Hide Profile

James Cook (born 1937) was an entomologist employed by Washington State University. Beginning in 1980 he undertook investigation of effect of deposits of volcanic ash on insects. His project was one of several investigations at Washington State University following the eruption of Mt. St. Helens in May of 1980 and related deposition of volcanic ash over a broad band across Eastern Washington and North Idaho. Investigation basically disclosed that volcanic ash was inert and non-toxic in its effect on insects, but it did block respiration in some species and resulted in the death of bees and similar species of insects.
