On the Cover…
This photo of Mount St. Helens was taken on 8 February 2005 from a vantage point about 13 km northwest of the volcano. Mount St. Helens reawakened in September 2004 and was in a state of continuous eruption through January 2008. During that time, it produced a dacite lava dome roughly 100-million cubic meters in volume. The eruption was accompanied by millions of earthquakes, frequent rockfalls, and plumes such as the one pictured here, as well as very infrequent explosions. The jet contrail visible at the top of the photo underlines the aviation hazard posed by explosively erupting volcanoes, many of which (including Mount Hood, the volcano nearest to the SSA 2010 meeting site in Portland, Oregon) are located in busy air traffic corridors.

Table of Contents
Seismological Research Letters

The bimonthly Seismological Research Letters serves as a general forum for informal communication among seismologists, as well as between seismologists and those nonspecialists interested in seismology and related disciplines. The contents of SRL include contributed articles on topics of broad seismological interest, opinion pieces on current seismological topics, News and Notes about seismology in the U.S. and internationally, Transitions notes about seismologists, special earthquake reports, and letters to the editor.

"The Electronic Seismologist" is one of SRL's most popular columns. Many readers find its information on data exchange, the World Wide Web, and bulletin boards containing seismological information necessary reading. "EduQuakes" aims to provide a forum for the ongoing educational mission of the Seismological Society.

SRL prides itself on its ability to disseminate information quickly. For example, articles with preliminary reports about recent earthquakes of major public interest have appeared in as little as two months after the occurrences of the events. In summary, SRL is an excellent tool for keeping current on developments in earthquake seismology.
