AVO is a very extended family. Some people work full time for the observatory, others well under half time.
Others perform essential work, but only draw operating expenses. Several agencies contribute personnel at several
locations. A wide variety of disciplines are represented, including geophysics, geology, glaciology, hydrology,
geochemistry, remote sensing, computing, electronics, and administration. The following people are the paid staff,
and share among themselves about 22 Full Time Equivalent positions.

"The Alaska Volcano Observatory (AVO), a cooperative program of the U.S. Geological Survey, the Geophysical Institute of the University of Alaska Fairbanks, and the Alaska Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys, has maintained seismic monitoring networks at historically active volcanoes in Alaska since 1988 (Power and others, 1993; Jolly and others, 1996; Jolly and others, 2001; Dixon and others, 2002; Dixon and others, 2003). The primary objectives of this program are the near real time seismic monitoring of active, potentially hazardous, Alaskan volcanoes and the investigation of seismic processes associated with active volcanism.
