Description Abstract This data set shows the boundaries for lahars, debris avalanches and other related zones for Mount Adams (Scott and others, 1995). The lines in this data set are labeled according to the type of volcanic hazard. Nine registration marks are distributed over the hazard zones. The coverage is in the universal transverse mercator projection.

Keywords: None.

Purpose This data set is intended for analysis, planning, and making maps of hazards. The boundaries do not mark a distinct change between hazard and no-hazard areas. The degree of hazard decreases with increase of distance or elevation outside the boundary. Because lahars and debris avalanches are complex phenomena and they are the major volcanic hazard at Mount Adams, it is recommended that users read Scott and others (1995).

Supplemental_Information Procedures_Used A stable base map with linework was obtained from the authors. Latitude, longitude registration ticks were added to the base and used to orient the map on a digitizing tablet. Linework was collected in ArcEdit with digitizer inch units, a weed tolerance of 0, and a nodesnap set to closest 0.05 inches. A second coverage was created from the original. The decimal degree latitude and longitude values were substituted for the digitizer inch values in the second coverage. The second coverage was reprojected to a UTM projection with parameters of zone 10, units in meters, and a spheroid of Clarke 1866. The original coverage was transformed to the second projection to create a coverage in meters. RMS values were inspected during the transformation. The final coverage was plotted at the same scale as the base map, overlain on the basemap and checked for errors. The dataset was renamed to admlahar for Mount Adams lahar hazard zone.
