It requires ongoing and long-term conversations with communities at risk. Much of my job has involved the development and maintenance of inter-agency partnerships that are comprised of scientists, emergency officials, news media, educators, and park staffs in WA and OR. additionalType: staff profile page introductory statement - '@type': TextObject abstract: "My science career began in 1978 at the USGS\u2014Project Office Glaciology\ \ research group in Tacoma, WA, where my first task was to oversee photogrammetry\ \ for the remapping of long-term study glaciers, as designated during the International\ \ Geophysical Year (1957-1958). During the early 1980s, I participated in a\ \ multi-faceted study of drastic recession at Alaska\u2019s Columbia Glacier,\ \ and its hydrologic environment. By the mid-1980s, rapid thinning had commenced\ \ at some Cascade Range glaciers, and for most of a decade thereafter, I co-led\ \ a study of glacier-related floods and debris flows that ravaged regions of\ \ rapid glacier recession, principally at Mount Rainier. The May 18, 1980 catastrophic\ \ eruption of Mount St. Helens killed 57 people and caused more than $1 Billion\ \ in damages. Involvement in that eruption response inspired projects that assessed\ \ impacts of volcanic ash on snowmelt, and the potentially hazardous hydrologic\ \ contributions of glaciers. However, the most far-reaching impact of the eruption\ \ on me came from being present to observe and reflect upon the necessary roles\ \ of researchers as scientific investigators, and as effective communicators\ \ and advisors to public officials. This realization was a career changer.\ \ In 1995, then domiciled at the USGS Cascades Volcano Observatory, I made\ \ a switch from scientific projects to establishing the Cascades \u2018Living\ \ with a Volcano in your Backyard Outreach Program.\u2019 Emergency managers\ \ were creating inter-agency Volcano Hazard Working Groups in volcanic areas\ \ of Washington and Oregon. Since the mid-1990s and continuing to today, these\ \ working groups prepare and exercise emergency coordination plans and address\ \ issues of pertinence to policy makers, planners and infrastructure specialists.\ \ My role has been aiding the working groups and creating venues for educating\ \ communications professionals who can disseminate hazard information efficiently\ \ through their professional communication pathways. These groups include educators,\ \ park interpreters, public information officers, and the news media. Between\ \ 2013 and 2020 a new career dimension opened with co-developing a \u2018binational\ \ exchange program\u2019, whereby groups of public officials learn about volcanically\ \ devastated or at-risk regions of Colombia and the USA through interactions\ \ with visiting professional counterparts. Some earlier career experiences\ \ have informed my career, including several years of teaching in a US public\ \ school and a private school in Kathmandu, Nepal, and working as an Interpreter\ \ at two National Park facilities. These experiences helped me to understand\ \ elements of effective science communication that are common to multiple professions.\ \ Now in status as a Scientist Emerita, I am completing writing projects that\ \ provide documentation about ongoing interagency efforts and pathways forward\ \ on behalf of volcano hazard mitigation in the Cascade Range." additionalType: personal statement - '@type': TextObject abstract: '"Mount St. Helens Revisited: Lives Changed, Lessons Learned and Legacies of the 1980 Eruptions" June, 2021 USGS Public Lecture https://www.usgs.gov/news/state-news-release/media-advisory-mount-st-helens-revisited-live-online-public-lecture"Mount St. Helens Revisited: Lives Changed, Lessons Learned and Legacies of the 1980 Eruptions" June, 2021 USGS Public Lecture' additionalType: staff profile page abstract email: cmastin@usgs.gov hasCredential: - '@type': EducationalOccupationalCredential name: M.S.
