The California Volcano Observatory—Monitoring the State’s Restless Volcanoes
Stovall WK, Marcaida M, Mangan MT. 2014. The California Volcano Observatory—Monitoring the State’s Restless Volcanoes. 2014-3120. US Geologic Survey
Volcanic eruptions happen in the State of California about as frequently as the largest earthquakes on the San Andreas Fault Zone. At least 10 eruptions have taken place in California in the past 1,000 years—most recently at Lassen Peak in Lassen Volcanic National Park (1914 to 1917) in the northern part of the State—and future volcanic eruptions are inevitable. The U.S. Geological Survey California Volcano Observatory monitors the State’s potentially hazardous volcanoes.
