Description
Sara Osman, Thomas Jones, Yannick Le Moigne and Melanie Kelman produced the first probabilistic ash fall hazard maps for Mount Garibaldi in British Columbia in 2026. The volcano carries Canada's highest threat ranking, yet no hazard map existed for it.
They modelled ash spread for two eruption sizes. A mid-size event could drop disruptive ash loads over about 810 square kilometres, and a larger one over about 9,360. Loads heavy enough to damage buildings and roads cover smaller but still large areas. The combined map and briefing give emergency managers a concrete basis for planning road, airport and community protection before any eruption happens.
