REPORT:
Seismic Monitoring at Cascade Volcanic Centers, 2004 -- Status and Recommendations

Table of Contents

• Introduction

• Seismic monitoring at Cascade volcanic centers - the big picture

• Seismic networks by volcano

• Assessment of the ability of networks to detect anomalous seismicty
  • Earthquake Catalogs - what has been detected?
    • Detection threshold
    • Magnitude of completeness
    • Theoretical detection threshold
    • Theoretical "good" location threshold
  • Important seismic-monitoring criteria other than earthquake detection and locations

• Recommendations
  • Seismic networks should be upgraded before any unrest occurs
  • Priority A volcano networks
    • Mount Baker
    • Newberry Volcano
    • Medicine Lake
    • Crater Lake
    • Three Sisters
  • Priority B volcano networks
    • Glacier Peak
    • Mount Adams
    • Mount Jefferson
  • Priority C volcano networks
    • Mount Rainier
    • Mount Hood
    • Mount Shasta
    • Lassen Peak
