Cameron, C.E.Bull, K.F.Macpherson, A.E.2023Recently active volcanoes of AlaskacsvMiscellaneous PublicationMP 133 v. 6Fairbanks, Alaska, United StatesAlaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys2 sheetshttps://doi.org/10.14509/31086Recently active volcanoes of Alaska, Miscellaneous Publication 133 v. 6, lists the historically active volcanoes of Alaska and the year of the last major eruptive event. The volcanoes listed meet at least one of the following criteria since 1700 CE: 1) Documented, unquestioned eruption OR 2) A strongly suspected eruption, often an eruption documented in a historical account with very little information. Current geologic knowledge must not contradict the eruption account, OR 3) Persistent (usually on the order of decades, but certainly longer than several months) fumaroles, with temperatures (where measured) within approximately 10 degrees C of the boiling point, OR 4) Significant, measured, volcanic-related, non-eruptive deformation, OR 5) Documented earthquake swarm with strongly suspected volcanic cause. This data is released as a Miscellaneous Publication with an open end-user license. The data are available from the DGGS website: http://doi.org/10.14509/31086.The purpose of this dataset is to document the location and most recent eruptive events of the historically active volcanoes throughout Alaska.>volcano-locations: Spreadsheet with volcano locations, information about the year (when known) of last major eruptive event, and links to relevent citations2023ground conditionCompleteNone planned-178.793680179.59770062.00572051.788870ISO 19115 Topic CategorygeoscientificInformationAlaska Division of Geological & Geophysical SurveysActive VolcanoesAlaska Statewide MapsAleutian ArcCoastal and RiverDGGSGeologic HazardsGeologyHazardsHistoric EruptionVolcanicVolcanic EruptionVolcanoesVolcanologyAlaska Division of Geological & Geophysical SurveysAlaskaAlaska, State ofAleutian IslandsAleutian PeninsulaAleutian RangeSouthcentral AlaskaSoutheast AlaskaSouthwest AlaskaWalker, J.D., Geissman, J.W., Bowring, S.A, and Babcock, L.E., comp., 2012, Geologic Time Scale v. 4.0: Geological Society of AmericaHoloceneThis report, map, and/or dataset is available directly from the State of Alaska, Department of Natural Resources, Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys (see contact information below).Any hard copies or published datasets utilizing these datasets shall clearly indicate their source.

The volcano information on the AVO website is contained within a database and was compiled almost exclusively by Cheryl Cameron, and reviewed by staff of the Alaska Volcano Observatory. This database contains information on all published reports about Quaternary and younger Alaskan volcanism. The volcano names, locations, and eruptive history information found in the database is compiled by studying all locatable published documents. All of the locations were entered into the database, plotted in a GIS, and visually checked for accuracy. Where all published locations were inaccurate, new locations were generated by plotting a point within the GIS using a USGS digital topographic map.Not applicableThis data releaase is complete. The volcanoes listed meet at least one of the following criteria since 1700 CE: 1) Documented, unquestioned eruption OR 2) A strongly suspected eruption, often an eruption documented in a historical account with very little information. Current geologic knowledge must not contradict the eruption account, OR 3) Persistent (usually on the order of decades, but certainly longer than several months) fumaroles, with temperatures (where measured) within approximately 10 degrees C of the boiling point, OR 4) Significant, measured, volcanic-related, non-eruptive deformation, OR 5) Documented earthquake swarm with strongly suspected volcanic cause.Location values were compiled from existing published resources and plotted using a GIS to visually verify accuracy. Where published locations of volcanic features appeared inaccurate, new locations were generated by creating a point on USGS digital topographic maps (using the largest scale available, 1:63,000 or 1:250,000) within the GIS.Data compilation - The volcano names, date of last eruptive event, and location information in this dataset comes from the AVO website, www.avo.alaska.edu, accessed in January 2020.

AVO website and database is extensively reviewed by Alaska Volcano Observatory staff and work to implement updates and corrections is ongoing. Although the database contains information on all volcanic features in Alaska with activity within the last two million years, the list given in this publication is for "historically active" volcanoes. To be considered "historically active" the volcanoes listed meet at least one of the following criteria since 1700 CE: The volcanoes listed meet at least one of the following criteria since 1700 CE: 1) Documented, unquestioned eruption OR 2) A strongly suspected eruption, often an eruption documented in a historical account with very little information.
