Precision gravity networks at Lassen Peak and Mount Shasta, California

Reoccupiable precision gravity networks for the purpose of monitoring volcanic activity were established in the vicinity of Lassen Peak and Mt. Shasta. Base-line measurements were made during the summer of 1981, nearly coincident in time with other base-line geodetic measurements. The gravity surveys yielded gravity values at network stations relative to local bases with typical uncertainties of 0.007 mGal (1 computed standard error).

Precision gravity network for monitoring the Lassen geothermal system, Northern California

A precision gravity network consisting of approximately 50 stations was established to monitor the Lassen geothermal system. The network was surveyed during the summer of 1982 and tied to a similar network established in 1981. Measurements yielded relative gravity values at the network stations with average uncertainties of 0.007 mGal (1 computed standard error).
