Abstract
Many different methods have been employed to detect tilt or other manifestations
of ground deformation at Kilauea and other volcanoes throughout the world. This
report (1) gives a generalized overview of the evolution of tilt monitoring, (2)
outlines different approaches to single-setup tilt leveling, and (3) gives the
pros and cons for the different methods used at the Cascades Volcano Observatory
to monitor volcanoes of the Cascades Range for vertical displacement.
