Volcano –related Deformation in the Cascades,
Aleutians, and Yellowstone
The G-III flew 51.4 hrs in support of
Principal Investigator Paul Lundgren’s
study of deformation related to magma
movement in the Cascades, the Alaskan
Aleutian Islands, and Yellowstone. The
cascades were flown en route to and from
two deployments to Anchorage, Alaska
(June 21-23 and September 28- October
2, 2009). The Aleutians were flown on
June 22 and September 29 using two
sorties for each collection. (A refueling
stop at Adak Is was necessary to complete
each collection.) Baseline Imagery for
Yellowstone was collected en route to New
England on June 31, 2009.
