An
explosive eruption from Galeras on 30 September prompted INGEOMINAS to
raise the Alert Level to I (Red; "imminent eruption or in progress").
National Park personnel reported two explosions and incandescent
material ejected from the area of the active cone. An ash plume rose to
an approximate altitude of 12.3 km (40,400 ft) a.s.l. and drifted E,
then N. The sulfur dioxide emission rate was between 1,100 and 9,300
tons per day. Ash was deposited in Sandoná (15 km NW), and Ancuya,
Linares, and Sotomayor (40 km NW). Seismicity decreased after the
eruption. On 1 October, seismicity was low and the sulfur dioxide
emission rate was 300 tons per day. The Alert Level was lowered to II
(Orange; "probable eruption in term of days or weeks"), and then to III
(Yellow; "changes in the behavior of volcanic activity") on 6 October.

VOLCANOS:
ASH AND GAS ERUPTIONS north of latitude 23°N (with highest plume)
SAKURA-JIMA Kyushu 31.585°N, 130.657°E; summit elev. 1117 m (2.7 km)
SHIVELUCH Central Kamchatka (Russia) 56.653°N, 161.360°E; summit elev. 3283 m (15 km)
KVERT
reported that during 4-11 September seismic activity from Shiveluch was
above background levels. Analyses of satellite imagery revealed a large
daily thermal anomaly over the lava dome. Based on interpretations of
seismic data, ash plumes possibly rose to an altitude of 4.2 km (13,800
ft) a.s.l. and hot avalanches occurred at the lava dome. Gas-and-steam
plumes rose to an altitude of 4 km (13,100 ft) a.s.l. during 4-9
September. An ash plume was seen in satellite imagery drifting 80 km E
on 8 September.
On 11 September, KVERT reported strong explosions.
Based on interpretations of seismic data, ash plumes rose to an
altitude greater than 15 km (49,200 ft) a.s.l. The seismic network then
detected eight minutes of pyroclastic flows from the lava dome;
resulting plumes rose to an altitude of approximately 10 km (32,800 ft)
a.s.l. The Level of Concern Color Code was raised to Red. Ten more
events characterized as ash explosions and either pyroclastic flows or
avalanches were detected. Cloud cover prevented visual observations.
Seismicity decreased during 11-12 September, and indicated that ash
plumes rose to altitudes of 4.5-6.5 km (14,800-21,300 ft) a.s.l. The
Level of Concern Color Code was lowered to Orange.

Low Magnitude Quake Swarm Near Oklahoma City
...Week ending August 27, 2009, at a Glance for TEN years since 1999
(Disclaimer: Data is from the first week of evaluation, and thus is preliminary.

Web Site: Earthquake Swarms Near Oklahoma City (thanks to Canie)

Article: Sunspots Disappearing?
According
to Bill Livingston and Matt Penn of the National Solar Observatory in
Tucson, Arizona, sunspot magnetic fields are waning. The two respected
solar astronomers have been measuring solar magnetism since 1992. Their
technique is based on Zeeman splitting of infrared spectral lines
emitted by iron atoms in the vicinity of sunspots. Extrapolating their
data into the future suggests that sunspots could completely disappear
within decades.

KILAUEA Hawaii (USA) 19.421°N, 155.287°W; summit elev. 1222 m (diffuse white plume; elevated sulfur dioxide; one lava entry into ocean)
During 29 July-4 August, HVO reported that lava flowed SE from underneath Kilauea's Thanksgiving Eve Breakout (TEB) and rootless shield complex through a lava tube system, reaching the Waikupanaha ocean entry. Thermal anomalies detected in satellite images and visual observations revealed active surface flows on the pali. The vent in Halema'uma'u crater continued to produce a diffuse white plume that drifted mainly SW. Small amounts of ash-sized "rock dust," likely generated from small wall collapses in the vent, were retrieved from collection bins placed near the plume. The sulfur dioxide emission rate at the summit remained elevated; 675 tonnes per day was measured on 31 July. The 2003-2007 average rate was 140 tonnes per day.

KILAUEA Hawaii (USA) 19.421°N, 155.287°W; summit elev. 1222 m (low; elevated sulfur dioxide; one lava entry into ocean)
During 22-28 July, HVO reported that lava flowed SE from underneath Kilauea's Thanksgiving Eve Breakout (TEB) and rootless shield complex through a lava tube system, reaching the Waikupanaha ocean entry. Thermal anomalies detected in satellite images and visual observations revealed active surface flows at several locations on the pali. Explosions from the Waikupanaha ocean entry were reported on 22 July. The vent in Halema'uma'u crater continued to produce a diffuse white plume that drifted mainly SW. Small amounts of ash-sized "rock dust" were retrieved from collection bins placed near the plume during the reporting period. The sulfur dioxide emission rate at the summit remained elevated; measurements were 800, 500, and 950 tonnes per day on 22, 24, and 27 July, respectively. The 2003-2007 average rate was 140 tonnes per day; between the 30 June rockfall sequence and 19 July rates were 200-400 tonnes per day.
NEVADO DEL HUILA Colombia 2.93°N, 76.03°W; summit elev. 5364 m (gas plumes, low)
SANGAY Ecuador 2.002°S, 78.341°W; summit elev. 5230 m (7.9 km)
Based
on a pilot observation, the Washington VAAC reported that on 23 July a
possible ash plume from Sangay rose to an altitude of 7.9 km (26,000
ft) a.s.l. The plume was not identified in satellite imagery.

CHAITEN Southern Chile 42.833°S, 72.646°W; summit elev. 1122 m (2.4 km)
DUKONO Halmahera 1.68°N, 127.88°E; summit elev. 1335 m (2.4 km)

KILAUEA Hawaii (USA) 19.421°N, 155.287°W; summit elev. 1222 m (low white; elevated sulfur dioxide gas; lava entering ocean at two entries)
During
8-14 July, HVO reported that lava flowed SE from underneath Kilauea's
Thanksgiving Eve Breakout (TEB) and rootless shield complex through a
lava tube system, reaching the Waikupanaha and Kupapa'u ocean entries.
Thermal anomalies detected in satellite images and visual observations
revealed active surface flows on the pali and on the TEB flow field.
Explosions from both ocean entries were reported on 8 July; strong
explosions ejected incandescent tephra up to 20 m high at the
Waikupanaha entry.
The vent in Halema'uma'u crater continued to produce a predominantly white plume that drifted mainly SW. No lava or incandescence from the crater had been seen since a "deflation-inflation" event on 4 July. Small amounts of ash-sized tephra were retrieved from collection bins placed near the plume during the reporting period. The sulfur dioxide emission rate at the summit remained elevated; measurements were between 300 and 400 tonnes per day during 8-10 and 13 July. The 2003-2007 average rate was 140 tonnes per day.
MANDA HARARO Northeastern Africa 12.17°N, 40.82°E; summit elev. 600+ m (low, steaming; large sulfur dioxide plume)
MAYON Luzon 13.257°N, 123.685°E; summit elev. 2462 m (low, steaming)
PACAYA Guatemala 14.381°N, 90.601°W; summit elev. 2552 m (2.9 km, gas)

VOLCANOS:
ASH AND GAS ERUPTIONS north of latitude 23°N (with highest plume)
SARYCHEV PEAK Matua Island 48.092°N, 153.20°E; summit elev. 1496 m (3 km, gas and steam)
SAKURA-JIMA Kyushu 31.585°N, 130.657°E; summit elev. 1117 m (2.7 km)
SHIVELUCH Central Kamchatka (Russia) 56.653°N, 161.360°E; summit elev. 3283 m (8.1 km)
KVERT
reported that during 25 June-3 July seismic activity from Shiveluch was
above background levels. Pyroclastic flows were noted on 25 and 26
June. Based on interpretations of seismic data, ash plumes possibly
rose to an altitude of 8.1 km (26,600 ft) a.s.l. during 25-30 June, and
steam-and-gas plumes with some ash content were emitted during the
reporting period. Analysis of satellite imagery revealed a daily
thermal anomaly over the lava dome and ash plumes that drifted 97 km NE
on 26 June. The Level of Concern Color Code remained at Orange. Based
on analysis of satellite imagery and information from KEMSD, the Tokyo
VAAC reported that on 3 and 5 July eruptions produced plumes that rose
to altitudes of 4.9-5.5 km (16,000-18,000 ft) a.s.l.
SUWANOSE-JIMA Ryukyu Islands (Japan) 29.635°N, 129.716°E; summit elev. 799 m (low)
ASH AND GAS ERUPTIONS south of
latitude

BATU TARA Komba Island (Indonesia) 7.792°S, 123.579°E; summit elev. 748 m (2.4 km)
CHAITEN Southern Chile 42.833°S, 72.646°W; summit elev. 1122 m (2.1 km)
DUKONO Halmahera 1.68°N, 127.88°E; summit elev. 1335 m (2.4 km)
KILAUEA Hawaii (USA) 19.421°N, 155.287°W; summit elev. 1222 m (low brown; high sulfur dioxide; two ocean entries for lava)
During
1-6 July, HVO reported that lava flowed SE from underneath Kilauea's
Thanksgiving Eve Breakout (TEB) and rootless shield complex through a
lava tube system, reaching the Waikupanaha and Kupapa'u ocean entries.
Thermal anomalies detected in satellite images and visual observations
revealed active surface flows on the pali and on the TEB flow field.
A sequence of rockfalls within the cavity on the floor of Halema'uma'u crater began at 1338 on 30 June. The first rockfall was followed by a loud explosion, and produced a M 2.4 equivalent earthquake felt at HVO and the adjacent Jaggar Museum. The gas plume turned brown for several minutes. Several more rockfall signals were detected by the seismic network; two more were felt locally. Booming sounds also accompanied several of the rockfalls. Chunks of the vent rim fell into the cavity. By 1600, more than 30 rim-collapse events had been recorded by seismometers, with a few more occurring on 1 July. Seismic tremor amplitudes decreased by more than 50 percent. By 1800, the levels were at their lowest values since 30 August 2007. On 1 July, scientists observed rocky rubble within the vent and no incandescence. Sporadic gas jetting noises were heard coming from the vent.
During 1-2 July, a few areas of incandescence were seen in the vent by the web camera. During 2-4 July, scientists observed a small ponded lava surface and weak spattering deep within the vent. The sulfur dioxide emission rate at the summit remained elevated; measurements were 360 and 200 tonnes per day on 3 and 5 July, respectivley. The 2003-2007 average rate was 140 tonnes per day.
KRAKATAU Indonesia 6.102°S, 105.423°E; summit elev. 813 m (<3 km)
MANDA HARARO Northeastern Africa 12.17°N, 40.82°E; summit elev. 600+ m (large sulfur dioxide)
MAYON Luzon 13.257°N, 123.685°E; summit elev. 2462 m (seismic; sulfur dioxide)
RABAUL New Britain 4.271°S, 152.203°E; summit elev. 688 m (4.3 km)
SAN MIGUEL El Salvador 13.434°N, 88.269°W; summit elev. 2130 m (seismic only)
SANTA MARIA Guatemala 14.756°N, 91.552°W; summit elev. 3772 m (3.2 km)
TUNGURAHUA Ecuador 1.467°S, 78.442°W; summit elev. 5023 m (6 km)
UBINAS Perú 16.355°S, 70.903°W; summit elev. 5672 m (9.1 km)
Based
on a pilot observation, the Buenos Aires VAAC reported that on 4 July
an ash plume from Ubinas rose to altitudes of 6.7-9.1 km (22,000-30,000
ft) a.s.l. and drifted NE. Ash was not detected on satellite imagery.

KILAUEA Hawaii (USA) 19.421°N, 155.287°W; summit elev. 1222 m (low, white; elevated sulfur dioxide; two ocean entries for lava)
During 24-30 June, HVO reported that lava flowed SE from underneath Kilauea's Thanksgiving Eve Breakout (TEB) and rootless shield complex through a lava tube system, reaching the Waikupanaha and Kupapa'u ocean entries. Thermal anomalies detected in satellite images and visual observations revealed active surface flows on the pali and on the TEB flow field. Explosions from both ocean entries were occasionally reported. On 28 June, officials reported a wide swath of lava flows descending the pali.
The vent in Halema'uma'u crater continued to produce a predominantly white plume that drifted mainly SW. Small amounts of ash-sized tephra, including Pele's hair and fresh spatter, were retrieved from collection bins placed near the plume during the reporting period. A molten lava pool (54 m in diameter) near the base of the cavity, about 290 m below the floor of the crater, produced incandescence of variable brightness. The level of the lava pond rose periodically. Sounds resembling rushing gas and rockfalls were occasionally heard in the vicinity of the crater. The sulfur dioxide emission rate at the summit remained elevated; measurements were 800 tonnes per day on 24 and 26 June. The 2003-2007 average rate was 140 tonnes per day.

The
eruption from Sarychev Peak that began on 11 June continued through the
19th. SVERT reported another explosive eruption at 1730 UTC on 15 June,
followed by the satellite observation of a plume early on 16 June that
extended 360 km NW. The Tokyo VAAC estimated that the 16 June plume
rose to an altitude of 9.7 km (32,000 feet) a.s.l., while higher ash
clouds from earlier explosions reached 13.7 km (45,000 feet) altitude.
Ash emissions continued during 17-18 June, causing ashfall in
Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, and gas-and-steam plumes spread NE and SW. Thermal
anomalies were detected in satellite data on 18 and 19 June, but cloudy
conditions prevented clear observations. One MODIS image on 18 June
showed an ash plume spreading SW above the weather clouds. Although the
Aviation Color Code was lowered from Red to Orange on 19 June,
satellite observations showed that a diffuse ash cloud had spread
approximately 20 km S and 40 km W of the volcano.

KILAUEA Hawaii (USA) 19.421°N, 155.287°W; summit elev. 1222 m (low glassy bits; sulfur dioxide elevated; two lava entries into ocean)
Daily
reports from HVO about Kilauea during 17-23 June indicated continuing
visible glow from the Halema'uma'u vent. Molten lava remained in the
neck of a funnel-shaped cavity in the floor of Halema'uma'u Crater.
Webcam views showed the lava level rising several meters for brief
periods before returning to depths of about 290 m below the crater rim
and 205 m below the crater floor, as determined by laser-ranging
measurements. Throughout the week lava from east rift zone vents flowed
through tubes to the coast and entered the ocean at two locations west
of Kalapana; active surface flows also continued on the pali within the
abandoned Royal Gardens subdivision. Sulfur dioxide emission rates from
the Halema`uma`u and Pu`u `O`o vents remained elevated. The plume
continued to carry glassy bits of spatter and small amounts of ash. A
deflation-inflation event began on 22 June and was continuing the next
day.

ASH AND GAS ERUPTIONS north of latitude 23°N (with highest plume)
SARYCHEV PEAK Matua Island, Kurils 48.092°N, 153.20°E; summit elev. 1496 m (12 km) 14 June
Based
on analysis of satellite imagery, SVERT reported that on 11 June a
thermal anomaly from Sarychev Peak and a possible diffuse ash plume
were detected. Seismicity was at background levels. The next day, a
large thermal anomaly was present and ash emissions were were seen on
satellite imagery. On 13 June, ash plumes rose to an altitude of 7.5 km
(24,600 ft) a.s.l. and drifted 200 km SW and 105 km SE. On 14 June, a
large eruption produced an ash plume that rose to an altitude of 12 km
(39,400 ft) a.s.l. A large explosion the next day sent an ash plume to
an altitude of 8 km (26,200 ft) a.s.l. Sarychev Peak is not monitored
with ground-based instruments. According to news articles, some
airlines have re-routed, canceled, or delayed flights.
EBEKO Paramushir Island 50.68°N, 156.02°E; summit elev. 1156 m (2.1 km)
KLIUCHEVSKOI Central Kamchatka (Russia) 56.057°N, 160.638°E; summit elev. 4835 m (low)

SAKURA-JIMA Kyushu 31.585°N, 130.657°E; summit elev. 1117 m (2.7 km)
SHIVELUCH Central Kamchatka (Russia) 56.653°N, 161.360°E; summit elev. 3283 m (7.9 km) June 11-15
KVERT
reported that during 5-11 June seismic activity from Shiveluch was
above background levels. Based on interpretations of seismic data,
diffuse ash plumes were emitted during the reporting period; ash plumes
possibly rose to altitudes of 4.8-7.7 km (16,000-25,300 ft) a.s.l.
during 6 and 10-11 June. Video camera images showed steam-and-gas
emissions. Analysis of satellite imagery revealed a daily thermal
anomaly over the lava dome, and ash plumes that drifted 90 km S on 6
and 7 June. The Level of Concern Color Code remained at Orange. Based
on analysis of satellite imagery and information from KEMSD, the Tokyo
VAAC reported that during 11-12 and 14-15 June eruptions produced
plumes that rose to altitudes of 6.1-7.9 km (20,000-26,000 ft) a.s.l. A
possible eruption was seen on satellite imagery on 13 June.

GALERAS Colombia 1.22°N, 77.37°W; summit elev. 4276 m (low, steam)
KILAUEA Hawaii (USA) 19.421°N, 155.287°W; summit elev. 1222 m (low; elevated sulfur dioxide; two ocean entries for lava)
During 10-16 June, HVO reported that lava flowed SE from underneath Kilauea's Thanksgiving Eve Breakout (TEB) and rootless shield complex through a lava tube system, reaching the Waikupanaha and Kupapa'u ocean entries. Thermal anomalies detected in satellite images and visual observations revealed active surface flows on the pali and on the TEB flow field. Explosions from the Waikupanaha ocean entry were reported on 13 June.
The vent in Halema'uma'u crater continued to produce a predominantly white plume that drifted mainly SW. Small amounts of tephra, including Pele's hair and fresh spatter, were retrieved from collection bins placed near the plume during the reporting period. A molten lava pool near the base of the cavity, about 100 m below the floor of the crater, produced bright incandescence. The Halema'uma'u Overlook Vent webcam that has a view into the vent cavity showed a draining event from the actively bubbling lava pond on the evening of 12 June. Sounds resembling rushing gas and rockfalls were occasionally heard in the vicinity of the crater. The sulfur dioxide emission rate at the summit remained elevated; measurements were 1,100 and 1,000 tonnes per day on 11 and 12 June, respectively. The 2003-2007 average rate was 140 tonnes per day.

UBINAS Perú 16.355°S, 70.903°W; summit elev. 5672 m (7.9 km) June 11,13-15
Based
on SIGMET notices and analysis of satellite imagery, the Buenos Aires
VAAC reported that during 11 and 13-15 June eruptions from Ubinas
produced ash plumes that rose to altitudes of 5.5-7.9 km (18,000-26,000
ft) a.s.l. Plumes drifted NE, E, and SE. Ash was not identified on
satellite imagery on 13 June.
