Their aim is to achieve highest scientific standards by carrying out a rigorous peer review that is, as a minimum requirement, supposed to be able to identify fundamental methodological errors or false claims. Unfortunately, as many climate researchers and engaged observers of the climate change debate pointed out in various internet discussion fora, the paper by Spencer and Braswell [1] that was recently published in <em>Remote Sensing</em> is most likely problematic in both aspects and should therefore not have been published. After having become aware of the situation, and studying the various pro and contra arguments, I agree with the critics of the paper. Therefore, I would like to take the responsibility for this editorial decision and, as a result, step down as Editor-in-Chief of the journal <em>Remote Sensing</em>.</p></blockquote> <p>Full mea culpa, and some unkind words for the authors and their allies in the denialosphere <a href="http://www.mdpi.com/2072-4292/3/9/2002/">here</a>. Here's a little more to pump you up:</p> <!--more--><blockquote>With this step I would also like to personally protest against how the authors and like-minded climate sceptics have much exaggerated the paper's conclusions in public statements, e.g., in a press release of The University of Alabama in Huntsville from 27 July 2011 [2], the main author's personal homepage [3], the story "New NASA data blow gaping hole in global warming alarmism" published by <em>Forbes</em> [4], and the story "Does NASA data show global warming lost in space?" published by Fox News [5], to name just a few. Unfortunately, their campaign apparently was very successful as witnessed by the over 56,000 downloads of the full paper within only one month after its publication. But trying to refute all scientific insights into the global warming phenomenon just based on the comparison of one particular observational satellite data set with model predictions is strictly impossible. Aside from ignoring all the other observational data sets (such as the rapidly shrinking sea ice extent and changes in the flora and fauna) and contrasting theoretical studies, such a simple conclusion simply cannot be drawn considering the complexity of the involved models and satellite measurements.</blockquote> </div> <span><a title="View user profile." href="/author/hrynyshyn" lang="" about="/author/hrynyshyn" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="">hrynyshyn</a></span> <span>Fri, 09/02/2011 - 05:16</span> <div class="field field--name-field-blog-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-inline"> <div class="field--label">Tags</div> <div class="field--items"> <div class="field--item"><a href="/tag/uncategorized" hreflang="en">Uncategorized</a></div> <div class="field--item"><a href="/tag/remote-sensing" hreflang="en">remote sensing</a></div> </div> </div> <section> <article data-comment-user-id="0" id="comment-1907383" class="js-comment comment-wrapper clearfix"> <mark class="hidden" data-comment-timestamp="1314961357"></mark> <div class="well"> <strong></strong> <div class="field field--name-comment-body field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field--item"><p>Let me be the first (here, at least) to predict the totally obvious: that the denialosphere will herald this as proof that they are being systematically censored and that any violation of the united (conspiratorial) front is harshly punished.</p> </div> <drupal-render-placeholder callback="comment.lazy_builders:renderLinks" arguments="0=1907383&amp;1=default&amp;2=en&amp;3=" token="ESZsP6JvHyJfum9osOOv_MstBbk4ySOJizjaQjhlVKI"></drupal-render-placeholder> </div> <footer> <em>By <span lang="" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="">D.

However, another seismic event happended again late afternoon, similar<br /> to the one at 4 AM. Ashfall is reported within 30 km from the crater, and there are possiblilities<br /> that a new crater has opened up. Up to 3.000 tonns sulfur dioxide up to 400m above the top was partly<br /> visible duringthe day. Of the 8.000 inhabitants to be evacuated, most of them refuse to live their homes<br /> so far. Magma is still floating near the opening, and therefore reason to be prepared for new intensity.<br /> Source : <a href="http://www.vulkaner.no/v/volcan/galeras-e.html">http://www.vulkaner.no/v/volcan/galeras-e.html</a></p> </div> <drupal-render-placeholder callback="comment.lazy_builders:renderLinks" arguments="0=2210435&amp;1=default&amp;2=en&amp;3=" token="VrVsJGwkWJSh0nz-0f_WgCPh3ax4NxF6BuewK_jXsQM"></drupal-render-placeholder> </div> <footer> <em>By <span lang="" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="">Sherine, France (not verified)</span> on 26 Aug 2010 <a href="https://scienceblogs.com/taxonomy/term/19861/feed#comment-2210435">#permalink</a></em> <article typeof="schema:Person" about="/user/0"> <div class="field field--name-user-picture field--type-image field--label-hidden field--item"> <a href="/user/0" hreflang="und"><img src="/files/styles/thumbnail/public/default_images/icon-user.png?itok=yQw_eG_q" width="100" height="100" alt="User Image" typeof="foaf:Image" class="img-responsive" /> </a> </div> </article> </footer> </article> <article data-comment-user-id="0" id="comment-2210436" class="js-comment comment-wrapper clearfix"> <mark class="hidden" data-comment-timestamp="1282865148"></mark> <div class="well"> <strong></strong> <div class="field field--name-comment-body field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field--item"><p>I read this at RÃV News, but not quite sure of what it means:<br /> "New cracks were found in some of Sprengisandur up, but they are believed to have formed in the spring.

Hood</a> in Oregon - I plan to talk about it more in a few weeks. Why is that? Well, the lead investigator on the study, <a href="http://www.science.oregonstate.edu/~kentad/" target="_blank">Dr. Adam Kent of Oregon State University</a>, is a friend of mine (and occasional <em>Eruptions</em> commenter) so I plan to get the details from him before posting. I was also peripherally associated with some of this work - mostly in the field acting as a pack mule and offering my witty observations. Nevertheless, the <a href="http://www.nsf.gov/news/news_summ.jsp?cntn_id=117434&amp;WT.mc_id=USNSF_58&amp;WT.mc_ev=click" target="_blank">long-and-short is that magma mixing seems to be a strong control</a> on eruptions at <a href="http://www.volcano.si.edu/world/volcano.cfm?vnum=1202-01-" target="_blank">Mt. Hood</a>, where mixing of two different magmas (one felsic, one mafic) can trigger an eruption. This mixing could be only weeks before the eruption, suggesting <a href="http://news.opb.org/article/10304-study-finds-key-past-eruptions-mount-hood/" target="_blank">short time intervals between the trigger of an eruption and the eruption itself</a>. Interestingly, Mt. Hood seems to play by its own rules in this respect relative to what we know about how other Cascade volcanoes behave.</li> <li><a href="http://www.staradvertiser.com/news/hawaiinews/20100803_Lava_flows_pretty_spectacular.html" target="_blank">Lava continues to flow</a> from Kilauea into the area around Kalapana, although it has slowed. Only <a href="http://www.hawaii247.com/2010/08/02/kalapana-lava-update-aug-2/" target="_blank">two breakouts were noted near Kalapana on August 1</a>, suggesting that less lava is flowing. However, lava continues to reach the ocean to the southwest of Kalapana.</li> <li><a href="http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/breakingnews/regions/view/20100803-284686/Taal-volcano-alert-level-down-island-still-off-limitsPhivolcs" target="_blank">PHIVOLCS lowered the alert status</a> at Taal to <a href="http://www.phivolcs.dost.gov.ph/index.php?option=com_content&amp;task=view&amp;id=393&amp;Itemid=1" target="_blank">level one after signs of eruption waned</a>, with only 5 earthquakes over the last 3 weeks.

The first is about research conducted by Dr. Robert Sohn at WHOI on <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/08/science/08obarct.html" target="_blank">explosive undersea eruptions</a>. The second is work by Corr and Vaughan about<a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/21/world/21volcano.html" target="_blank"> finding subglacial volcanism</a> in Antarctica. Both are interesting reads if you missed them (like I did) the first time around.</li> <li>Yesterday I talked about <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/eruptions/2010/07/lava_flows_you_cant_stop_you_c.php" target="_blank">lava flows</a> - and specifically the Kilauea lavas that are in the Kalapana subdivision.

I haven't had a chance to digest it all, but the long-and-short seems to be to think about these eruptions like <a href="http://www.nndb.com/people/341/000023272/donho01.jpg" target="_blank">Don Ho</a> would: "tiny bubbles". The <a href="http://www.agu.org/pubs/crossref/2010/2009JB006917.shtml" target="_blank">original paper</a> was published in the <em>Journal of Geophysical Research</em>.</li> <li>In case you haven't been visiting the NASA Earth Observatory page in a while, they posted <a href="http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/NaturalHazards/view.php?id=44956" target="_blank">an image taken last week of the current activity at Nyiragongo</a> in the DRC. The image shows the sulfur dioxide-rich plume coming from the main summit crater.</li> <li>And there have been <a href="http://www.businessweek.com/ap/financialnews/D9H8720O0.htm" target="_blank">a lot</a> of articles <a href="http://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/business/Airline_Swiss_back_in_black_despite_volcano_chaos.html?cid=18585704" target="_blank">this week</a> with <a href="http://www.businessweek.com/ap/financialnews/D9H2K64G0.htm" target="_blank">airlines reporting the cost</a> of the <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/eruptions/2010/04/eyjafjallajokull_flight_cancel.php" target="_blank">Eyjafjallajökull airspace closures</a>. The reports are all in the <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2010/jul/28/easy-jet-puts-volcano-costs-at-65m" target="_blank">tens of millions of Euros</a>, but across the board, the airlines say ticket sales are back on track.

It is not yet accepted that volcanoes might release the heat currently warming the globe, before the earth will cool back down again. The 60 meter rise of the polar region could possibly be a linked factor, and the melting of methane hydrates might well contribute to the explosivity of undersea volcanoes. There are interesting articles on hydrates on pages 64-67 in Google Popular Science.<br /> Interesting times we live in! Thanks Passerby for the explanation of the deep quakes under Papua New Guinea and the Phillipines. There are so many different parts of the world working in different ways.

From 2002 to 2005, the volcano's magma chamber evidently was filling, says Xu. In quiet periods, seismometers register about 100 small tremors a year around the mountain, he says. In 2003, Changbaishan Tianchi Volcano Observatory recorded 1293 tremors. By 2006, the frequency had receded to background rate, and in the first 6 months of 2010 the station recorded 58 tremors. </p> <p>The mountain rose about 6.8 centimeters in 2003 and 2004, and the ratio of helium-3 to helium-4â"a good indication of magma activity because the source is the mantle," Xu saysânearly doubled during that time. Changbai has been largely quiet since 2005, says Xu, who expects it to kick into another "active phase" again in the next few years. "But that doesn't mean it will erupt," he says. Miyamoto agrees and notes that it is extremely unlikely that the next eruption would rival the millennium eruption.'</p> <p>There will be a 3-way meeting of scientists to 'get to the bottom' of the North Korean's assertions of eminent eruption. The North Korean scientists have limited, non realtime, access to seismic data. That's one of the problems. The other is China's secretive nature over volcano observatory upgrades and operations close to the border. Their specific desire is to limit data access to science use only - a charge that North Korea may not be willing to adhere to. </p> <p>China has magnanimously offered to build a seismic station and integrate observations in North Korea. That offer was declined.</p> <p>First, we need background on this volcano.

The quake on Dec. 26, 2004 was of such magnitude that we cannot build a bomb of the equivilent power. That quake was strong enough to affect the rotation of the earth a tiny bit as in microradians (I could be wrong on that term so Passerby correct me if I am wrong :-)) So the posibility of a bomb large enough to tilt the earth's axis is total nonsense. Movies are just that---movies. Most are just for entertainment and what you saw was for entertainment. As far as I know, there has not been a movie from Hollywood or anyone else that has been accurate about volcanoes. Documentaries are much better, especially when they talk to the people who are in the field of geology. Even then, sometimes there can be a bit of overkill. The best on volcanoes are the videoes and pictures of the real thing. Each eruption has a story to tell about the volcano itself and we learn from them. So don't worry about the earth's axis being thrown off by a bomb.</p> <p>BTW, the earth actually does have a wobble in its axis that takes thousands of years to make a full revolution on that wobble. It is just a natural part of the movement of the earth in rotation and orbit around the sun. The magnetic north pole also changes position. The earth doesn't need us to affect anything it does. We do sometimes out of ignorance such as when we cut too many trees as the clearing in South America and our industry, but the earth moves and quakes on its own.</p> <p>I hope you don't worry about what you saw in that movie. It was just a movie.</p> </div> <drupal-render-placeholder callback="comment.lazy_builders:renderLinks" arguments="0=2209399&amp;1=default&amp;2=en&amp;3=" token="mWhRLdopH1wDAdUWmKnIUG5UE6bz84c_Jv4un3sHtKw"></drupal-render-placeholder> </div> <footer> <em>By <span lang="" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="">Diane N CA (not verified)</span> on 01 Aug 2010 <a href="https://scienceblogs.com/taxonomy/term/19861/feed#comment-2209399">#permalink</a></em> <article typeof="schema:Person" about="/user/0"> <div class="field field--name-user-picture field--type-image field--label-hidden field--item"> <a href="/user/0" hreflang="und"><img src="/files/styles/thumbnail/public/default_images/icon-user.png?itok=yQw_eG_q" width="100" height="100" alt="User Image" typeof="foaf:Image" class="img-responsive" /> </a> </div> </article> </footer> </article> <article data-comment-user-id="0" id="comment-2209400" class="js-comment comment-wrapper clearfix"> <mark class="hidden" data-comment-timestamp="1280660664"></mark> <div class="well"> <strong></strong> <div class="field field--name-comment-body field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field--item"><p>No.</p> <p><b>For the sake of argument</b>, lets say that Earth was whacked by another object... much larger than a standard Mk1 mod-0 asteroid... say, the size of a dwarf planet.

The scar is still manifest on the landscape. Most opinion is that it hit in a shallow sea since most of the Mississippi embayment was... pretty much under water at the time.</p> <p>I grew up in Jackson, and had always heard about there being an extinct volcano down there. Jackson was originally LeFluer's Bluff and was a trading post on the Pearl River. The whole area is hilly, something that was attributed to the old volcano by my peer group. (drunk teenagers) Most likely it was in part due to the really nasty "Yazoo Clay", which has a HUGE volume change as it absorbs water or dries out. Building foundations usually suffer quite a bit from that. In later years, I figured that this clay was from altered rock... but it turns out that it has more to do with whatever critters were living in that ancient sea.</p> <p>So.. while digging around for info in that last post, I ran across this: </p> <p><i>...Monroe and Toler (1937) described both extrusive and intrusive igneous rocks from the Jackson Dome. Harrelson and Bicker (1979), Harrelson (1981) and Saunders and Harrelson (1992) subsequently studied these igneous rocks. Harrelson (1981) interpreted that doming of the Jackson structure was initiated in the Jurassic, based ostensibly on stratigraphic relations. The doming, which was due to plutonism, continued through Early and mid-Cretaceous time until several volcanic vents opened to the surface, causing explosive volcanism. The volcanism continued almost to the end of the Cretaceous (Saunders and Harrelson, 1992). The volcano is capped by the Jackson âGas Rock,â a reef consisting of bryozoans, foraminifera, and corals (Harrelson, 1981). K-Ar geochronology indicates that the igneous rocks of the Jackson Dome range from 79.0 ± 2.9 Ma to 69.2±2.9 Ma, although dates as young as 65.8 ± 2.7 Ma (Cook, 1975) and as old as 91.3 ± 3.4 Ma (Sundeen and Cook, 1977) are reported from other areas of Mississippi. These data indicate that the northern margin of the MISB was an area of intense tectonic activity throughout much of the latter part of the Mesozoic Era...</i></p> <p>"<b>Basin Analysis of the Mississippi Interior Salt Basin and Petroleum System Modeling of the Jurassic Smackover Formation, Eastern Gulf Coastal Plain</b>", Ernest A.

The reason for this is two fold: (1) there is an awful lot of volcanism in the northern Chilean/southern Peruvian Andes (as known as the <a href="http://volcano.oregonstate.edu/oldroot/CVZ/volcindx.html" target="_blank">Central Volcanic Zone</a>) - and has been that way for over 10 million years and (2) it has also been very, very dry in the area (most of which is known as the <a href="http://arjournals.annualreviews.org/doi/abs/10.1146/annurev.earth.25.1.139?cookieSet=1&amp;journalCode=earth" target="_blank">Altiplano-Puna Plateau</a>) for at least a few millions years as well - it is the home of the <a href="http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/0308/feature3/" target="_blank">Atacama Desert</a>! So, this means you get lots of volcanic eruptions that don't have to face the rigors of weathering - so the stunning volcanic landforms are preserved. Let us look at an example of this:</p> <p><strong>Volcano #1: <a href="http://www.volcano.si.edu/world/volcano.cfm?vnum=1202-07-" target="_blank">North Sister</a>, central Oregon Cascades</strong><br /> <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/eruptions/NorthSister.jpg"><img src="http://scienceblogs.com/eruptions/wp-content/blogs.dir/312/files/2012/04/i-1b5cd131b320a9eb2df698b71675eaa0-NorthSister-thumb-400x300-53635.jpg" alt="i-1b5cd131b320a9eb2df698b71675eaa0-NorthSister-thumb-400x300-53635.jpg" /></a><br /> <em>Click on the image to see a larger version.</em></p> <p>Dissected with lava flow and pyroclastic deposit layering along with magmatic dikes exposed. The original flow features are rarely preserved and the volcano's shape is dictated by glacial erosion. In other words: Beat the heck up. </p> <p><strong>Volcano #2: <a href="http://www.volcano.si.edu/world/volcano.cfm?vnum=150505=A" target="_blank">Volcan Aucanquilcha</a>, northern Chilean Andes</strong><br /> <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/eruptions/Aucan.jpg"><img src="http://scienceblogs.com/eruptions/wp-content/blogs.dir/312/files/2012/04/i-e9dd26334215c21e7fba6c1d64a29cb9-Aucan-thumb-400x246-53637.jpg" alt="i-e9dd26334215c21e7fba6c1d64a29cb9-Aucan-thumb-400x246-53637.jpg" /></a><br /> <em>Click on the image to see a larger version.</em></p> <p>I like to trot Aucanquilcha out for many reasons, but here, notice how you can still seem many of the flow features, especially in the middle - with levees and pressure ridges on the dacite flows. Most of the dacite lava flows are preserved with little erosion to expose the innards of the volcano</p> <p>Now, lets guess how old these edifices are. Any ideas?<br /> Well, <a href="http://bulletin.geoscienceworld.org/cgi/content/abstract/121/5-6/643" target="_blank">according to work</a> by <a href="http://www.brocku.ca/mathematics-science/departments-and-centres/earth-sciences/people/mariek-e-schmidt" target="_blank">Mariek Schmidt</a>, the oldest observed lava flows on North Sister are ~400,000 years old, with some volcanic activity as recently as 55,000 years ago - in other words, pretty young, geologically speaking.</p> <p><a href="http://www.springerlink.com/content/an40117441822131/" target="_blank">Aucanquilcha, on the other hand, has been dated by, well, me</a>, and the <em>youngest</em> flows are potentially ~200,000 years old.There are some features that suggest a few younger than that, but something like 90% of the volcano was constructed between 1.05 million and 600,000 years ago, including those lava flows in the center of the image. So, most of Aucanquilcha was built <em>before</em> North Sister was even started - and North Sister looks much older!</p> <p>This is (mostly) all thanks to the very different climates of the Cascades versus the northern Chilean and southern Pervuian Andes. Whereas North Sister has had to survive glaciations, wet climates, vegetation, snow and more, Aucanquilcha has mostly lived in a very dry climate, with some minor snow, very minor evidence of glaciation and little precipitation in the form of rain over its history. So, these gorgeous features are preserved at Aucanquilcha, while at North Sister, we get to examine the insides of the volcano - both equally fascinating things to study.</p> <p>So, why bring this up now? Well, the <a href="http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/IOTD/view.php?id=44713" target="_blank">NASA Earth Observatory posted an image of Sabancaya in the southern Peruvian Andes</a> - and boy, is it dazzling. The lava flows on the volcano look like they might have erupted yesterday, however, a majority of the activity at Sabancaya didn't happen yesterday (shockingly) - the <a href="http://volcano.oregonstate.edu/oldroot/CVZ/sabancaya/index.html" target="_blank">youngest lava flow dated from Sabancaya is ~5,400 years old</a>. However, <a href="http://www.volcano.si.edu/world/volcano.cfm?vnum=1504-006">the volcano</a> did experience almost constant <a href="http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=ArticleURL&amp;_udi=B6V6V-4894RFN-9W&amp;_user=10&amp;_coverDate=10%2F31%2F1992&amp;_rdoc=1&amp;_fmt=high&amp;_orig=search&amp;_sort=d&amp;_docanchor=&amp;view=c&amp;_searchStrId=1411206883&amp;_rerunOrigin=scholar.google&amp;_acct=C000050221&amp;_version=1&amp;_urlVersion=0&amp;_userid=10&amp;md5=e7c59432eee0560a9fe3695ef5807a4f" target="_blank">explosive eruptions</a> between <a href="http://www.volcano.si.edu/world/volcano.cfm?vnum=1504-006&amp;volpage=erupt" target="_blank">1990 and 1998 - with small explosions as recently as 2003</a> - all <a href="http://www.springerlink.com/content/9mlg52xetk2g2eeq/" target="_blank">vulcanian and phreatomagmatic</a> (if you can believe that in the high Andes). The name of the volcano does mean "tongue of fire" in Quechua, which implies that the natives around the volcano had experienced eruptions as well. The lava flows that make up most of the edifice do appear to by Holocene or older, but again, the climate of this area of the Andes has preserved them stunningly, with very obvious levees on the sides of the flow - especially noticeable on the lava on the top center (labeled "lava flow") and pressure ridges on top of the flow - see the flows directly to the right of the summit. These sorts of images make me pine for the Andes and the ability to see volcanoes preserved like this, although the rarified air of the Altiplano might make up for the lack of thickets.</p> </div>

I'll latch onto the linguistic aspect of volcano names: The native name for Sabancaya Volcano, translated as "tongue of fire" coupled with the visual appearance and the photographic evidence of thick dacite lava flows, possibly hundreds of metres thick (recalling your previous topic on such flows), would suggest the natives actually saw such a flow, hence the "toungue of fire" (coming out of the mouth of the volcano). Do you know if there has been any research of (native) names for volcanoes from a linguistic point of view? </p> <p>I would expect the first ojection to such an interpretation to be that the flows are much too old to have been seen and be remembered by humans. Against that I would put forward suggestions made that our legends of giants, trolls and dragons etc have foundations in reality: Giants - (Homo) Gigantopitheucs c 1,000,000 - 300,000BP up to 3m tall and 500+ kg (1000+ lb). Trolls - Homo Sapiens Neanderthalensis, troglodytes extinct c.30,000 BP. Dragons - the dinosaur bone field intersected by an ancient Bedouin trade route through the Sahara, the stories therof brought to us by merchants.</p> <p>If there is a connection between the native name and the dacite flows, the implications thereof are very interesting no matter which explanation you prefer.</p> </div> <drupal-render-placeholder callback="comment.lazy_builders:renderLinks" arguments="0=2209242&amp;1=default&amp;2=en&amp;3=" token="RWPKo7x4f-_c3fOynyySYLJzAQACoAtgpLTPXVi7Ow8"></drupal-render-placeholder> </div> <footer> <em>By <span lang="" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="">Henrik, Swe (not verified)</span> on 26 Jul 2010 <a href="https://scienceblogs.com/taxonomy/term/19861/feed#comment-2209242">#permalink</a></em> <article typeof="schema:Person" about="/user/0"> <div class="field field--name-user-picture field--type-image field--label-hidden field--item"> <a href="/user/0" hreflang="und"><img src="/files/styles/thumbnail/public/default_images/icon-user.png?itok=yQw_eG_q" width="100" height="100" alt="User Image" typeof="foaf:Image" class="img-responsive" /> </a> </div> </article> </footer> </article> <article data-comment-user-id="0" id="comment-2209243" class="js-comment comment-wrapper clearfix"> <mark class="hidden" data-comment-timestamp="1280128453"></mark> <div class="well"> <strong></strong> <div class="field field--name-comment-body field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field--item"><p>Henrik: I've thought of a couple of other examples (not from the Andes, though</p> <p>There's the "other Merapi" in Java -part of the Ijen complex<br /> Merapi means fire/fiery red, obvious for the famous active one...but the 'other' Merapi has no historic eruptions.

And the pictures do speak for themselves. </p> <p>As for the recent quake activity, a lot of energy was released in a lot of areas. The Alutians have the Pacific plate diving under them and there was a lot of energy released there as well as the Phillipines. My guess is the energy release from the subduction in the Phillipines was more than the Alaskan quakes. The scale is logrithmic and each magnitude from 1 on up is 31 times stronger than the before it. In other words, a mag of 2 is 31 times stronger than a mag 1.

First the basic rigid coating soft substrate (RCSS) concept makes sense intuitively and places the focus on deeper convection currents in the asthenosphere. As I understand it, the lithosphere is merely along for the ride. That said, the whole hypothesis is based upon compressive deformation of a coupled lithosphere/upper mantle complex (i.e. slab) as it ploughs into the transition zone between upper mantle and lower mantle. If this is right, the observed pattern in the frequency of deep quakes at intervals of 50 km would be evidence that the transition zone must indeed mark a hard boundary forming one end of the deformation of the lithosphere with subduction at the surface marking the other, with the crumpling taking a sinusoidal shape determined by (if I understood correctly) the thickness and relative strength of the lithosphere.</p> <p>What really surprises me is the depth distribution charts they derived from NEIC data (Fig 5) with pronounced spikes at these 50 km intervals. That data looks too good to be true and I wonder why nobody ever commented on it before. If Lurking or any other whizz at plotting this stuff is perhaps interested I'd like to see if the USGS data corroborates this pattern. (y axis: frequency of deep quakes, x axis depth for the period 1973 to 2009 or similar).</p> <p>Definitely very interesting stuff!</p> </div> <drupal-render-placeholder callback="comment.lazy_builders:renderLinks" arguments="0=2209258&amp;1=default&amp;2=en&amp;3=" token="DwnkPBAWAJ_8MYoR4U0CHecvXWHkd2NfY-gowAeXq8o"></drupal-render-placeholder> </div> <footer> <em>By <span lang="" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="">bruce stout (not verified)</span> on 26 Jul 2010 <a href="https://scienceblogs.com/taxonomy/term/19861/feed#comment-2209258">#permalink</a></em> <article typeof="schema:Person" about="/user/0"> <div class="field field--name-user-picture field--type-image field--label-hidden field--item"> <a href="/user/0" hreflang="und"><img src="/files/styles/thumbnail/public/default_images/icon-user.png?itok=yQw_eG_q" width="100" height="100" alt="User Image" typeof="foaf:Image" class="img-responsive" /> </a> </div> </article> </footer> </article> <article data-comment-user-id="0" id="comment-2209259" class="js-comment comment-wrapper clearfix"> <mark class="hidden" data-comment-timestamp="1280159196"></mark> <div class="well"> <strong></strong> <div class="field field--name-comment-body field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field--item"><p>18 &amp; 21 - I noticed that Turrialba plume has been well defined over the last few days.

Not only does this Nature article support our Russkie model and our plotted data of Philippine EQs (USGS dataset) with actual report of a slab discovered located at deep depth, the study results affords the same characteristic folded length, lambda, value of 200 km.</p> <p>The folded length of the slab is also equal to the depth of D Region, the bottom of the mantle, which is characterized by a change in crystalline phase change of the folded slab. (There is a world of science in that last sentence, too much detail to go into here.)</p> <p>This news brief and similar graphic in the Nature letter-article provide an excellent graphic of their finding, so you know what we are on about when we talk about characteristic folded length.</p> <p>The news brief describing the Nature paper:<br /> Giant Slab of Earth's Crust Found Near Core.<br /> Live Science May 2006<br /> <a href="http://www.livescience.com/environment/060517_inside_earth.html">www.livescience.com/environment/060517_inside_earth.html</a></p> <p>LiveScience's graphic for their news article<br /> <a href="http://www.livescience.com/php/multimedia/imagedisplay/img_display.php?pic=060517_fold_big_02.jpg">www.livescience.com/php/multimedia/imagedisplay/img_display.php?pic=060…</a></p> <p>The letter-article in the journal, Nature May 2006:</p> <p>Seismic detection of folded, subducted lithosphere at the coreâmantle boundary.

I've pretty much accepted that... and saw it as an augmentation of the Maunder and Dalton minimums of the time. Never really had a way to find out one way or the other. </p> <p>I ran across the Large Holocene Eruption list over at <a href="http://www.volcano.si.edu">www.volcano.si.edu</a> a few weeks ago, and grumbled at how hard it was to make use of the data other than looking at the columns and reading about the events.</p> <p>What I have done, is to force the data into a usable form. REMEMBER, that a lot of the volcanic data is from various sources and have date accuracies of up to hundreds of years... the intensity of the eruptions is also prone to wide inaccuracies...and to make it worse, where there was just a Plinian or Caldera forming event noted, it didn't make it into the plot.

Problem is that nobody will give any extensions anylonger, or for that matter, give new credits. So it is time to actually try to get the economy to get into ballance, but the likelyhood of that is slim to say the least.<br /> But it is not as large a problem for the world economy any longer since the US ecnomy is falling in importance.

Right now, in another thread, a similar discussion is taking place on correlations between tectonism and volcanism in the Pacific microplates, maybe it would be interesting if you take a look there, although mechanisms involving Nazca plate subducting under S. America are far easier explained.<br /> We have the example of Puyehue-Cordon Caulle back in the 60s that erupted just after the big Chilean EQ, as well as other volcanoes. So I think (but I'm no expert) that there may be a "help" from an earthquake, if the volcanoes are close to an eruption. But this is still a very debatable matter.<br /> You came to the right place: Dr. Klementii has worked in Chile and is very well acquainted to Chilean volcanism.<br /> I must confess, that, in a way, Chilean volcanoes are "my" volcanoes, since in Brazil we have none, so the subject is of most interest to me (I saw Villarica erupting back in 72).

Sanford (in the upper left of the HAARP image). Sanford is part of the Wrangell volcanic belt in eastern Alaska a few hundred km northeast of Anchorage. It is a large, hulking shield volcano apparently made mostly of andesite and dacite - similar to those of the stratovolcanoes in the Aleutians or the Cascades despite its shield morphology. On the right horizon is Mt. Wrangell, yet another unusual andesitic shield.</p> </div> <drupal-render-placeholder callback="comment.lazy_builders:renderLinks" arguments="0=2206561&amp;1=default&amp;2=en&amp;3=" token="NTqFiJIXrlPVW3BMDb1EoTZcX48pVN5KWkWDo99HgpQ"></drupal-render-placeholder> </div> <footer> <em>By <span lang="" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="">MK, Alberta (not verified)</span> on 09 Jun 2010 <a href="https://scienceblogs.com/taxonomy/term/19861/feed#comment-2206561">#permalink</a></em> <article typeof="schema:Person" about="/user/0"> <div class="field field--name-user-picture field--type-image field--label-hidden field--item"> <a href="/user/0" hreflang="und"><img src="/files/styles/thumbnail/public/default_images/icon-user.png?itok=yQw_eG_q" width="100" height="100" alt="User Image" typeof="foaf:Image" class="img-responsive" /> </a> </div> </article> </footer> </article> <article data-comment-user-id="0" id="comment-2206562" class="js-comment comment-wrapper clearfix"> <mark class="hidden" data-comment-timestamp="1276126064"></mark> <div class="well"> <strong></strong> <div class="field field--name-comment-body field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field--item"><p>MAP 6.0 2010/06/09 23:23:19 -18.586 169.471 17.8 VANUATU<br /> I am no expert, but i have noticed that when there is a large earthquake in Vanuatu there is a large one on the west coast.. so this i a test and a log so we all can see if there is a conection..

Here are two more images for those of you who love seeing volcanoes from above:</p> <p><strong>Cleveland, Alaska</strong><br /> As I mentioned earlier this week, Cleveland volcano likely had a small eruption over the weekend producing a small ash cloud. Cleveland is already known as an extremely picturesque volcano, both from <a href="http://volcano.oregonstate.edu/vwdocs/volc_images/north_america/alaska/Cleveland.jpg">the ground</a> for its highly conical shape - a textbook andesitic stratocone - and <a href="http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/multimedia/cleveland_volcano.html">from space</a>. This <a href="http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/NaturalHazards/view.php?id=44179">new June 1 image</a> is from almost directly over the volcano, showing the radial symmetry of the volcano formed by lava and debris flows cascading down the slopes of the volcano. A few new debris flows are observed on the east side of the edifice and a weak grey plume is seen drifting off the southwest with ash fall showing that the plume must have been bigger at some point over the weekend.</p> <p><strong>Nyiragongo, Dem. Republic of the Congo</strong><br /> On the other side of the planet, Nyiragongo - an alkalic shield volcano that erupts basalts - was <a href="http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/NaturalHazards/view.php?id=44157">captured on May 28</a> with a white, wispy plume coming from the crater pit. The crater area is a series of collapse craters that periodically fill with lava, sometimes spilling over and sending lava flows down the flanks of the volcano. You can see some younger lava flows on the northwest flanks of the volcano and just above the Shaheru Crater, a flank vent on the edifice. The rapid vegetation growth and weathering hide lava flows from view quickly, unlike <a href="http://volcano.oregonstate.edu/oldroot/CVZ/azufre/index.html">volcanoes in the high Andes of Chile</a> which can preserve lava flows in "showroom" conditions for thousands (to millions?) of years.</p> <p>Both of these images remind us how satellite images have vastly improved our ability to monitor remote volcanoes all around the world - and how quickly we can share that information worldwide.</p> </div> <span><a title="View user profile." href="/author/eklemetti" lang=""

volcanic ash has been unveiled by budget airline easyJet. </p> <p>The carrier will be the first airline to trial a new "weather radar for ash" system called AVOID (Airborne Volcanic Object Identifier

pilots to see an ash cloud up to 62 miles ahead of the aircraft and at altitudes between 5,000ft and 50,000ft.</p> <p>This will allow pilots to make adjustments to the plane's flight path to avoid any

There have been no deep quakes, and no displacement on the GPS recorders.</p> <p>Gunnar says it's possible that the black plume comes from the thick deposits around the crater being tossed up by the explosions.

Randolph Kruger just let us in on a <a href="http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/VAAC/BEZY/ELLR/ellrloop.html" target="_blank">significant eruption at Bezymianny</a> in Kamchatka. The AVO/KVERT alert for the volcano suggests a fairly significant explosive eruption that might cause some snarls in the international air travel over the Kamchatka Peninsula. The <a href="http://www.avo.alaska.edu/activity/print_report.php?output=screen&amp;id=531&amp;type=kaminfo" target="_blank">KVERT statement</a>:</p> <blockquote><p>A strong explosive eruption of Bezymianny volcano occurred from 12:34 till 12:50 UTC on May 31, according to seismic data. Ash fall in Kozyrevsk village is continuing. The volcano obscured by clouds. A big ash cloud remains over Kamchatka at present (NOAA-15, 17:52 UTC on May 31, last satellite): coordinates on the south - 56.04 N; the north - 56.94 N; the east - 161.05 E; and all Kamchatka to the west. The activity of the volcano could affect international and low-flying aircraft.</p></blockquote> <p>You can check out the <a href="http://data.emsd.iks.ru/videokzy/videokzy.htm" target="_blank">Bezymianny webcam</a> and maybe catch a glimpse of the action when the seeing is good - just last year many of the main Kamchatka volcanoes were outfitted with webcams. <a href="http://www.volcano.si.edu/world/volcano.cfm?vnum=1000-25=" target="_blank">Bezymianny</a> is no stranger to explosive eruptions. The volcano has experienced VEI 2-3 eruptions almost every year for the <a href="http://www.volcano.si.edu/world/volcano.cfm?vnum=1000-25=&amp;volpage=erupt" target="_blank">last 20 years</a>, so this type of event would fit in with that pattern.

There, buried under a meter of the surface, below the last avalanche volcanic (lahar), lay the remains of the trunk of a tree four centuries ago was mute testimony to an eruption as violent as today, according to experts.<br /> And as if that were not enough, an illustrative map of a nautical chart or "road map" of 1669, built by Jesuit missionaries settled in Castro, shows a volcano Chaitén, possibly confused with Michimahuida-in full and vigorous process of eruption, with fire and ash erupt violently from its crater.<br /> Two years of the current eruption, that was the surprising conclusion of a geological and historical research conducted by the head of Volcanic Risk Program of the National Service of Geology and Mining (Sernageomin), Luis Lara, and historian of the U. Adolfo Ibáñez, Rodrigo Moreno.<br /> The previous eruption also allowed to conclude that the volcano Chaitén is much more dangerous and active than previously thought. And demolished, forever, previous studies of the scientific world dating makes nine thousand years the penultimate eruptive activity of Nevado.<br /> The ... Carbon 14 dating organic debris to the trunk of a tree, found under tons of ash, showed scientifically that their data was for 320 years, with a margin of error of 40 years. A second test in other volcanic sediments contained fragments confirmed the same result.<br /> (...)<br /> "We know well how was the eruption, although it was probably similar to the present, for the amount of sediment and volcanic material deposited in the same place where the city is now," said Lara.<br /> The new data to Chaitén allowed to include in the list of 15 most dangerous and active volcanoes in the country.<br /> The specialist said that the Chaitén volcano remains active, but is less vigorous than when he started, on January 2, 2008. His continuing ash and lava dome forming a dangerous or mound in the crater. The biggest danger remains the dome collapse, resulting proclastic wave to the White River which crosses the buried city.<br /> The decrease in ejected volcanic material suggesting a progressive decline of the eruptive cycle.<br /> "It is difficult to estimate how much can be extended, but it could take months. It is important to note that this type of volcano can have periods of rest to those who are new eruptive pulses, all of this, the scale of some years, "concludes the volcanologist.</p> </div>

But at Vesuvius, the arcuate crest is a caldera rim, and within the caldera stands a young stratovolcano that consists of both lava flows (of basaltic composition) and pyroclastics. In contrast, the young structure at Bezymianny is an andesitic lava dome standing within a collapse depression, which formed in 1956 when the older cone collapsed and exploded horizontally, in a manner identical to Mount St. Helens on 18 May 1980.</p> <p>Hope this is helpful!</p> <p>@Dario #34, you're always welcome at Etna !!!</p> </div> <drupal-render-placeholder callback="comment.lazy_builders:renderLinks" arguments="0=2205974&amp;1=default&amp;2=en&amp;3=" token="W_O6ffvvgZrFhFhY9_IMATyo-yPkRzs0w2DIou_8EQY"></drupal-render-placeholder> </div> <footer> <em>By <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.ct.ingv.it" lang="" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="" content="Boris Behncke, Catania, Italy">Boris Behncke,… (not verified)</a> on 01 Jun 2010 <a href="https://scienceblogs.com/taxonomy/term/19861/feed#comment-2205974">#permalink</a></em> <article typeof="schema:Person" about="/user/0"> <div class="field field--name-user-picture field--type-image field--label-hidden field--item"> <a href="/user/0" hreflang="und"><img src="/files/styles/thumbnail/public/default_images/icon-user.png?itok=yQw_eG_q" width="100" height="100" alt="User Image" typeof="foaf:Image" class="img-responsive" /> </a> </div> </article> </footer> </article> <article data-comment-user-id="0" id="comment-2205975" class="js-comment comment-wrapper clearfix"> <mark class="hidden" data-comment-timestamp="1275384049"></mark> <div class="well"> <strong></strong> <div class="field field--name-comment-body field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field--item"><p>@Boris: I know this problem.

Unrest at Cleveland is frequent, and short-lived explosions with ash clouds or plumes that could exceed 20,000 ft above sea level can occur without warning and may go undetected on satellite imagery.</p> </div> <drupal-render-placeholder callback="comment.lazy_builders:renderLinks" arguments="0=2205984&amp;1=default&amp;2=en&amp;3=" token="oKN31XDehlBUYcFfPKXDSOu_bbd1ogBvDTWWhfKdg8w"></drupal-render-placeholder> </div> <footer> <em>By <span lang="" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="">Passerby (not verified)</span> on 01 Jun 2010 <a href="https://scienceblogs.com/taxonomy/term/19861/feed#comment-2205984">#permalink</a></em> <article typeof="schema:Person" about="/user/0"> <div class="field field--name-user-picture field--type-image field--label-hidden field--item"> <a href="/user/0" hreflang="und"><img src="/files/styles/thumbnail/public/default_images/icon-user.png?itok=yQw_eG_q" width="100" height="100" alt="User Image" typeof="foaf:Image" class="img-responsive" /> </a> </div> </article> </footer> </article> <article data-comment-user-id="0" id="comment-2205985" class="js-comment comment-wrapper clearfix"> <mark class="hidden" data-comment-timestamp="1275392403"></mark> <div class="well"> <strong></strong> <div class="field field--name-comment-body field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field--item"><p>hmm- OT but intersting - weather forecast for vacation spot - <a href="http://www.capecodonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20100601/NEWS/6010327/-1/NEWS">http://www.capecodonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20100601/NEWS/6…</a> There's more than one kind of smoke hazard in the air it seems.</p> </div> <drupal-render-placeholder callback="comment.lazy_builders:renderLinks" arguments="0=2205985&amp;1=default&amp;2=en&amp;3=" token="hNiraqKPQWSfXgwnwYT70i2O0fcmwpEhpxt1_8Q73cg"></drupal-render-placeholder> </div> <footer> <em>By <span lang="" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="">birdseyeUSA (not verified)</span> on 01 Jun 2010 <a href="https://scienceblogs.com/taxonomy/term/19861/feed#comment-2205985">#permalink</a></em> <article typeof="schema:Person" about="/user/0"> <div class="field field--name-user-picture field--type-image field--label-hidden field--item"> <a href="/user/0" hreflang="und"><img src="/files/styles/thumbnail/public/default_images/icon-user.png?itok=yQw_eG_q" width="100" height="100" alt="User Image" typeof="foaf:Image" class="img-responsive" /> </a> </div> </article> </footer> </article> <article data-comment-user-id="0" id="comment-2205986" class="js-comment comment-wrapper clearfix"> <mark class="hidden" data-comment-timestamp="1275392492"></mark> <div class="well"> <strong></strong> <div class="field field--name-comment-body field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field--item"><p>@Dennis: Under video you have the point compression.

I just want to say a bit about the Cascades, especially Lassen, since I know more about it, sort of. I have been on top twice and it is a great climb. Anyway, Lassen is dacitic. It is interesting that on the top, there is some very dark rock up there and I thought it was basalt, but I was way too tired to go exploring. It could have been andecite, but, I just don't know at this point. It is not that far from the lava fields at Tule Lake and those are basaltic. It is thought that the flow came from Medicine Lake rather than Lassen or Shasta. Since I like Lassen so much, I probably should study it more. I know that there was an article that stated that Broke-Off was NW of Lassen and it is actually SW because the trail is just about a couple of block before the south entrance to Lassen Park.</p> <p>One of the things I learned when I was there the second time was the ranger's talk. Lassen and Broke-Off came up after Mt Tehema blew and colapsed. It was in the order of Mt Mazama, and Shasta. Actually Shasta was less in elevation that the other two. I think some of the Cascades were very high at one time, but eruptions over time and erosion have taken them down.</p> <p>Well, I could be wrong about some of this, but somehow, I just love the Lassen area and the mountain itself, probably because I have been on top. Lassen, btw, is the last mountain of the Cascades. Then you get into the Sierras and there is past volcanism there, too. Mostly ryolitic.</p> <p>There is a cinder cone right by I5 near Shasta that has red cinders and that lava had a lot of gas in it. The stuff looks almost like pumice, but it is heavy and will not float like pumice does.</p> </div> <drupal-render-placeholder callback="comment.lazy_builders:renderLinks" arguments="0=2205990&amp;1=default&amp;2=en&amp;3=" token="cPmrkRJjbflCgonGZTkyveC3_EsH04vjJLr8Dr1lwic"></drupal-render-placeholder> </div> <footer> <em>By <span lang="" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="">Diane N CA (not verified)</span> on 01 Jun 2010 <a href="https://scienceblogs.com/taxonomy/term/19861/feed#comment-2205990">#permalink</a></em> <article typeof="schema:Person" about="/user/0"> <div class="field field--name-user-picture field--type-image field--label-hidden field--item"> <a href="/user/0" hreflang="und"><img src="/files/styles/thumbnail/public/default_images/icon-user.png?itok=yQw_eG_q" width="100" height="100" alt="User Image" typeof="foaf:Image" class="img-responsive" /> </a> </div> </article> </footer> </article> <article data-comment-user-id="0" id="comment-2205991" class="js-comment comment-wrapper clearfix"> <mark class="hidden" data-comment-timestamp="1275397381"></mark> <div class="well"> <strong></strong> <div class="field field--name-comment-body field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field--item"><p>Not too shabby, Diane.

The Reykjanes Peninsula has been quiet for a while now - I have a friend currently working on Svinahraun (the so-called 'Christianity Lavas') which are about 1000 years old, and I think the last active subaerial volcanism in the area was in the 13th century or so.</p> <p>It should be noted that although the area is drifting away from the hot spot, and activity is declining (over a geological time scale), it is not dead. The Reykjanes Ridge is still very much active, being a continuation of the present Mid-Atlantic Ridge (it's thought that this section of the plate boundary may currently be jumping eastwards, down through Vestmannaeyjar, to follow the line of the Eastern Volcanic Zone).</p> <p>Also I know there was at least one quite major intrusion event here in the 20th century (the exact date escapes me right now) and people within the Department of Earth Sciences here at the University of Iceland believe there will still be eruptions on the Reykjanes Peninsula in the future.</p> </div> <drupal-render-placeholder callback="comment.lazy_builders:renderLinks" arguments="0=2206000&amp;1=default&amp;2=en&amp;3=" token="nUcUGiVIu8kBiNKJPcrBN0fU1O6JzBHlctw67M5HLTs"></drupal-render-placeholder> </div> <footer> <em>By <span lang="" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="">James (not verified)</span> on 03 Jun 2010 <a href="https://scienceblogs.com/taxonomy/term/19861/feed#comment-2206000">#permalink</a></em> <article typeof="schema:Person" about="/user/0"> <div class="field field--name-user-picture field--type-image field--label-hidden field--item"> <a href="/user/0" hreflang="und"><img src="/files/styles/thumbnail/public/default_images/icon-user.png?itok=yQw_eG_q" width="100" height="100" alt="User Image" typeof="foaf:Image" class="img-responsive" /> </a> </div> </article> </footer> </article> </section> <ul class="links inline list-inline"><li class="comment-forbidden"><a href="/user/login?destination=/eruptions/2010/05/31/large-eruption-at-bezymianny%23comment-form">Log in</a> to post comments</li></ul> Mon, 31 May 2010 20:31:23 +0000 eklemetti 104289 at https://scienceblogs.com Wednesday Whatzits: Cleveland heats up, blowing ash from Eyjafjallajökull and 10,000 days of eruption in Hawai`i https://scienceblogs.com/eruptions/2010/05/26/wednesday-whatzits-cleveland-h <span>Wednesday Whatzits: Cleveland heats up, blowing ash from Eyjafjallajökull and 10,000 days of eruption in Hawai`i</span> <div class="field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field--item"><p>Brief news!</p> <p><img src="http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov/kilauea/update/archive/2009/Nov/20100521_5763_L.jpg" width="400" /><br /> <em>Lava flows reaching the sea at Kilauea in Hawai`i.

The <a href="http://www.avo.alaska.edu/activity/report_getter.php?need=current&amp;id=5911&amp;type=3" target="_blank">latest report</a> from AVO on the volcano says a thermal anomaly has been spotted at the summit, which typically is one of the first signs that the volcano is entering an eruption period. However, there is no real-time seismic monitoring for Cleveland, so that is the only clue (right now) that AVO has. <a href="http://www.volcano.si.edu/world/volcano.cfm?vnum=1101-24-" target="_blank">Cleveland</a> is a relatively noisy volcano along the Aleutian chain and produces <a href="http://www.volcano.si.edu/world/volcano.cfm?vnum=1101-24-&amp;volpage=erupt" target="_blank">frequent explosive eruptions</a> with plumes upwards of 6 km (20,000 feet), most recently in October of 2009.</li> <li>With the <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/eruptions/2010/05/the_eyjafjallajokull_eruption.php" target="_blank">declining activity at Eyjafjallajökull</a>, the new hazard that Icelanders have to content with is the <a href="http://www.icenews.is/index.php/2010/05/26/dry-weather-brings-blown-ash-in-south-iceland-despite-dormant-volcano/" target="_blank">blowing ash deposited earlier in the eruption</a>. The weather on the island nation has become dry and breezy, meaning ash is easily remobilized by the wind, causing problems with visibility and acting as an inhalation hazard. Small bursts of ash are still occurring at the vent according to <a href="http://en.vedur.is/media/jar/Eyjafjallajokull_status_2010-05-25_IES_IMO.pdf" target="_blank">the latest Icelandic Met Office report</a>, but most of the activity at the volcano is limited to a steam plume rising to ~2 km / 6,000 feet and degassing of sulfur-rich volatiles.</li> <li>I did miss to mark the fact that earlier this month the eruption at <a href="http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov/" target="_blank">Kilauea in Hawai`i</a> reached its <a href="http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5ibxn8CQ25629g75dzfM3EVtC_mogD9FRFCR81" target="_blank">10,000th day</a>.

The Instituto GeofÃsico of Ecuador (IGEPN), in a special report (<a href="http://www.igepn.edu.ec/VOLCANES">www.igepn.edu.ec/VOLCANES</a>\COTOPAXI\ACTIVIDAD\2010\BoletÃn Especial Cotopaxi 25 mayo 2010.pdf), underlines that the fumarolic activity is normal and not an indicator of increased volcanism or an imminent eruption. Let's hope they're right because a new eruption at that volcano would not be a happy thing.</p> <p>Then, today (26 May 2010), Tungurahua (also in Ecuador) ended a very quiet period of several months with a powerful explosion that generated small pyroclastic flows and an eruption plume 7 km tall.

However there is a interesting spike at snb (SnæbÃli) station. That might be a dike intrusion in Katla that took place yesterday I think given the time scale of those plots that IMO has. This might also be some other type of volcano related noise that I cannot explain in details. There also appears to be a lot of earthquakes that are only recorded on snb station (maybe two or three other stations, but might be low quality), and do not show up on the map for that reason. Earthquakes appear as spikes on IMO tremor plots.</p> <p>Before Katla starts spewing ash and making glacier floods we are going to see a lot of earthquakes inside the caldera of Katla. That might last for up to ~2 hours or longer before the eruption starts. Until then I am easy on what I see on the IMO plots.</p> </div> <drupal-render-placeholder callback="comment.lazy_builders:renderLinks" arguments="0=2205369&amp;1=default&amp;2=en&amp;3=" token="3hoapU85XHSPauE49iuXd3JVFmyALAc43_WuNEZYmSE"></drupal-render-placeholder> </div> <footer> <em>By <a rel="nofollow" href="http://earthquakes.jonfr.com" lang="" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="">Jón FrÃmann (not verified)</a> on 26 May 2010 <a href="https://scienceblogs.com/taxonomy/term/19861/feed#comment-2205369">#permalink</a></em> <article typeof="schema:Person" about="/user/0"> <div class="field field--name-user-picture field--type-image field--label-hidden field--item"> <a href="/user/0" hreflang="und"><img src="/files/styles/thumbnail/public/default_images/icon-user.png?itok=yQw_eG_q" width="100" height="100" alt="User Image" typeof="foaf:Image" class="img-responsive" /> </a> </div> </article> </footer> </article> <article data-comment-user-id="0" id="comment-2205370" class="js-comment comment-wrapper clearfix"> <mark class="hidden" data-comment-timestamp="1274924554"></mark> <div class="well"> <strong></strong> <div class="field field--name-comment-body field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field--item"><p>Hi all!

Great Job. It remindes me of a display they used to have at Knott's Berry Farm not far from Disney Land in S CA. It was of a little red devil making the noise and eruption of a volcano. As kids, we all wanted to gather at that spot and just watch what he was doing. Really cute display. And it had sound to it, too.</p> <p>Jen, if I could get hold of the seizmologist I was communicating with for a short time, I would be able to find out if the quakes there just north of Mammoth Lakes are techtonic or magmatic. My guess right now is techtonic. I must admit I don't remember seeing a swarm in that area before, but, then, I have been watching the quake maps of CA since I got online and I had Win95 then. I it has been about 17yrs or something like that. I am not exactly sure. LOL It is an interesting swarm and depending on where it is exactly, it could be right under one of the Mono Craters. That area is ridded with craters and domes as George has pointed out. If you have Google Earth, I bet they would look really cool. They did on the MS program that the local TV has for interactive weather. You can really see the chain of craters. I wish I could fly over them to really see what it looks like in person.</p> </div> <drupal-render-placeholder callback="comment.lazy_builders:renderLinks" arguments="0=2205397&amp;1=default&amp;2=en&amp;3=" token="3J4BYYk7HFyE7QJEkM1mrCL10VBjQiFe88XeRg2BDV4"></drupal-render-placeholder> </div> <footer> <em>By <span lang="" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="">Diane N CA (not verified)</span> on 27 May 2010 <a href="https://scienceblogs.com/taxonomy/term/19861/feed#comment-2205397">#permalink</a></em> <article typeof="schema:Person" about="/user/0"> <div class="field field--name-user-picture field--type-image field--label-hidden field--item"> <a href="/user/0" hreflang="und"><img src="/files/styles/thumbnail/public/default_images/icon-user.png?itok=yQw_eG_q" width="100" height="100" alt="User Image" typeof="foaf:Image" class="img-responsive" /> </a> </div> </article> </footer> </article> <article data-comment-user-id="0" id="comment-2205398" class="js-comment comment-wrapper clearfix"> <mark class="hidden" data-comment-timestamp="1274957820"></mark> <div class="well"> <strong></strong> <div class="field field--name-comment-body field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field--item"><p>Bonjour à tous, hello all,</p> <p>I am a French woman.

Worth a skim read</p> <p>Mountain Baekdu, a dormant volcano on the border between North Korea and China, is showing signs of a possible eruption in the near future, experts warned Tuesday. "Baekdu could erupt anytime soon," said geologist Yoon Sung-hyo at Pusan National University, who has monitored the nation's highest mountain (2,744 meters) for any changes. "A variety of indicators are backing this scenario. The thing we should try to predict is when. It's clear it's imminent." The geologist cautiously raised speculation that an eruption could take place in a couple of years. According to historical records, Baekdu was an active volcano. Major activity in the 1960s created a caldera on its peak, whose circumference is nearly 14 kilometers with an average depth of 213 meters and maximum of 384 meters. Volcanic ash from this eruption has been found as far away as the southern part of Hokkaido, Japan, according to records. Small-scale eruptions were recorded roughly on a centurial basis - in 1413, 1597, 1668 and 1702. The latest volcanic eruption recorded at the 2,744-meter mountain was back in 1903. The mountain has stayed inactive since then, leaving it categorized by scientists as dormant.</p> <p>The Chinese government developed the mountain and surrounding areas as a tourist destination drawing tens of thousands of visitors from around the world each year - many of them from South Korea. Yet, "unusual signs," including minor trembling among others, began to emerge in June 2002 and a 7.3-magnitude earthquake rattled areas in the vicinity of Baekdu, according to geologists. The frequency of the quakes has notably increased since then. "It seems that a shockwave from the quake reactivated magma approximately 30 kilometers beneath the mountain," said Prof. Hong Tae-kyung at Yonsei University's department of earth system sciences in Seoul. "The more frequent these are, the higher the possibility of an eruption." According to a recent TV program based on interviews with officials at a Chinese institute monitoring volcanic activity at Baekdu, minor quakes which are too weak to be felt by human beings take place nearly 100 times per day. "We saw the number steeply increase in recent years," the program quoted an official as saying. The program showed crumbled stone steps leading toward the top of a scenic waterfall at the heart of the mountain, explaining they recently fell apart due to frequent trembling in the region. Among other indicators backing the scenario of a future eruption is the height of Baekdu, which has grown nearly 10 centimeters since 2002. Experts say bloated magma, a precondition of eruption, is gradually pushing up the height of the mountain as well as the temperature on the surface. On October 1, 2006, a Russian satellite found the surface temperature of the mountain notably higher than before. The finding came just days after North Korea conducted an underground nuclear bomb test in its northern region, indicating the test was a catalyst reactivating the magma, analysts said.</p> <p>The increase in the number of withered evergreen trees on the mountain may be another indicator. "It was confirmed that pollutants from the surrounding areas are not to blame. If so, toxic gases spewing from the volcano could be a possible culprit," Yoon said. If the eruption is major in scale, it would bring about massive consequences to the two Koreas as well as the surrounding states, including China, Japan and Russia. "The amount of volcanic ash from the most violent eruption nearly 1,000 years ago was enough to cover the entire the Korean peninsula to a height of 1.2 meters," he said, citing scientific studies. "Baekdu's caldera contains nearly two billion tons of water. If it evaporates into the air all of a sudden mixed with volcanic ash of a major eruption, it would be blown to the east and consequently engulf Vladivostok in Russia and Hokkaido in northern Japan."</p> <p>Baekdu Mountain is stratovolcano whose cone is truncated by a large caldera, about 5 km (3.1 miles) wide and 850 m (2,789 ft) deep, partially filled by the waters of Heaven Lake.</p> </div> <drupal-render-placeholder callback="comment.lazy_builders:renderLinks" arguments="0=2205429&amp;1=default&amp;2=en&amp;3=" token="0LD8yCd2de6YCZCFCpHND2HAdTMry8et333VEN_bUTw"></drupal-render-placeholder> </div> <footer> <em>By <span lang="" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="">Steve T (not verified)</span> on 27 May 2010 <a href="https://scienceblogs.com/taxonomy/term/19861/feed#comment-2205429">#permalink</a></em> <article typeof="schema:Person" about="/user/0"> <div class="field field--name-user-picture field--type-image field--label-hidden field--item"> <a href="/user/0" hreflang="und"><img src="/files/styles/thumbnail/public/default_images/icon-user.png?itok=yQw_eG_q" width="100" height="100" alt="User Image" typeof="foaf:Image" class="img-responsive" /> </a> </div> </article> </footer> </article> <article data-comment-user-id="0" id="comment-2205430" class="js-comment comment-wrapper clearfix"> <mark class="hidden" data-comment-timestamp="1274971165"></mark> <div class="well"> <strong></strong> <div class="field field--name-comment-body field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field--item"><p>@78 Thank you kindly Stigger.

Let me quoting Peter Francis (Volcanoes, OUP, 1993) in the chapter about pyroclastic fall deposits (vulcanian section) : "Many volcanologists have watched vents from which a stream of fine ash and gas boils silently and ceaselessly, forming a plume which climbs a few kilometers into the air, drifting off downwind in a rolling grey-brown plume; compulsive to watch and photograph, but misery for the people living in towns and villages nearby."

Time flies. anyway i watched it saw an earthquake 8.3 and turned tv on. CNN reported 30 mins later that there was an earthquake in sumatra again a little later that there was a tsunami and serveral hundred people are supposedly dead. Now we know over 200 000 died. I watched that, i knew this was bad, i could have called people and maybe saved them.<br /> Something different.<br /> Jon Frimann ( sorry i dont konw where to find the ´ above the o and i on my keyboard) and Christian sent ash samples to me and i did SEM images on the ash. My museum will upload all those images to some site ( maybe flikr) and i will continue to do more SEMs and upload them. I will let you know about the adress as soon as it is set up. Very unique things could be found in some samples, i was amazed and still got no clue what those tiny tiny particles might be.<br /> And to the austrians here, ( or anyone else interested and per chance closeby) My museum will hold a special Deep Space about Eyja with a volcanologist on June 10. 8 pm.

I would love to visit your museum, in my next trip to Ãsterreich. There's a big coincidence here! I was in Salzburg on December the 26th, 2004,(I usually go there every three years - overdue know) and I happened to be watching on earthquakes maps when I saw the "8.3M" EQ on Sumatra you mentioned. Hours later I read on a newspaper a small note talking about "Flutwelle" in Indonesia. I didn't know the German word for "tsunami", I thought it was just a flood. Well the rest of this sad history we all know. Thanks for the link! (You'll probably be reading this tomorrow, but I was pretty amazed with both of us sharing the same experience - BTW: Ich wohne in Brasilien!)<br /> #126 Gracias por el link, Guillermo! Looks like latin american volcanoes are joining the gang. There's a big activity taking place also in Ecuador and Chile (Villarica, as you posted before, and Chaitén's dome still growing). Please, keep us updated.</p> </div> <drupal-render-placeholder callback="comment.lazy_builders:renderLinks" arguments="0=2205477&amp;1=default&amp;2=en&amp;3=" token="Ul8YSV9T8z4fzDxopiNyT7e-qIb6yeJDO0HO01oDZtM"></drupal-render-placeholder> </div> <footer> <em>By <span lang="" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="">Renato I Silveira (not verified)</span> on 27 May 2010 <a href="https://scienceblogs.com/taxonomy/term/19861/feed#comment-2205477">#permalink</a></em> <article typeof="schema:Person" about="/user/0"> <div class="field field--name-user-picture field--type-image field--label-hidden field--item"> <a href="/user/0" hreflang="und"><img src="/files/styles/thumbnail/public/default_images/icon-user.png?itok=yQw_eG_q" width="100" height="100" alt="User Image" typeof="foaf:Image" class="img-responsive" /> </a> </div> </article> </footer> </article> <article data-comment-user-id="0" id="comment-2205478" class="js-comment comment-wrapper clearfix"> <mark class="hidden" data-comment-timestamp="1274998518"></mark> <div class="well"> <strong></strong> <div class="field field--name-comment-body field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field--item"><p>@Guillermo, forgot to mention Turrialba, in Costa Rica - see the other thread.</p> </div> <drupal-render-placeholder callback="comment.lazy_builders:renderLinks" arguments="0=2205478&amp;1=default&amp;2=en&amp;3=" token="kjtCFsTOrqyLc9gjmJdZe06HbeKeuKhTdgrkQPBuvjo"></drupal-render-placeholder> </div> <footer> <em>By <span lang="" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="">Renato I Silveira (not verified)</span> on 27 May 2010 <a href="https://scienceblogs.com/taxonomy/term/19861/feed#comment-2205478">#permalink</a></em> <article typeof="schema:Person" about="/user/0"> <div class="field field--name-user-picture field--type-image field--label-hidden field--item"> <a href="/user/0" hreflang="und"><img src="/files/styles/thumbnail/public/default_images/icon-user.png?itok=yQw_eG_q" width="100" height="100" alt="User Image" typeof="foaf:Image" class="img-responsive" /> </a> </div> </article> </footer> </article> <article data-comment-user-id="0" id="comment-2205479" class="js-comment comment-wrapper clearfix"> <mark class="hidden" data-comment-timestamp="1274999043"></mark> <div class="well"> <strong></strong> <div class="field field--name-comment-body field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field--item"><p>Heavy ash falls in Guatemala City following the violent eruption of Pacaya this night:<br /> uk.news.yahoo.com/22/20100528/twl-uk-guatemala-volcano-a7cf3b4.html<br /> <a href="http://www.estrategiaynegocios.net/ca/Default.aspx?option=10583">www.estrategiaynegocios.net/ca/Default.aspx?option=10583</a><br /> <a href="http://www.abc.es/20100528/internacional-iberoamerica/pacaya-201005280512.htm">www.abc.es/20100528/internacional-iberoamerica/pacaya-201005280512.htm</a></p> <p>Pacaya has been going on for many years now producing lava flows quietly from flank vents, with only very minor explosive activity at its summit.
