We have a potential volcano problem on our hands, in this case involving Canada's volcanoes. It does not involve Mount Meager or simply just Mount Garibaldi, but rather, all of the nations volcanoes. Despite producing 6 volcanic eruptions in the last 500 years, absolutely none of Canada's volcanoes meet proper monitoring standards. I made this video to explain the current situation, along with a proposal (based off of source [1] in this video's "sources/citations" section) of what is needed to properly monitor the nations volcanoes.

As a citizen living in Greater Vancouver BC, I completely agree with your assessment. Our governments both national and provincial don't seem to understand the threat some of these systems could pose populated areas. Although our part of the Ring of Fire seems surprisingly quiet compared to Alaska, and Washington state, that could be more a lack of monitoring, than actually being uneventful.

@byz-blade Месяц назад

Garibaldi is close enough to Squamish and Whistler to be major problem, and depending on weather could impact Vancouver and the Lower Mainland. The others on the list are very remote. Unless you’ve spent time really exploring BC, it’s hard to comprehend just how remote most of the province is. Yes, small settlements would be affected by several of the volcanoes (e.g. Atlin BC, population approx 500) but that’s about it. And airline routes could easily be routed around them. The chain of volcanoes through Washington and Oregon states are a much much bigger problem, especially Rainer which looms over Seattle (and surrounding cities), and Mt Hood which is close to Portland. Mt Baker is probably as much of a problem for Vancouver as Garibaldi.

In Vancouver huh. As much as the volcano's are a potential threat, they may or may not be imminent. The big quake, which will certainly be almost unparalleled in recent history in scale and or magnitude, and which will certainly cause tsunamis which will strike so quickly after the quakes as to be unavoidable for all but the luckiest. Add to that that much of Van is either adjacent to questionable hillsides, on a muddy delta, or both, and the city is gonna be in a bad way. It's got a high enough chance of occurring in any given year that if it were a potentially mild work injury, the work would not be allowed. I think we don't understand what this will all mean for the province.

The EU printed out an analysis book a good few years ago, while Britain was a member state. They missed Wales off the front cover illustration map.

@jimthain8777 Месяц назад

What book are you talking about here? I have: Volcanoes of North America: United States and Canada. It says it was printed in about 1993, so it is now about 30 years old. YIKES! I will quote from it. "Canada is commonly thought to occupy a gap in the Pacific Ring of Fire between the Cascade volcanoes of the western United States and the Aleutian volcanoes of Alaska, yet the Cordillera of British Columbia and (the) Yukon includes more than 100 separate volcanic centers that have been active during the Quarternary (period)." So my book does know something about them, BUT, the knowledge provided is sketchy. The section "Volcano Tectonics of Canada, by J. G. Souther is obviously about some under studied systems. (The book gives better information on most US volcanoes.) Now this is a specialist publication that I intentionally googled probably a decade or more ago to find it, so it probably has better information than most non-specialist books about the topic. (It wasn't a cheap book, but is fascinating. I should probably check to see if it has been updated.)

@carolynallisee2463 Месяц назад

@@jimthain8777 Not sure what the title of the book was, but I do know it covered what it called 'Active, Dormant and Extinct Volcanoes' though it concentrated heavily on the former, and barely gave page room to the latter. There was a page or two on the Wrangellia-St. Elias range as one or two of the mountains there were thought to be dormant or extinct volcanoes. I have to admit that the book is very United States-centric, so perhaps that's why they kind of skipped over Canada. I also get the feeling that the book was designed for the tourist market, aimed at those who had a more than passing interest in volcanoes, as maps are included of featured volcanoes, marking main highways, hiking trails, rest stops etc. Perhaps the combination of factors has led to this major discrepancy... or else, someone, somewhere has a bad case of denial going on!

Its even crazier when you consider how well many volcanically active developing countries like Indonesia and the Philippines are able to monitor and manage their volcanoes.

@keith6706 Месяц назад

You've identified the main issue: "volcanically active". I don't mean in the strict sense of "not extinct", but in common parlance. We don't have anything to constantly remind people vulcanism exists in the country compared to other nations where volcanic activity is an ongoing thing: Italy has Etna and Stromboli constantly going off while everyone is aware of Vesuvius. The US has the Hawai'ian volcanoes, Alaska regularly having eruptions, while Mt. Saint Helens is in the memory of a large percentage of the population. Indonesia has volcanoes going off, the Philippines has them going off, Iceland has them going off, Mexico has them going off (in the latter two cases within sight of the nation's capital), and so on. My geology department, when I attended university back in the early 90s, had zero courses on volcanology. They have one now, but just a single class in the program. The only time volcanoes were mentioned is their involvement in forming mineral deposits, or their role in structural geology and earth history, but contemporary research? Nope. I have worked with world class structural geologists and been taught by an expert in asteroid impacts, Canadian economic geologists and petroleum geologists and geophysicists work all over the world. Paleontologists? Gotcha covered. Experts in continental history and formation of the early Earth? There's a reason the Wilson Cycle, describing the formation, breakup. and reformation of supercontinents is named after a Canadian geophysicist. Glacial geology? Boy, got that covered. Volcanoes? Well... This isn't a subject that gets a lot of attention in Canadian universities because there isn't a huge demand because we don't have the media-friendly attention-getting eruptions other places have on an ongoing basis, and the events we do have have taken place in the middle of nowhere, relatively speaking, in hard-to-reach places. Without the regular eruption to remind people it exists, politicians are unwilling to allocated the funding necessary to set up monitoring programs, especially when the odds are against that monitoring having any results (outside of academic interest) in the average person's lifetime. And it isn't something that politicians are purely to blame for. Drop a few million for volcanic monitoring and basic research into those volcanoes and the outrage coming from members of the public at such a profligate "waste" would continually fill opinion columns. Especially since, of the thirteen provinces and territories, eleven of them would not get any of this funding. So we get stuck in a vicious cycle: we need the monitoring to warn of potential dangers, but without an example of that actual danger there's no support to build the monitoring so people don't know that danger exists which research and monitoring would reveal.

@pyrovania Месяц назад

@@keith6706 Good point about the funding. I studied infectious diseases in the 1990s. There was very little research on coronaviruses before the SARS epidemic in 2003, because they were considered to be common cold viruses that weren't dangerous. Few papers published and most of them were old. Good luck getting a grant. And the CDC did not monitor them, at all. Now they do.

@byz-blade Месяц назад

Consider for a moment that BC is about half the land area of Indonesia, and has about 55 times fewer people… very few of whom are close to any of those volcanoes, while many Indonesians literally live on them. The volcanoes of Indonesia (about 5x as many as Canada has) are also continuously banging away, compared to the last eruption in Canada being the century before last. We are much more likely to have an extremely destructive earthquake before we have a remote volcano pop its cork, and the quake will drastically affect 95% of BC’s population… whereas most of those volcanoes would be an interesting news story for all but a few hundred people. Garibaldi and one or two others ought to be higher priority than the others, but even so nothing compared to a magnitude 9+ subduction quake.

Yeah, the biggest issues about lack of monitor equipment on those volcanoes in Canada is due to: 1.) Budget limitations as Canadian's geology branch typically don't get much funding, as their budget is around CAD $57 to $97 million, that's barely to pay for no more than two dozen of volcanoes as they have to pay employees and other things too. 2.) Lack of political incentivization as those politicians don't take much stock in geology as they have bigger problems to deal with. 3.) Establishing monitoring equipment at the volcanoes are extremely difficult due to geography location and terrain topography as majority of those volcanoes are in rugged terrain and weather effects. (Canada usually gets lot of snow, rain and wind in higher elevations)

Thanks as always! More people really need to know of Canada's volcanoes, so they can be adequately studied and monitored. The extent to which the dates of many eruptions are unknown is quite sad. Additionally, it is quite troubling that the 1898 eruption's location is unclear. I apologize for saying this again, but the possibility that one of the 535-536 mystery eruptions occurred in the Northern Cordillera Province (Which is mostly in Canada, with smaller parts in Alaska) is also something that should not be ignored. Canada's volcanoes do really need more study. Their study can provide a range of benefits, from saving lives to potentially solving the mystery of what volcanoes contributed to one of the worst years in human history.

Welcome to Canadian federal politics. British Columbia where the majority of volcanoes reside is viewed by the Fed government as merely a resources area, could for taxing etc. Now if the volcanoes were in say quebec then all that equipment you mentioned would be inplace.

Mt. Meager had 2 active fumerols in 2016 when we flew around it in a small cesna. They were gone when we went back 4 years later. The Blacktusk (Garibaldi) event was just dust from a loose Rockfall. There is lots of low scale volcanic activity in the sea to Sky region. Basically none of it is actively monitored.

I'd like to hear about the geology of Molokai's kalaupapa peninsula. I over flew it on Thursday, on a work related visit to molokai from maui. And noticed a crater like formation there, but it didn't have the appearance of the usual eroded volcanic pu'u vent. How did the peninsula form? I've always thought it was a landslide formation, material that sloughed off the high cliffs that isolate it from the rest of the island... But that crater... I'd love to hear your take on it.

Our government unfortunately doesn't like to spend money on important things like volcanic monitors - it would rather spend $millions of our taxpayer dollars on covid ventilators that it subsequently sent to metal recycling, i.e. our government prefers to waste money rather than spend it on preventative action. Thank you for drawing this to our attention - I literally had no idea that we had so many volcanoes that could go off without us ever knowing that something could happen.

It’s part of the Pacific ring of fire. It’s a little horrifying that the government has not done anything, though that’s hardly surprising. Here in New Zealand (also on the ring of fire) our previous government was basically a copy of Trudeau’s and would pussyfoot around many issues that are important, while investing millions in very unimportant projects (like painting road crossings in rainbow colours, and closing down our only oil refinery). That said, we do monitor our volcanoes, and yet people are still killed by them occasionally (whakaari just a couple of years ago is a classic example, where it was at code orange and people were allowed to walk inside the crater)

@pyrovania Месяц назад

Yes. And there is a subduction zone that starts north of Vancouver and goes all the way to about Mendocino in California.

This implies that the Queen Charlotte “strike-slip” is at least partially a subduction fault and Cascadia extends far North of Mt. Garibaldi.

Honestly, money talks, again. Eruption are too scarce here, with no official casulaties reported since....forever? That means the government wont fund the equipment needed, the maintenance, nor the people to manage said equipment. More than 95% of the Canadian population would probably be against the usage of public funds for such purpose. That situation, unfortunaly, might change the day when a lahar takes 900 lives....

@nortyfiner Месяц назад

Most of Canada's volcanoes are located in some of the most forbidding true wilderness terrain in North America. Just getting to them, much less equipping and then maintaining remote monitoring equipment, is a significant physical and logistical task. They also are not highly active (no known eruptions in living memory) and are relatively distant from large population centers. All that plus the question "Who's going to pay for all this?" creates an attitude in Canada's government that volcano monitoring isn't a priority. Which likely will last until one of Canada's volcanoes wakes up and voters start asking, "Why weren't you monitoring this?" That's usually how it goes; risks ignored until they become a crisis. Bah.

@Mike.Smth2112 Месяц назад

To the untrained eye Mt Meager doesn’t resemble a volcano at all and one could mistaken it for a typical mountain that has extensive glacial erosion. The plate margin on the west Canadian coast must differ in terms of angle of subduction. It definitely produces much more mountainous land as opposed to the cascade area with its clearly obvious and frequent volcanoes.

@Dragrath1 Месяц назад

Yeah outside of the Vancouver area most of Canada's volcanoes and surrounding terrain a dominated by extensional magmatism and graben horst topography and rifting. Since the region is composed almost entirely from exotic terranes in what appears to have been an oceanic volcanic archipelago complex NA collided with during the Jurassic and Cretaceous, it is likely easier for the crust to extend the unconsolidated young crust and allow magma to the surface thus favoring primarily basaltic or otherwise mafic volcanism. To the North and extending into southern Alaska you have an ongoing compressional mountain building episode which has effectively jammed the subduction zone as the Yakutat terrain block( the northern plate counterpart of Siletzia the former Iceland of the Pacific) so you get large mountain building instead. Lastly NA is moving in a different direction from the Pacific plate frame of reference which means there is going to be some degree of strike slip action though it might be fairly minor since you are approaching the zone of subduction where the Pacific is getting dragged beneath the remnants of the archipelago train wreck collision. That at least is what I've gleaned primarily from the stuff on Nick Zentner's channel, it is definitely an understudied region so the full picture is likely much more complex.
