Although Mount Edgecumbe hasn’t erupted in 4,000 years, in 2018 its ground surface began inflating and increased seismicity was detected in the area. What’s happening with this long-dormant Alaskan volcano? UAF PhD student Claire Puleio describes her research on the volcano and her attempts to uncover the mystery of Mount Edgecumbe’s current activity.
Claire Puleio presented the talk “Mount Edgecumbe: Exploring a Reawakened Volcano" on Feb. 6, 2024, in Fairbanks, Alaska, and virtually as part of the 32nd annual Science For Alaska talk series.
