      "name": "Bibliography of literature from 1990-1997 pertaining to Holocene and fumarolic Pleistocene volcanoes of Alaska, Canada, and the conterminous United States",

      "abstract": "The 1980's and 1990's were marked by frequent worldwide destructive volcanic\neruptions. Significant loss of life and property during eruptions, and extensive media coverage of\nvolcanic events around the globe have brought volcanic processes and hazards increasingly to the\nforefront of scientific, governmental, and public attention (e.g., Casadevall, 1994; Pringle, 1994).\n\nA result of these circumstances has been an increasing number of scientific and popular\npublications dealing with active volcanism. The purpose of this bibliography is to provide a\ncomprehensive source of literature published between 1990 and 1997 relevant to all of the\nHolocene and fumarolic Pleistocene volcanoes in Alaska, the conterminous United States, and\nCanada. The period between 1990 and 1997 was chosen for two reasons. First, it was necessary\nto define a precise period of time to keep the work tractable. Second, research for this project\nbegan during the summer of 1996 and lasted through 1998, with minor additions into 1999. \nThus, 1997 was chosen as the younger cut-off and 1990 for the older cut-off. Literature\npertaining to Hawaiian volcanoes has been assembled into a database maintained by the\nHawaiian Volcano Observatory (Wright and Takahashi, 1984; Wright and Takahashi, 1998) and\nhas been excluded from this work.\n\nWe hope that this work will be useful in three ways. First, researchers interested in a\nspecific volcano can use the search capability of the electronic version to readily find literature\nrelevant to their work or determine what aspects of the volcano are in need of study. Second,\nreferences cited within the included references are guides to older literature. Third, during times\nof volcanic crisis this reference list can save time for responding scientists.",
