Abstract: This will be a mostly non-technical talk, in which I will describe the ongoing Mount St. Helens eruption with a bit of geological background. After a brief discussion of the the seismic record, I will present statistical problems relating to classification of events in the seismic record, and discuss the work in progress of trying to relate the seismic record to the dynamics of the eruption.
