HOW WE HELP SCIENTISTS

The Institute helps scientists in many ways.  If you are interested in conducting research at Mount St. Helens, we’d like to hear from you. Email Ray Yurkewycz at ryurkewycz@mshinstitute.org. Some of the ways scientists are supported at Mount St. Helens include:

RESOURCES

The Pacific Northwest Research Station (PNW) has a website with summaries of the biological research done after the May 18, 1980 eruption. The website also has an updated bibliography of published results. The U.S. Geological Survey’s website has geological information about the volcano itself. These two sites are a great place to start if you are learning about Mount St. Helens.

FIELD CAMP

The Institute provides a field camp near Windy Ridge during summer months for scientists collecting data in the field. If you are scoping out a potential research project and need a place to camp, we may be able to accommodate you. You can email climb@mshinstiute.org or see our Private Trips page for details on how to inquire about renting our Field Camp.
