Analysis of composition and chronology of dome emplacement at Black Peak volcano, Alaska utilizing ASTER remote sensing data and field-based studies 4005

"Black Peak volcano is a ~3.5km-diameter caldera located on the Alaska Peninsula that formed ~4,600 years ago in an eruption that excavated >10km3 of material. The caldera floor is occupied by at least a dozen overlapping dacitic to andesitic lava domes and flows. Examination of XRF results and observations of the domes in and around the caldera reveals a range of 57-65wt% SiO2 and variations in amphibole content. Evidence for magma mixing includes vesicular enclaves and geochemical trends that indicate involvement of a more mafic magma into a dacitic reservoir. The purpose of this study is to investigate if, and how, these differences in composition and mineralogy are detectable in satellite emissivity and TIR data (ASTER) and compare the results to ground-based field observations to discern changes in the mineralogical and chemical properties of the domes. This study incorporates the use of decorrelation-stretch image processing techniques and the deconvolution of laboratory emissivity spectra to assess the viability of discriminating variations in the lithologies observed at Black Peak volcano."

Analysis of composition and chronology of dome emplacement at Black Peak, Alaska utilizing ASTER remote sensing data and field-based studies 4060

"The purpose of this study is to investigate differences in dome mineralogy and alteration using Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflectance Radiometer (ASTER) satellite imagery, field observations, and laboratory petrologic and spectrographic analyses of the Black Peak volcano complex, Alaska. Black Peak is a 3.5km-wide-caldera on the Alaska Peninsula. The caldera formed ~4,600 years ago by an eruption that deposited <20km3 of ash-flow tuffs which filled the valleys to the west and north. The floor of the ice-free caldera consists of approximately a dozen overlapping, mainly andesitic lava domes and coulees."

Lava flow discrimination at Okmok Caldera, AK using Landsat Enhanced Thematic Mapper + 4065

"Okmok, located on Unmak Island in the eastern Aleutians, is a large shield volcano with a ~9.5 km diameter centered caldera. Several vents on the caldera floor have been involved in eruptions over the last 200 years. Although this area is remote, copious amounts of digital remote sensing data exists for this volcano. Based on Landsat Enhanced Thematic Mapper + (ETM+) data, four historic lava flows can be distinguished on the caldera floor. The spectral signature for each of these flows is unique and controlled mainly by surface features, and minimally by mineral composition, water content and temperature."

The great eruption of 1912 3475

"On the afternoon of June 6, 1912, a volcanic eruption cloud rose 100,000 ft (32 km) into the sky above the Katmai region, 280 miles (450 km) southwest of Anchorage on the Alaska Peninsula (Fig. 1). Explosions were even heard in Cordova, over 370 miles (600 km) away from the Alaska Peninsula. Winds pushed the ash cloud east and within a few hours, ash from a huge volcanic eruption began to fall on Kodiak Island, approximately 100 miles (170 km) southeast of the volcano."
