Abstract
Video monitoring using slow-scan television has proved to be a valuable
monitoring tool at Mount St. Helens. The system provides a permanent video
record of events at the volcano and is also an important aid in planning field
logistics and operations. Such a system is particularly valuable at remote
volcanoes, where continuous observations are otherwise no feasible.
