Baker eruptive history, hazards, crater photos, fumarole videos and research reports are at the main MBVRC website: http://mbvrc.wwu.edu
There, you will find updated information about volcano research at Mount Baker, a full list of published papers and abstracts about Baker, images and video about Baker geology, eruptive history, geochemistry of Baker rocks and fumaroles, and how to contribute to our research efforts.
Mount Baker Volcano Research Center is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit research and educational center, affiliated with the Geology Department at Western Washington University in Bellingham, Washington. Our goals are to raise public awareness about Mount Baker volcano hazards, and to raise funds to support our own and others research efforts at the volcano. MBVRC is registered with Washington State as a nonprofit research and educational organization.

What is the chemistry and temperature average for the hot springs now? And if I want to check it, where on your site can I view it?

Hello, Suzanne,
Thanks for your query to MBVRC:
“What is the chemistry and temperature average for the hot springs now? And if I want to check it, where on your site can I view it?”
There is some fumarole chemistry posted on our website, at http://mbvrc.wwu.edu/geochemistry/index.shtml
We do not have Baker Hot Springs geochem posted on the http://www.mbvrc.wwu.edu website. No USGS sampling, to the best of my knowledge, has been recorded at the hot springs since 1988, which is pretty sad. I know that another round of crater fumarole geochemistry measurements will be attempted this coming summer, which I hope we could eventually post on the MBVRC website. I’ll ask those folks to try to sample the springs as well. I strongly suspect that hot spring temps fluctuate a lot during the snowmelt season, when there’s a lot of runoff in the vicinity. That would be an interesting thing to verify. Hmmmmm, sounds like a student project to me….
Thanks for writing.

I am very interested in the trip to Baker on the 24th, but I can’t justify the cost to myself. Could you tell me what I will get for my $75.

Lee,
The field trip fee includes van transportation, a trip handout, a full day of hands-on guided geology with digressions to explain any required background material, scintillating company with geologists and interested citizens. How’s that?
