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. Hyperlinked where I can. Good morning, everyone.

Sherman Crater - Mt. Baker | Sound of the Day
https://youtu.be/gEZ1h1LrDfw [1:11 minutes]
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

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.

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
Published on Sep 29, 2017
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.

| 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 (also see the map on the ‘About MBVRC’ page). Mount Baker's summit North East 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. |
