VITA
Michael P. Doukas graduated from the University of California, Santa Cruz in
1974 with a degree in Earth Science and earned a M.S. in Geology at
California State University, San Jose in 1983 with an emphasis on field
mapping. He joined the USGS in 1974 as a Geological Field Assistant,
participating in field mapping projects in California. In 1980 he joined
the staff at Cascades Volcano Observatory assisting in field studies,
volcanic observation and SO2 gas studies. In 1986 he joined the VCAT
(Volcano Crisis Assistance Team) with emphasis on training and field
geochemical sampling. This led to trips to Latin America in support of the
VCAT activities. In 1990 Mike journeyed to Alaska to join the staff of the
Alaska Volcano Observatory where he was in charge of the airborne gas
monitoring program. In 1995 he returned to Vancouver, WA to join the Global
Change Climate History program project on volcanic emissions. His current
work involves research into the relationships between gas emissions from
volcanoes and the processes operating in volcanic terrain using data from
monitoring and airborne plume measurements.
