nn If you ever want your research to be picked up by the popular press, you pretty much need to publish in the journal Science. It (along with Nature) are […]
nnThe Okmok Caldera eruption is still going on, almost a month after it started. The latest USGS/SI Weekly Report states: n nn Strong volcanic tremor on 2 August prompted AVO to […]
The current eruption at Kasatochi is causing a lot of flight cancellations for flights from Alaska to points in the continental US. The ash is swirling its way around the […]

nn The folks up in Alaska have a lot to watch these days in the Aleutians, with three volcanoes erupting right now. Just a quick update on the current activity: […]
nn Mayon, a volcano in the Philippines, is on watch for an eruption after experiencing small explosions. Philvolcs, (short for the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology), reports a small ash […]
nn We had a brief bit over the weekend that Mayon in the Philippines had a number of small explosive events (less the one minute worth of activity). However, Philvolcs […]
This article sums up a lot of the events that led up to the Kasatochi (Alaska) eruption last week from the point of view of the biologists on the island […]
I’ll be brief (as I’m in the middle of moving), but I did see a report that activity at Chaiten is increasing yet again. This seems like the operating mode […]
nn NASA posted a nice image of the ash plume from the current eruption at Kasatochi (Alaska) showing the brown/grey ash mixing with white clouds over the Pacific. Not much […]
nn I will be away from Eruptions for the next 2 weeks or so. I won’t be on vacation, I will actually be out on volcanoes themselves doing some much-needed fieldwork. […]
nnSorry about the lack of update. Having no internet while moving will do that! I did see an email this morning that had some interesting information about the amount of […]
I am back from my trek through the Oregon and California Cascades – including stops at Lassen Peak/Chaos Crags, Hood, Three Sisters and Crater Lake (an added bonus). I’ll try […]
nn Two volcanoes on the island of Luzon look like they might be primed for activity, at least according to PHILVOLCS, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology. Both Mayon and […]
nn Whether this is a coincidence or not, I thought I’d mention a report of an earthquake near the crater of Nevado del Huila in Colombia. The earthquake is reported […]
nn Not sure how it was kept quiet for most of the week (well, at least to me), but geologists at the HVO have noticed a new lava lake in […]
I wanted to post the new MODIS image of Chaiten that caught the volcano erupting on September 3. I won’t go into too much details, there are a lot of […]
(Note: Yes, I am posting when I said I wouldn’t, but I felt I needed to post about Colombia). Colombian authorities are evacuating the area around Nevada del Huila after […]
nn After the news of a sizable earthquake under Nevado del Huila, we can add Nevado del Ruiz to the list of volcanoes that have been shaken up recently. There was a […]
nn Well, I’ll be taking one more break before summer ends here in California (yes, we run on the quarter system, so classes don’t start until the end of September). […]
Ruapehu is a noisy volcano, showing signs of eruptions on a yearly basis. It is also a potentially very hazardous volcano as it produces abundant lahars and has the capacity […]
nn The Alaska Volcano Observatory is reporting that both current eruptions in the Aleutians – at Okmok Caldera and Mount Cleveland – are showing signs of a lava extruding from […]
nn There haven’t been any major developments volcano-wise over the weekend, just a few updates on some current rumblings: nn n n Soufriere Hills (Montserrat) coughed up more ash, producing ash columns to […]
After raising the alert level at Okmok Caldera in Alaska to Red over the weekend, AVO has reduced it to Orange. Reports have the volcano producing ash columns of less […]
Ecuador’s Geophysical Institute is reporting that Reventador is currently erupting ash. Apparently, there is no threat to nearby Quito or any pipelines near the volcano. The volcano last erupted in […]
It seemed like events at Soufriere Hills had been heading for a dome collapse for the past few week and sure enough, part of the summit dome collapsed last night, […]
I have a few bits of news about one (of the three) volcanoes erupting in Ecuador. Reports from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office of Ecuador says the volcano is still […]
So, August rolls in and who would have thought in early May we’d still be talking about the Chaiten eruption with such intensity. Jorge Munoz of the SERNAGEOMIN is wondering […]
nn I’m always pleased to see more countries setting up volcanic monitoring networks. Well, I suppose I’m pleased when it is a volcanically-active country, I mean, Switzerland setting up one […]
