Seismic activity increased on Mauna Loa's northwest flank on December 4, 2020, with M4.1 earthquake and clusters of small, shallow earthquakes occurring closely in time and location. Picture by Oki Sakura / FB via Shérine France. JMA reported that at 1211 on 13 February a very small eruption at Kuchinoerabujima’s Shindake Crater produced a grayish white plume that rose 300 m above the crater rim and drifted NE. All historical eruptions have occurred from Shindake, although a lava flow from the S flank of Furudake that reached the coast has a very fresh morphology. Life returned to normal for the island's 300 inhabitants soon after the 28 September eruption. The Alert Level remained at 3 (on a scale of 1-5). This report describes events through February 2019. Views of the volcano remained obscured by clouds other days, but instruments recorded volcanic seismicity and volcanic tremor. Information Contacts: T. Tiba, National Science Museum, Tokyo. During an overflight on 22 October, observers noted ash in the emissions, though no morphological changes to the crater nor ash deposits were seen. Later that day, ash plumes rose 200 m and drifted SW. Ash plumes continued the next day, 30 May, rising only 1.2 km.

Volcanic Video Site. JMA reported that during 20-26 August there were few episodes of volcanic tremor and volcanic earthquakes, with no explosions at Kuchinoerabujima. Low-level seismicity continued and tremor was absent. The Alert Level remained at 3 (on a scale of 1-5).
On 5 August, volcanic seismicity and volcanic tremor decreased and views from a remote web camera showed a white plume 50 m above the crater rim. Continuing fumarolic actiivty in a crack in W part of the crater was confirmed during a field survey. During the month of January, some inflation was detected at the base on the volcano and a total of 347 earthquakes were recorded. Japanâs Kuchinoerabujima volcano erupted at 06:05 UTC on January 11, 2020, ejecting volcanic material up to 300 m (984 feet) from the crater of Mount Shindake.
Residents of the neighborhood were evacuated to Banyagamine hill about two kilometers from the village. Another weak explosion occurred on 28 December, scattering large cinders up to 500 m from the crater. During this time, SO2 emissions ranged from 100 to 1,000 tons/day. Ashfall was confirmed in the N part of Yakushima Island with a large amount in Miyanoura (32 km ESE) and southern Tanegashima. Small eruptive events also occurred during 20-21 February, resulting in gas-and-steam emissions that rose 200 m above the crater. Steam plumes were observed rising to 600 m above the crater in May. The previous pyroclastic flow that was recorded occurred on 29 January 2019. This is the first eruption at the volcano since February 2, 2019.

The JMA's seismometer was removed on 15 November because the volcano was quiet.
Seismic unrest was also reported during mid-1999 (BGVN 24:08).
For each MODIS image, the algorithm automatically scans each 1 km pixel within it to check for high-temperature hot-spots. Ash fell on the sea [SW] of the volcano, missing the homes of the 12 x 5 km island's 300 residents. According to the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA), pyroclastic flows -- the first since January 29, 2019 -- traveled around 900 m (2 953 feet) southwest of the crater. Based on these events, JMA raised the Volcanic Alert Level to 5 (Evacuate). "We do not think the latest eruption would engulf the entire island." Observers doing fieldwork on 14 and 15 November noted that thermal measurements in the crater had not changed. Minor eruptive activity from 1659 on 17 January through 1030 on 20 January generated grayish-white plumes that rose 300 m. Sulfur dioxide emissions were high at 800 and 1,600 tons per day on 15 and 16 January, respectively. A day after, December... A newly-discovered asteroid designated 2020 XG2 flew past Earth at a distance of 0.13 LD / 0.00033 AU (49 367 km / 30 675 miles) from the center of our planet at 19:15 UTC on December 7, 2020. The volcano is located in the Ryukyu Island arc, off Japan's SW coast (figure 4). Some periods of increased seismicity through 2009; white plumes. | November
White plumes were visible on webcamera images rising 800 m from the crater during 8-12 September and to 600 m during 13-16 September. As a result, a pyroclastic flow formed, traveling 900-1,500 m SW. Activity after the explosion was limited to emission of white vapor through the end of September. They occurred at about the same place as the swarm that occurred just before the May 2015 eruption. This led to an increase in the Alert Level from 1 (Normal) to 3 (Do not approach the volcano) on a 5-level scale.
Heavy rainfall in the Democratic Republic of Congo during early December has caused deadly flooding in Mbanza-Ngungu, leaving at least 18 fatalities.

In contrast to Kusatsu-Shirane and Ontake, Hakone vol-cano is an âurbanizedâ volcano, which enables research-ers to access this potential eruption center frequently and to deploy geophysical instruments connected to electric and communication grids. Eight scientists from Kyoto University, Kagoshima University, and the JMA observatory arrived at the island on 1 October, installing portable seismometers at five sites. The volcano, located in the southwestern prefecture of ⦠Kuchinoerabu Island contains a composite elongate cone made up of three closely spaced Holocene volcanoes supporting the island's S-central zone (figure 3; Geshi and Nakano, 2007; Geshi and Kobayashi, 2007). The number of volcanic earthquakes began increasing on 9 February and continued to be elevated the next day. Eruption of Kuchinoerabujima volcano â 17.01.2019. Subscribe to our newsletter and have our news updates delivered to your inbox daily. The report noted that volcanic tremor had not been detected, the temperature of thermal areas had declined, sulfur dioxide gas flux was lower than values detected prior to the May-June 2015 eruption, and volcanic earthquake levels were lower than levels detected in August 2014. JMA reported that during 13-20 April very small eruptive events at Kuchinoerabujima’s Shindake Crater produced grayish-white plumes that rose 600 m above the crater rim. Ashfall was confirmed in the northern part of neighboring Yakushima Island (a large amount in Miyanoura, 32 km ESE) and southern Tanegashima. White plumes rose 400-700 m above the crater. The Alert Level remained at 3 (the middle level on a scale of 1-5). Ash explosions up to 7 km (23 000 feet) above sea level began at about 20:45 UTC, drifting northwest of the volcano, KVERT reports. Aerial observations on 20 June by JMA revealed no traces of new pyroclastic-flow deposits around the crater or on the flanks. The SO2 emissions on 6 April reached 3,200 tons/day, the maximum measurement for this reporting period. Volcanic earthquakes had declined on 30 May but continued to periodically occur. National Catalogue of the Active Volcanoes in Japan (second edition). The Alert Level was lowered to 3 (the highest level on a 1-5 scale) on 14 June, and the public was reminded to stay at least 2 km away from Shindake Crater. A modest explosion from Shindake crater on 3 August 2014 caused JMA to increase the Alert Level at the volcano. During the December 2011-January 2012 period, no significant change in plume activity was observed, and plume heights remained below 100 m above the crater. [JMA reported that there was no damage.]. Seismicity has been increasing since January 1996. A group of young stratovolcanoes forms the E end of Kuchinoerabu-jima Island, midway between Suwanose-jima and Kyushu. The plume rose to a height of 2000 meters and entered the clouds. The Alert Level remained at 3 (on a scale of 1-5). One such episode, beginning in early September 2008, prompted two increases in the hazard status by late October when the seismicity was accompanied by inflation and increased fumarolic activity near the summit (BGVN 33:09). Fumarolic activity in a crack in W part of the crater was observed during a field survey on 30 March. Satellite image of Kuchinoerabu-jima volcano on 13 May 2020 Kuchinoerabu-jima Volcano Volcanic Ash Advisory: ERUPTED AT 20200505/1450Z FL040 EXTD NE OBS VA DTG: 05/1440Z Tue, 5 May 2020⦠The current eruption began on 11 January 2020 after nearly a year of dominantly gas-and-steam emissions. JMA reported on 6, 12 August a white plume rose 800m and 300 m respectively above the crater rim at Kuchinoerabujima. Scientists aboard an overflight on 10 February observed a new crater with high-temperature areas on the NE part, new fissures, and white steam emissions. Seismicity was higher in March 2004, January-February, May, July-September, and November 2005, March-April, August, and October-December 2006, and February and April 2007 (table 1). Later that day ash plumes rose 200 m and drifted SW. Scientists conducted an overflight and confirmed pyroclastic flow deposits on the NW and NE flanks. The epicenter was located 26.5 km (16.5 miles)... Explosive activity resumed at Karymsky volcano, Kamchatka, Russia on December 9, 2020. Plumes rose 200 m above the crater rim. The only recent English-translated JMA report on Kuchinoerabu-jima available online through December 2012 was in January 2012.
Minor eruptive activity was reported during 17-20 January which produced gray-white plumes that rose 300-500 m above the crater. Several villages on the 4 x 12 km island are located within a few kilometers of the active crater and have suffered damage from eruptions. Incandescence was occasionally observed at night during April and again during 18-22 May; fumarolic activity continued along with a rise in temperature at the W and SW fissures. Activity at Kuchinoerabujima is exemplified by interim explosions and periods of high seismicity. All historical eruptions have originated from the Shindake cone, with the exception of a lava flow that originated from the S flank of the Furudake cone. Geshi N, Kobayashi T, 2006. JMA reported that during 27 August-2 September few volcanic earthquakes were accompanied by no explosion at Kuchinoerabujima. Sources: Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA); Tokyo Volcanic Ash Advisory Center (VAAC). The Alert Level remained at 3 (on a scale of 1-5). An eruption on 11 January 2020 at 1505 ejected material 300 m from the crater and produced ash plumes that rose 2 km above the crater rim, extending E, according to JMA. On 14 June JMA reported that no activity at Kuchinoerabujima had been detected after a small eruption on 19 June 2015. Relatively large eruptions are observed on January 11, 27 and February 3. The island of the same name is home to ~ 140 residents and lies ~ 130 km S of the city of Kagoshima (Kyushu Island, Japan). The Californian volcano has so much magma beneath the surface, it could support an eruption equivalent to the massive one which occurred 767,000 years ago, â¦
