Smithsonian / USGS Weekly Volcanic Activity Report

The Weekly Volcanic Activity Report is a cooperative project between the Smithsonian's Global Volcanism Program and the US Geological Survey's Volcano Hazards Program. Updated by 2300 UTC every Wednesday and averaging 16 reported volcanoes, this is not a comprehensive list of all eruptions this week, but rather a summary of activity that meet criteria discussed in the "Criteria and Disclaimers" section below.

Volcanic activity reported here is preliminary and subject to change. Carefully reviewed, detailed narratives over longer time periods are published as reports of the Bulletin of the Global Volcanism Network available through volcano profile pages.

Kanlaon (Philippines) | 11 September-17 September 2024 | New Activity / Unrest Cite this Report

Kanlaon
Negros-Sulu Volcanic Arc

PHIVOLCS reported continuing unrest at Kanlaon during 11-17 September, characterized by increased seismicity and sulfur dioxide emissions. Sulfur dioxide emissions reached a record high on 11 September, averaging 11,556 tonnes/day (t/d), before decreasing slightly to 10,880 t/d on 12 September; emissions were not reported the rest of the week. The number of volcanic earthquakes detected by the seismic network was 337 during 10-11 September and 79 recorded during 11-12 September. The daily number fluctuated from 2 to 32 on the other days. Weather clouds obscured views of the summit during the second half of the week. The Alert Level remained at 2 (on a scale of 0-5) and PHIVOLCS reminded the public to remain outside of the 4-km-radius Permanent Danger Zone and warned pilots not to fly close to the volcano. According to a Disaster Response Operations Monitoring and Information Center (DROMIC) report there were a total of 2,298 people in evacuation centers as of 16 September.

Kilauea (United States) | 11 September-17 September 2024 | New Activity / Unrest Cite this Report

Kilauea
Hawaiian-Emperor Hotspot Volcano Group

HVO reported that deformation analysis of an interferogram based on satellite images acquired over Kilauea during 2-14 September indicated that a dike intruded between Pauahi and Makaopuhi craters along the middle East Rift Zone. Seismicity and deformation increased dramatically at around 1600 on 14 September with most of the earthquakes located at depths of 1-3 km below the surface. The largest earthquake was an M 4.3 recorded at 1625 on 14 September and located in the S part of Kaluapele; this earthquake was associated with slip along one of the outer caldera faults and a consequence of stress changes due to the dike intrusion. Activity levels decreased overnight during 14-15 September; seismicity continued at less intense levels on 15 September, though deformation data continued to show moving magma.

During 2100-2200 on 15 September, infrasound instruments detected strong signals typical of gas or steam venting, and seismometers in the middle East Rift Zone recorded weak, sustained, low-frequency tremor. Residents in nearby subdivisions downwind reported smelling volcanic gas around that same time. There was no evidence of eruptive activity in webcam images and GOES satellite data did not show thermal anomalies, though heavy rainfall in the area complicated the interpretation. HVO issued a Volcanic Activity Notice (VAN) at 0023 on 16 September raising the Volcano Alert Level to Watch (the third level on a four-level scale) and the Aviation Color Code to Orange (the third color on a four-color scale) and noting that monitoring data indicated a continuing intrusion. Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park closed the Chain of Craters Road and other nearby areas in response to the increased activity.

During an overflight around 1000 on 16 September HVO scientists confirmed that an eruption had occurred during the night in an area just W of Napau Crater, near the Napau campsite in a remote area of the National Park. Two lava flows had erupted from a 480-m-long fissure with two segments, covering an area of approximately 16,500 square meters; the larger flow was about 200 m long. No active lava flows were seen during the overflight, but gas-and-steam was rising from the fissure. The campground was not affected but lava possibly covered a pulu (Hawaiian tree fern) station nearby, and vegetation along the margins of the flow field was burned. Chain of Craters Road is downslope and downwind of the new fissures.

The eruption resumed at about 1800 on 16 September with the activity visible in webcam images. During an overflight during the morning of 17 September volcanologists observed activity at fissures that had opened on the Napau Crater floor, downrift (NE) of the previous fissures that had opened on 15 September and were no longer active. The fissure on the crater floor was about 500 m long and trended E-W along the N part of the crater floor. Lava fountains rose 10 m from areas along the fissure, and by 0830 about 25-30 percent of the crater floor had been covered by lava. HVO released a map showing the margins the flow field as of 1030 on the 17th, based on observations made during the last helicopter overflight. The map showed that lava from the first set of fissures had flowed NE down into the Napau Crater during 16-17 September. The total length of the fissure system was more than 1.6 km and lava flow covered about 18 hectares (180,000 square meters).

Whakaari/White Island (New Zealand) | 11 September-17 September 2024 | New Activity / Unrest Cite this Report

Whakaari/White Island
Taupo Volcanic Zone

GeoNet reported that a low-level eruption at Whakaari/White Island was ongoing through 12 September, confirmed by data from webcams, overflights, and satellite images. Sulfur dioxide emissions recorded during a 5 September overflight were some of the highest during the previous 20 years. The rate of emissions was lower during an 11 September overflight; though emissions were variable the total gas output remained at higher than normal levels. The vent area appeared slightly larger on 11 September.

The plumes were darker and higher based on webcam images on 11 September, suggesting a substantially higher ash content; less ash was present in the plumes on 12 September. According to the Wellington VAAC ash-and-gas plumes rose 0.9 km (3,000 ft) a.s.l. and drifted E and SE during 13-14 September. The gas-and-ash plumes had been rising a few hundred meters to 1 km above the volcano and drifting tens of kilometers downwind. The plumes were sometimes tracked as far as 100 km downwind, and occasionally the plumes had passed over land. Ash fell as far as 3 km from the island. The Volcanic Alert Level remained at 3 (on a scale of 0-5) and the Aviation Color Code remained at Orange (the second highest level on a four-color scale).

Nyamulagira (DR Congo) | 11 September-17 September 2024 | Continuing ActivityCite this Report

Nyamulagira
Albertine Rift Zone

Satellite images from 13 and 18 September indicated continuing activity at Nyamuragira. The end of the NNW lava flow was about 7.6 km from the crater rim based on a 13 September satellite image and had advanced a short distance by 18 September. Lava had branched from the flow in an area about 1.3 km upslope from the end of the flow and traveled about 1.6 km NE. Lava flows that had breached the NNW crater rim traveled W and SW. The farthest end of the W flow was about 5 km from the crater rim and the end of the SW flow was about 3 km from the crater rim. Small thermal anomalies were visible near the ends of the NNW flow and in areas along the W and WSW flows. A larger thermal anomaly was present the part of the eastern crater floor. An 18 September image showed that the thermal anomaly in the main crater had shifted to the NW part of the crater. Scattered thermal anomalies on the flow fields indicated breakouts in areas along the margins of the NNW, W, and SW. Weather clouds slightly obscured the crater and flow field in the 13 September image but obscured most of the flow field and part of the crater in the 18 September image.

Criteria & Disclaimers

Criteria

The Weekly Volcanic Activity Report does not necessarily include all volcanic activity that occurred on Earth during the week. More than a dozen volcanoes globally have displayed more-or-less continuous eruptive activity for decades or longer, and such routine activity is typically not reported here. Moreover, Earth's sea-floor volcanism is seldom reported even though in theory it represents the single most prolific source of erupted material. The Weekly Volcanic Activity Report summarizes volcanic activity that meets one or more of the following criteria:

- A volcano observatory raises or lowers the alert level at the volcano.
- A volcanic ash advisory has been released by a volcanic ash advisory center (VAAC) stating that an ash cloud has been produced from the volcano.
- A verifiable news report of new activity or a change in activity at the volcano has been issued.
- Observers have reported a significant change in volcanic activity. Such activity can include, but is not restricted to, pyroclastic flows, lahars, lava flows, dome collapse, or increased unrest.

Volcanoes are included in the "New Activity/Unrest" section of the Weekly Volcanic Activity Report if the activity occurs after at least 3 months of quiescence. Once a volcano is included in the "New Activity/Unrest" section, updates will remain in that section unless the activity continues for more than 1 month without escalating, after which time updates will be listed in the "Continuing Activity" section. Volcanoes are also included in the "New Activity/Unrest" section if the volcano is undergoing a period of relatively high unrest, or increasing unrest. This is commonly equal to Alert Level Orange on a scale of Green, Yellow, Orange, Red, where Red is the highest alert. Or alert level 3 on a scale of 1-4 or 1-5.

It is important to note that volcanic activity meeting one or more of these criteria may occur during the week, but may not be included in the Weekly Volcanic Activity Report because we did not receive a report.

Disclaimers

1. The Weekly Volcanic Activity Report is intended to provide timely information about global volcanism on a weekly basis. Consequently, the report is generated rapidly by summarizing volcanic reports from various sources, with little time for fact checking. The accuracy of the Weekly Volcanic Activity Report is dependent upon the quality of the volcanic activity reports we receive. Reports published in the Bulletin of the Global Volcanism Network are cover longer time periods and are more carefully reviewed, although all of the volcanoes discussed in the Weekly Volcanic Activity Report are not necessarily reported in the Bulletin. Because of our emphasis on rapid reporting on the web we have avoided diacritical marks. Reports are updated on the Weekly Volcanic Activity Report web page as they are received, therefore information may be included regarding events that occurred before the current report period.

2. Rapidly developing events lead to coverage that is often fragmentary. Volcanoes, their eruptions, and their plumes and associated atmospheric effects are complex phenomena that may require months to years of data analysis in order to create a comprehensive summary and interpretation of events.

3. Preliminary accounts sometimes contain exaggerations and "false alarms," and accordingly, this report may include some events ultimately found to be erroneous or misleading.

4. Many news agencies do not archive the articles they post on the Internet, and therefore the links to some sources may not be active. To obtain information about the cited articles that are no longer available on the Internet contact the source.
