Following the 1980 eruption many geoscientists, ecologists and recreation planners launched careers that were marked by the power of change, scientific curiosity and a new National Monument. Mount St. Helens – the landscape and forces at play – were the perfect training ground for young minds; minds that would go on to shape our understanding of volcanology, ecology and land management.
Live virtualfieldtrips are underway at Mount St. Helens. These science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) courses take youth on an exciting and educational trip to our favorite volcano. These courses offer many options to suit the specific needs of your class. Busy teachers can run the course as is, but those looking to customize the experience can do so. These courses scale from a classroom environment to small teams, to individuals. How will your students explore Mount St. Helens this year? The choice is yours.
