Volcanoes are making noise around the globe and you can read about it in this week’s SI/USGS Volcano Report.

Send me your questions, pictures or whatever volcanically-related news!
The latest volcano news from the USGS and Smithsonian.
A roundup of the latest volcanically-related NASA Earth Observatory images, including Rabaul, Shiveluch and a great panorama of the Canary Islands.
The continuing effects of eruptions past at two volcanoes and the best of volcano-inspired literature.
Mystery volcano in Kamchatka is disrupting flights to Asia and the local residents around Kelud in Indonesia refuse to heed the warnings of an imminent eruption. UPDATE: Erroneous news feeds got me … this is old news (but still illustrates an important point).
On second thought, living on an active volcano might be problematic.
The weekly Smithsonian / USGS Volcano Report brings us news from Indonesia, Philippines, Russia and more.
The servers and software behind the scenes here at ScienceBlogs will be getting upgraded tonight (7/21). After 7 PM (Eastern), commenting will be turned off (even though the comment form […]
Thermal images of the dome at Shiveluch, things quieting down at some volcanoes in Indonesia and the alert level is raised at Sakurajima – all this and more in this week’s GVP update.
Shiveluch continues its noisy summer, we hope to avoid unnecessary noise at Crater Lake National Park and former noise spotted on Mars.
After all the concern about the rockfall “snuffing out” the vent at Halema`uma`u Crater in Kilauea, lava is already bubbling and pooling in the vent.
A brief update on the monitoring of Mayon, more great pictures of volcanoes from space and the news that the Toba eruption might have caused a decade of volcanic winters (but didn’t try to kill all the humans).
The latest round-up of volcano news, including the potential spotting of a dome growing at Sarychev Peak, rumblings in El Salvador and small ash plumes at Anak Krakatau.
Its not every day that a new geyser appears out of the blue, but that is exactly what appears to have happens in Kamchatka, as the Prikolny (“Peculiar”) Geyser has appears near Uzon caldera.
Two volcanoes headed in opposite directions: the Alert level was raised at Mayon in the Philippines, while 24/7 staffing of the AVO operations center has ceased now that Redoubt seems to have quieted down.
Water and volcanism! Read what I have to say about this and other matters in my interview in ‘The Reef Tank’.
If the activity at Mayon continues to increase, over 75,000 people could be evacuated from the region near the volcano. As usual, there are also those who don’t want to believe the volcano is a threat.
Every once in a while, the Astronomy Picture of the Day throws in a volcano with all the space imagery. July 13’s image was one of the best. Plus, oil production will resume next month in the Cook Inlet, Alaska.
The weekly USGS/SI volcano report is out, with some eyewitness description of the recent eruption in Ethiopia, Shishaldin in the Aleutians going on Yellow Alert and two volcanoes in Guatemala making noise.
The thermal anomaly at the crater on Shishaldin in Alaska appears to be increasing in intensity and now there appears to be some indications that seismicity is following suit. Is something up?
A look at “folk volcano monitoring” in the Philippines, Kilauea takes out another piece of the doomed Royal Gardens subdivision and another great images of an active volcano from NASA.
Inside you’ll find a Q&A on Martian volcanoes, some new details on the Ethopian eruption, the innards of Halema`uma`u and Nyiragongo from space.
Catch up on the week’s volcanic events with the USGS/SI Volcano Report.
Did an Eruptions reader find a volcanic eruption before anyone else? Maybe so for the new eruption going on at Manda Hararo in Ethiopia.
The glow at Halema’uma’u Crater on Kilauea’s summit has been blocked by a rockfall that has clogged the vent with debris. Now, the question is what caused the rockfall and what effect it might have activity at the summit of the volcano.
The alert level hasn’t been changed, but increasing signs of activity at Mayon in the Philippines is cause for concern.
More activity in Ecuador and Indonesia. Also, check out how a major airline deals with volcanic eruptions.
Five hundred meter lava fountains in Ecuador, webcams for all (well, some) in Kamchatka and the rise/fall of lava at Kilauea, all in this week’s USGS/SI weekly report.
