Quantifying Eruptive and Background Seismicity, Deformation, Degassing, and Thermal Emissions at Volcanoes in the United States
RESEARCH ARTICLE Quantifying Eruptive and Background Seismicity, 10.1029/2021JB021684 Deformation, Degassing, and Thermal Emissions at Key Points: Volcanoes in the United States During 1978–2020 • In the United States, 96 of 161 volcanoes have at least one type K.
