REPORT:
Single-Setup Leveling Used to Monitor Vertical Displacement (Tilt) on Cascades Volcanoes

-- Kenneth M. Yamashita, Single-Setup Leveling Used to Monitor Vertical Displacement (Tilt) on Cascades Volcanoes IN: Ewert and Swanson, (eds.), 1992, Monitoring Volcanoes: Techniques and Strategies Used by the Staff of the Cascades Volcano Observatory, 1980-1990: USGS Bulletin 1966, p.143-149.

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.
