Kulshan (Mount Baker) Stratovolcano© ™ ®, part of the Cascadia Volcanic Arc © ™ ®

>> slide image left >> 18 kilometres south of the Canadian border, 108 kilometres east of Vancouver, Canada, 3,286~3,288 m (10,786 ft) Mount Baker (Kulshan) Stratovolcano is where the westward moving North America Tectonic Plate, collides with the Juan de Fuca Tectonic Plate. It is active. The United States Geologic Survey rates it a VERY HIGH RISK. If the wind is from the east, the tephra will fall on Vancouver, Canada in about an hour. Hyperlinks your own social media.

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.

Flight Around Mount Baker with a glimpse of volcanic smoke

In the late 1990s I flew my son around the top of Kulshan / Mount Baker. He and I smelled the Sulphur coming up from the Sherman Crater, on the south-east flank. He smelled it, but seems to have forgotten all about it; or just doesn't make the connections between seismic activity a volcanism. Kulshan / Mount Baker is part of the Cascadia Volcanic Arc. Denial is such an amazing human trait.

It's about 250-300kms from downtown Vancouver in Washington state, based on google maps.

Dorr fumaroles 2375 m (7800 ft) elevation at the base of the Cockscomb, the rocky, rugged northeast ridge of Mount Baker dividing the Park and Rainbow Glaciers

On May 18, 1980, the Mount St. Helens became the largest and most destructive volcanic eruption in U.S. history. By the end of its cycle of fire and fury, 57 people had died.

If sulphuric acid-rich water accumulates as a pool below the sulphur rich Door Funmole Field (Image above) and it persist as a layer long enough to reach Whalelech Dam, it will attack the concrete. However, even if the acid load from the water basin feeding into Whalelech does not greatly increase, occasional light fish mortalities may result near the mouth of the creeks. Greater acid and mineral loads, resulting from further increases in volcanic activity or other possible causes, could be more harmful, especially to the fish. Continued monitoring of Whalelech watershed and collection of low and water quality is needed to detect rapidly any changes in conditions at Dorr Crater and to provide warning of possible greater impacts on Whalelech Lake from any future increases in Mount Baker activity. Of course, if there is a lahar that hits the Whalelech system, it will cause a tsunami that will overtop the dams and spillways, smash everything apart all the way down in about two minutes. The same as the tsunami on Spirit Lake at Mount St. Helen's.

Is Mount Baker a hazard for Canada? - Perspective From Natural Resources Canada

How might ash from a Mount Baker eruption affect Canada? ... Explosive eruptions of Mount Baker that generate volcanic ash have been less frequent than at other Cascade volcanoes, but they still pose a potential hazard. A large explosive eruption is unlikely.

BAKER LAKE AT UPPER BAKER DAM NEAR CONCRETE, WA WaterAlert service

The U.S. Geological Survey WaterAlert service sends e-mail or text (SMS) messages when certain parameters, as measured by a USGS real-time data-collection station, exceed user-definable thresholds. The development and maintenance of the WaterAlert system is supported by the USGS and its partners, including numerous federal, state, and local agencies.
Real-time data from USGS gages are transmitted via satellite or other telemetry to USGS offices at various intervals; in most cases, 1 to 4 times per hour. Emergency transmissions, such as during floods, may be more frequent. Notifications will be based on the data received at these site-dependent intervals.

For my dad, My first hero - Kulshan Stratovolcano© / Mount Baker Stratovolcano©

Dad forgot to teach me that there was anything that I could not do; I was capable, strong and raised to lead. In other words I could do anything. I was raised without fear; and that is very different from being brave.
