Mount Baker Volcano Monitoring

Seismic data is collected at two seismic stations, one to the west (MBW) and one on the east (SHUK). To see this data:

• Mount Baker seismic activity: Pacific Northwest Seismic Network (University of Washington). Includes map with epicenters of the 20 most recent earthquakes in the Mount Baker area. NOTE: the map at the PNSN site showing Baker earthquakes is very small. Zoom in and look carefully for the tiny icons used to mark hypocenters.

• 24-hour Webicorder seismometer data (charts) for Cascade volcanoes from Pacific Northwest Seismic Network. Scroll down to find current data for MBW (Mount Baker West) and SHUK (Shuksan Arm). Click on each for that station’s data.

• The page on “how to read the webicorder data” has been taken down.
