40 Years of Watching Mount St. Helens
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 окт 2024
- It has been 40 years since Mount St. Helens erupted on May 18, 1980, in southwestern Washington, near the Oregon border. Fifty-seven people lost their lives in the disaster, and huge swaths of the surrounding forest were levelled. Both before and after the eruption, Landsat satellites were taking regular observations of the area, and their data is being used to study how forests recover from a very large disturbance.
Sean Healey is a research ecologist with the Rocky Mountain Research Service, United State Forest Service. Along with his colleague Zhiqiang Yang, Sean has been studying the forests in the area to determine how the structure of the forest changes with disturbances. He is interesteed in knowing the changes in carbon stocks and the dynamics of forest recovery. Sean and Zhiqiang have used Landsat data to create predictions of the percent tree cover as the trees and other vegetation regrows.
The Landsat Program is a series of Earth-observing satellite missions jointly managed by NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). Landsat satellites have been consistently gathering data about our planet since 1972. They continue to improve and expand this unparalleled record of Earth's changing landscapes for the benefit of all.

While hes talking about an increase in vegetation on mt st helens, all im seeing is a huge amount of logging in the surrounding area.
Which it literally just showed and commented on how it grows back within 20 years. Logging is a very sustainable industry, unlike fossil fuels which are way more damaging and of course unsustainable.
@@Techiastronamo and when spirit lake bursts and the mudflow happens again they will wish they hadnt logged so much. I agree it can be sustainable but the side of an active volcano doesnt seem like the best choice.
@@ronharris91 Well, it's a good choice if the risk is relatively low. It only has that kind of cataclysmic event once every century or so. We've got decades before it's going to be active again, based on historical records of previous events. There's a cycle, a pattern.
I know... heartbreaking
@@Techiastronamo Sustainable only not when rampant like what we're seeing here.
Every time I see something about Mount St. Helens I think of that Harry Truman guy at spirit lake, still in his house, buried there forever.
What?
Me too, I think about Harry and all his cats.
@@jasonroos8431 all those poor cats😢😢
Has anyone done a documentary of him? Or tried to find his old house?
I think about bill wurtz
The concussive wave was visible were I was that morning.
Totally disturbing the low fog surrounding our orchard.
Then in short order
A whole lot of ash , day turned to night.
I will never forget that 10 day period of life as a young man living 60 miles east of a monster
My late wife and I were working on a series of geologic maps for the US Department of Energy in 1980 and were working on the 2* quadrangle (1:250,000) containing Mt. St. Helens when it erupted. When we sent to preliminary draft off to DOE for approval we taped a cloud shaped piece paper, colored gray, over Mt. St. Helens labelled Hva, "Holocene volcanic ash (not yet settled out)." DOE told us just to use the pre-existing geology and not wait to document the changes.
Blew up on my 18th birthday! One hell of a birthday candle!
wow your old
@@Pinkielover Thank you Pinkie, you really know how to make a man feel good.
@@Pinkielover bruh whats your problem
Happy late 58th birthday then
Next time you blow out a candle warn everyone. 8 )
It is outrageous, I can not believe they are talking about reforestation while you can literally see a massive, gigantic forest being completely destroyed in 35 years. You can even see patches of recently revegetated forest being cut down...
Umm, it does grow back
I visited Mount St. Helens last year. It really is a sight so see.
I visited Mount St. Helens in 1981. It really was a sight so see.
PaddyPatrone ,,I visited it last week,,looked like a mountain with one side blow off, woopee 🙄
@@sweetjrewing5435 Vesuvius in Italy is similar. Standing in Pompei or Naples, you can get a clear impression of how tall the volcano was before it blew up in 79 AD, leaving a huge part of the mountain missing.
Mount St. Helens has a pretty cool gift shop. Well I haven't been there in a while and I've been wondering if it's even still there.
Yes, reference, I like it
Yes it is still there.
I love wood and working with it. I even respect some logging companies. But watching the encroachment of clear cutters towards the old growth is like watching blight grow on a rose.
Wood is a crop like any other. It grows back. Is harvested again. Rinse and repeat.
@@saxonlight That is highly dependent on good forestry management. Clear cutting easily damages local microenvironments if done wholesale. Probably not so much as a volcano though.
@@saxonlight Selective logging is the answer. Don`t cut big patches but single trees. That way the forest keeps it`s character and recieves way less damage. It`s also grows back faster. Thats how we mostly do it here in germany and it works quite well.
@@saxonlight Nope, It's funny to hear excuses from people trying to alter ecological facts about our forests to fit their narrative about how "beneficial" logging is and how forests are just a cash crop. Trees are part of an ecosystem that doesn't need your help to survive, they are home to abundant wildlife and will always be better off without logging. "Modern Forestry" or whatever you people call it nowadays is simply the abuse of our environment to line the pockets of those involved. There are benefits to old-growth forests that we will never experience if our young 50-year-old forests are continuously cut. Clearcuts look absolutely disgusting. Hard to believe logging companies are already taking advantage of an area that is just beginning to recover after a disaster like Mt. St Helens, but I expect that much from loggers.
@@saxonlight The habitat of many animals and plants is destroyed when "harvesting" occurs. It is lost immediately and never returns to its original state.
Fascinating and a comfort to know living things prevail.
My grandpa, a geologist decided to live near mt saint helens because he figured if he was ever able to witness an eruption, it would be there. And he did
Some people freak out that man has cut down some trees, but ol’ Mt. St. Helens obliterated more than man ever did. Yet,,, trees are still growing back. Life always finds a way.
Woohoo! (Let's hear it for Ladsat)
aye Laddie!
landsat*
Will be incredible when we have 100 yrs of continuous land sat imagery.
So beautiful... 💕
I leArn more on this channel than school
@Beat YT You folks can learn more from channels like this and the library than you can in school these days . . . ;>)
Go LANDSAT!!!
Very well done. Easily understandable. Thanks for posting. :) Greg in TN
Neat! Go landsat!
Against clear-cutting. How about you?
no.
Yay, forest fires!
Nature really is fascinating.
Great video. Thank you
This is awesome 🇺🇸👑💕
Super cool insight to that kind of work!
So it's basically just an advert for their satellite. Nice
It's hard to believe that it's been 40 years since it erupted.
GIS guy here. Shout-out to LandSat
way to go Landsat!
Anyone notice there is deforestation in a row.
I see they're still clear-cutting the area, even in 2019.
Weyerhauser owns 50,000 acres adjacent to Mt St Helens. Within a year of the eruption, they were harvesting enough fallen timber to build 85,000 homes. They had immediately done research to find out what the ash needed to support new forests. They terra formed their acreage and started replanting. Withing 20 years, they were harvesting and replanting. Mean while, the land controlled by the park service, still looked like the surface of the moon.
This video is awesome 🇺🇸👑💕💕
I like this video based on science and facts. Here in Australia my doctor gave me a perfect remedy for the hard uncomfortable corns in my feet
to use the pumice from a volcano and rub it on the corns of my feet and yes it works . Sawtell Beach Australia has pumice washed up in the sand dunes in the dry sand it
I know because I have found a few months ago when I needed some for my feet. I now have a little basket full to keep some and give away too.
On another note if The Wild Animal Elk who call Mount St.Helens home is it all year round?
If it was found they suddenly exited the ares in a time they are usually found there is maybe a small window of the indication of eruption?
May I say 5 to 7 days here in Australia before New Zealand Volcano did erupt my 11 year son and myself kept remarking how each time we were both feeling the ground unstable
and it was when either of us stood in the bathtub to have our showers . I mentioned this to several people when they visited and showed them .
It was 5 to 7 days from first feeling the shaking to the New Zealand Volcano.
If it happens again I will surely let you know and test this theory?
Ok thanks for being scientists who make mother nature exciting and interesting and a kind of food for thought for myself.
I got a chance to see Mt. St Helens last July and it was a beautiful sight to see and got to picture it how it looked before it blew and as it erupted. Now I have a whole lot more respect for volcanoes just not here in Washington State but all over the world
It recovers VERY slowly. If being left alone. Those clear cuts are completely destroying all around with consistent "effectiveness"
Dont cry when you need paper, masks, heat, or wood then.
Does Mount St. Helens have any geothermal features?
Thanks LandSat
Je to geniální! ❤️
Great choice of music
Que fantástica informação sobre a evolução do Vulcão que não sabia da sua história e da evolução dos satélites cuja precisão é de facto inovadora...É incrível como a natureza verde foi habitar o vazio depois de ser extremamente destruída pela lava por onde passa deixa tudo negro!!
Nice content
Thank you Colin robinson
Humans look like their doing more damage than mount st Helen's ever did.
A very interesting video.
E o mte. rainier? Está ativo? Qual grau de perigo ele representa para os eua?
It’s about that time again 🌋
I remember it when it erupted , because my father had just passed
all I could see in the early time-laps was the logging- it continued to escalate through the decades- we are taking too much for a population of too many.
@Ryy Dog those are fields, not trees.
Far too much.
I was in 4th grade in science and saw these photos
Sorry but I see only clear-cuts growing...
1:20 landsat 1 satellite images before mt st helens 2:38 landsat 2 after mt st helens in eruption with landslides its color gray
Notice all the logging plots becoming yellow during the time-lapse. More damaging than the volcano...
Yeah😢. That’s the first thing that caught my eye
Lol it's all re planted
Aluminum Cloud - And some regrown partly, but the time lapse shows cutting far exceeding growth in the local area during the period shown.
Those are called ruts, & wood chips. Forestry was not sopost to be a pretty field of work, just a necessary one.
Do mount merapi
landsat! landsat! landsat!
All i see is just cutting huge amounts of tree and this totally not looks sustainable. In 10 years are are no trees anymore there.
Trees grow back
Mount St. Helens is about to blow up
And it's gonna be a fine, swell day
Everything's gonna fall down to the ground and turn grey
All of my friends, family, and animals are probably going to run away
But me, I'm feeling curious, so I think I just might stay
Mount St. Helens blew up today
The poet died, he wanted to stay.
All things fall, none are built to stay,
and it was us that built them that way.
Cutting trees, got bills to pay? Okay.
Now watch as Mother Nature slowly withers away.
All I see is destruction of old growth forest.
The woodlots are harvested every 30-40 years sometimes sooner. Most true old growth is protected or gone.
But capitalism must continue so all other life doesn't matter, its all about dat $
@@Pauly421 Mammon must feed
@@Pauly421 well stop using wood products then
@@Pauly421 True, but honestly: People keep having kids, so... unless we can start paying people to NOT reproduce, you're going to see demand for wood products continue to increase, and what's really sad is most of it goes overseas. The best way to help the environment is to not get her pregnant! ( I know, so "controversial" but it's the truth NOBODY wants to talk about since everyone is "entitled" to crapping out kids, even people who make poor choices, jobless, make $
So glaciers can form quickly and Forrest’s grow quicker than most think
4Head ah yes of course
Landsat!!!
مصري مر من هنا
Unbelievable they continue cutting trees, sad true!
Yah Landsat!!! More of my tax dollars well spent!! Now if we can just cut the waste on the hill there would be more!

Lucky thing Trump wasn't president back then or he would of denied science and said the mountain didn't erupt.
Rained ash in Calgary Alberta eventually . We could see this massive plume all the way from there and were told the wind would eventually bring a lot of ash and that was an understatement.
Was everywhere and trying to shovel it like snow worked poorly.
Really? You just had to get in a stupid uncalled for Trump bash in. So unnecessary and divisive. Grow up.
@@nikkibest5010 Trump divided America not me and what I said was 100% true
@@SuperTaraMac wrong . This country has been divided sense day one .
😲🤓

Should have replanted it.
@@johnperic6860 No, man can do better than nature.
can we just leave the trees alone for a year or two? geez
Can you stop consuming anything wood related for a year to two? That includes paper, those masks everyone has to wear now. That beautiful wood floor.
We leave them alone for about 40 years once it's done.

I find the plinky-plonky background ditty (when things turn green, duh) so distracting and annoying.
