Today the incentive to monitor volcanoes in the Aleutian Islands is very high because of the risk that they present to air traffic. Ash clouds can damage aircraft and cause jet engine failure. The Alaska Volcano Observatory is operated as a joint program of the United States Geological Survey,...

This is called “extraneous argon” in literature. Experimental studies done on numerous modern volcanoes with historically known eruption times have been evaluated. And, about a third of the igneous rocks from these volcanoes show a bit of extra 40Ar – usually enough extra 40Ar to make the ...
Pavlof Volcano, near the end of the Alaska Peninsula, is one of the most active volcanoes in North America. It sometimes erupts with little warning and can produce ash clouds that are a danger to air traffic.
