Central Oregon ‘Bulge” Could
Signal a Volcanic Eruption
A significant bulge in the earth’s
crust has developed over the past
four years near volcanoes in cen­
tral Oregon but it’s not clear whether
it could presage a volcanic erup­
tion, geologists said last week.
The bulge, 9 to 12 miles across
and about 4 inches high, was de­
tected by satellite radar, said W illie
S cott, a U SG S scientist at the
a g e n c y ’s
v o lc a n o
la b
in
V ancouver, W ashington.
“Because it’s a volcanic area and
th ere’s been a long history o f vol­
canic activity in that part o f the
C ascades, it’s possible it m ight be
m agm a, or m olten rock, m oving
deep underground,” Scott said.
The bulge is located near the
Three Sisters, a trio o f volcanoes at
the center o f the Cascade Range in
Oregon.
The last m ajor eruption in the
Pacific N orthw est occurred in May
1980, when M ount St. Helens blew
o ff about 1,300 feet o f its top.
The uplift in C entral O regon is
too broad and low to be noticed

The USGS scientists discovered
the bulge through use o f a rela­
tively new technique called satel­
lite radar interferometry, which uses
satellite data to create images o f
the E a rth ’s surface.
Im ages taken at different times, •
but from the same location in space, >
can be used to detect changes o f :
even a few inches in the elevation 1
o f the ground.
Scientists have looked across 1
the W est for signs o f bulges, but
this is the first prom inent change
on record using this technique.
“T h ere’s nothing as striking as
this one,” Scott said. “This is quite
a prom inent uplift.”
“ But there’s nothing right now
that makes us think there’s an immi­
nent danger” o f an eruption, he
said. In addition to accelerating up­
lift, other indicators o f an eruption
w ould include earthquakes, typi­
cally swarm s o f small quakes gen­
erated by rock fracturing as magma
moves upward, and large emissions
o f volcanic gases, such as carbon
dioxide.
