Most of the information in this list has been published as U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 95-435, "Bibliography For Hayes, Spurr, Crater Peak, Redoubt, Augustine, Iliamna, Douglas, and Aniakchak Volcanoes, Alaska" by Kathleen J. Lemke, Benjamin A. May, and Ann M. Vanderpool.
Since the Open-File Report was published, new reports on volcanoes that were written by Alaska Water Resources personnel have been added to this list. The list was updated in March, 2002.

Alaska has more than 40 active volcanoes, many of which are close to the major population centers of south-central Alaska. To better understand these volcanoes, the Alaska Volcano Observatory was established in 1988 to monitor volcanoes, assess volcanic hazards, issue eruption notifications, and conduct volcano research in Alaska. Thesebibliographies were compiled to assist in the preparation of volcano hazard evaluations at Cook Inlet volcanoes. They list articles, reports, and maps about the geology and hydrology of Hayes, Spurr, Redoubt, Iliamna, Augustine, and Douglas volcanoes in the Cook Inlet region as well as Aniakchak Volcano on the Alaska Peninsula. References on the biology and archaeology of areas surrounding each volcano also are included because they may provide useful background information.
Most of the citations in these bibliographies were obtained by searching the following commercially available databases on CD-ROM: LaserCat, Georef, Agricola, National Technical Information Service, Fisheries Worldwide, Wildlife Worldwide, Water Resources Abstracts, Arctic and Antarctic, and the volcano database of the University of Alaska, Fairbanks Geophysical Institute's library.
