Description
Abstract
Scientists at the Cascade Volcano Observatory have completed hazard
assessments for the five active volcanoes in Washington. The five studies
included Mount Adams (Scott and others, 1995), Mount Baker (Gardner and
others, 1995), Glacier Peak (Waitt and others, 1995), Mount Rainier
(Hoblitt and others, 1995) and Mount St. Helens (Wolfe and Pierson, 1995).
Twenty Geographic Information System (GIS) data sets have been created
that represent the hazard information from the assessments. The twenty
data sets have individual Open File part numbers and titles as listed below

Purpose
The purpose for each data set varies, please see individual metadata
for appropriate purpose and use.
Supplemental_Information
Procedures_Used
This data set was created by the CREATE command. A single polygon
was added to the coverage to export in the Spatial Data Transfer
Standard (SDTS). See individual data sets for procedures used.
Each of the data sets was digitized from mylar or clear film stable base
materials except for tephra hazards for Mount Rainier that were imported
from in-house software. Metadata for each data set indicates scales for
which the data should be used and is also the scale of the source maps.
Root mean squared errors for both digitizing and transformations were
evaluated (Environmental Systems Research Institute, 1992, p. 4-23).
