U.S. Geodynamics Committee, Environment and Resources Commission on Geosciences, Division on Earth and Life Studies, National Research Council
This volume develops a research plan to study and monitor Mount Rainier, an active Cascade volcano located about 35 km southeast of the Seattle-Tacoma metropolitan area. The book also addresses issues of communication and coordination among geoscientists, social scientists, planners, and responsible authorities, so that research results can be used to support hazard reduction efforts.
