Eruptions and other geologic events at Mount Baker during the
last 10,000 years have repeatedly affected adjacent areas, especially
the valleys that head on the south and east sides of the volcano.
...
The purpose of this report is to describe the
postglacial eruptive history of the volcano as it is
recorded by deposits of volcanic origin and to appraise
and forecast the hazards that could result if similar
eruptions were to occur in the future. The report is
based on about 2 months fieldwork in 1973 and 1974 by
Hyde, who is chiefly responsible for the interpretation
of the origin, stratigraphy, and distribution of the
postglacial volcanic deposits at Mount Baker. Crandell
briefly examined the distribution and thickness of
tephra deposits near the volcano in 1975, aided in the
assessment of potential volcanic hazards presented in
an earlier report (Hyde and Crandell, 1975), and prepared this revision of that report.
-- Hyde and Crandell, 1978
