The latest Smithsonian Institution and United States Geological Survey Weekly Volcanic Activity Report has been published by the Global Volcanism Program, covering the week 28 March to 3 April 2012. The report is compiled by Sally Kuhn Sennert. Among the highlights of this week:

  • Alert level at Clevelandraised as a new lava dome becomes evident
  • A significant increase in seismicity at Nevado del Ruiz brings a rise in the alert level
  • High levels of sulphur dioxide emissions at Soufrière Hills
  • Another paroxysmal eruptive episode at Etna with lava fountaining and ashfall

The latest Smithsonian Institution and United States Geological Survey Weekly Volcanic Activity Report has been published by the Global Volcanism Program, covering the week 14-20 March 2012. The report is compiled by Sally Kuhn Sennert. Among the highlights of this week:

  • A plume, probably water vapour, seen from Iliamna, where seismicity remained elevated
  • Seismicity decreased at Nevado del Ruiz but significant gas emissions continued
  • Etna continued lively with lava flows and fountaining, and strong ash emission
  • Daily explosions at Shiveluch produced plumes which reached 3-5 km altitude

The Global Volcanism Program has put together a bumper Weekly Volcanic Activity Report for 8-14 September 2010. Sally Kuhn Kennert of the GVP compiled the report. Some highlights:

  • Nevado del Huila: alert level raised following increase in seismicity and gas/ash emissions
  • Soufrière Hills: several small-to-moderate pyroclastic flows descended the dome and took parts of it down with them
  • Arenal: rumbled its way through August with gas emissions, strombolian eruptions and avalanches
  • Sinabung: threw ash plumes up to 4.3-4.6 km altitude
