Dave Sherrod Quotations

One view of this eruption is that we're at the end of the eruption that began in 1980.

Most of what we see today is 4,000 years old.

This eruption has gotten increasingly sluggish. There's almost no gas being produced. We haven't had a big event since the (36,000 foot high) ash plume in March 2005, and we're feeling increasingly comfortable that we're looking at the sluggish end of this. ... I don't see how it can go on for another year without stalling.

We haven't had that kind of plume since March 8, which is either a blessing or it leads us into complacency. We avoid complacency.
