10,000 feet (outflow), the tephra will fall on Vancouver, Canada in about an hour. If the Kulshan Wind is from the west (inflow) the tephra will fall on Merritt, BC in about 40 minutes. There are extremes in preparedness, of course. As a basis of my work I use the 2015 Profile of Earthquake Risk in the District of North Vancouver by Earthquake Canada, wherein they state that there is 30% chance of a M7.3 in the middle of the Salish Sea, say between North Vancouver, Nanaimo and Victoria, in the next 50 years, that will bring down 839 buildings, just among the 80,000 residents in the District of North Vancouver.

Attached is a recording made in Sherman Crater, the active crater at Mount Baker. The audio was made by Michael Dyrland during a gas sampling trip by volunteers with Mount Baker Volcano Research Center [MBVRC]. You can hear the roar of the gas as it escapes from a few of the hundreds if not thousands of fumaroles [gas vents], and bubbling, boiling water from tiny hotsprings. After St. Helens, Sherman crater is the hottest place in the Cascade volcanoes; even in winter there is bare ground at 9500' due to the hot ground, Sulphur gases and water vapor. MBVRC is an all-volunteer nonprofit organization that raises funds in support of volcano research at Mount Baker and informs the public via presentations about Mount Baker eruption history and hazards. Links to video taken in the crater are posted on the MBVRC website: http://mbvrc.wordpress.com/baker-facts/

Every year MBVRC volunteers climb the glacier and enter the crater to collect gas samples on behalf of US Geological Survey's volcano monitoring efforts. - Dave Tucker Research Associate, Geology Department Filmed By: Michael Dyrland 2nd Camera: Charlie Martin
