"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. | |||
