Description: Last updated on 10/9/2015 by KLB.This dataset contains inundation zones for Case 1 lahars which are defined as areas that could be affected by cohesive lahars that originate as enormous avalanches of weak, chemically altered rock from the volcano. case I lahars can occur with or without eruptive activity. The average time interval between Case I lahars on Mount Rainier is about 500 to 100 years.This data is part of a dataset that contains lahar_case_1, lahar_case_2, lahar_case_3, postlahar, and pyroclastic, lahar_parcel, and lahar_study_area. Lahar_parcel and lahar_study_area were added by The Washington Division of Geology and Earth Resources. Lahar_case_1, Lahar_case_2, lahar_case_3, postlahar, and pyroclastic originated from USGS Open-File Report 2007-2005: Schilling, S. P.; Doelger, S.; Hoblitt, R. P.; Walder, J. S.; Driedger, C.

GIS data layers case 1, case 2, and case 3 were delineated by scientists at the Cascade Volcano Observatory and depict various lahar inundation zones around the mountain. The lahar hazards were defined by field investigations and construction of cross sections.
