Creator:: Davis, Loren G. (Loren Gerald), 1969-
Abstract:: The cultural influence of volcanic eruptions has been emphasized in the archaeological literature. However, the larger effects that Mount St. Helens volcanic eruptions had upon prehistoric populations in the Pacific Northwest is not understood. This thesis asks questions of the archaeological and paleoenvironmental record of the Pacific Northwest to assess...

Abstract:: Information concerning the factors controlling seedling establishment on tephra deposits (airfall volcanic ejecta) is limited. The establishment and growth of six coniferous species, Abies amabills (Dougl.) Forbes (Pacific silver fir), A. procera Rehd. (noble fir), Pinus monticola Dougl. (western white pine), P. Contorta Dougl. (lodgepole pine), Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco...

Abstract:: The 1980 eruptions of Mount St. Helens damaged or destroyed vegetation on more than 66,100 hectares (270,000 acres) within the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. The effects of the eruption on planting sites and seedling performance were unknown. Regeneration of "cut over" lands near Mount St. Helens has historically been limited...

Creator:: Lieuallen, Athena Erin
Abstract:: Comprehension of eruptive histories is critical in understanding the evolution of magmatic systems at arc volcanoes and may supply evidence to the petrogenesis of intermediate and evolved magmas. Within the 300 ka eruptive history of Mount St. Helens, Washington, the Kalama Eruptive Period, 1479- ~1750 CE was bracketed by interludes...

Creator:: Smith, Richard D. (Richard Dean), 1950-
Abstract:: A descriptive model of the routing of sediment that was delivered to the study area by the 1980 eruptions of Mount St. Helens has been developed. On hillslopes this sediment was distributed among three major storage compartments: 1) the tephra profile, 2) primary storage, and 3) secondary storage. The most...

Creator:: Gallant, Alisa L.
Abstract:: The Mount St. Helens eruption of May 18, 1980, offered an excellent setting for evaluating early response of ecosystems to disturbance. Prior to the eruption, the area was densely forested with fir, hemlock, and Douglas-fir, and various understory species. During the course of the eruption, hillslopes within a 180 degree...

Abstract:: The morphology, genesis, and classification of soils forming in multiple tephra deposits of recent age from Mt. St. Helens volcano in southwestern Washington Cascade Mountains was studied. Soils which occupied well drained and poorly drained positions on the landscape were characterized according to their morphology and the results of analyses...
