Upcoming Colloquium
Date: 20 November 2024
Speaker: Annika Dechert, Ph.D. Candidate University of Oregon
Title: Interdisciplinary Studies of Active Magma Systems: Past Projects and Future Goals
Abstract: The Three Sisters volcanic complex (South, Middle, and North Sister) in the central Oregon Cascades is considered a “very high threat” by the U.S. Geological Survey, with eruptions of South Sister only 2,000 years ago and inflation just west of South Sister since the mid-1990s. I utilize interdisciplinary methods of volcanology to probe the Three Sisters’ magmatic history and consider the current magmatic system. My work connects the past and present, supporting preparation for future eruptions.
