Will there be a report that Mt. St. Helen has resumed lave dome building in 2009?
Background: The nearly three and a half years of eruption at Mount St. Helens is over for now and on July 10, 2008, scientists lowered the volcano alert level from Advisory to Normal and the aviation color code from Yellow to Green.
Mount St. Helens reawakened in October 2004 when four explosions blasted steam and ash up to 10,000 feet above the crater. Scientists watched a spine of fresh hot lava pierce the bulging crater floor. Growth of this lava dome continued until late January 2008.
Five months have passed with no signs of renewed eruptive activity. Earthquakes, volcanic gas emissions, and ground deformation are all at levels seen before the eruption began.
Mount St. Helens will erupt again in the future in some mix of renewed dome building and more explosive behavior. However, at this point, scientists can’t forecast when the next eruption will begin.
