Description

From Miller and others (1998) [1] : "The active volcano front runs through northern Atka Island which has been geologically mapped on a reconnaissance scale by Marsh (1990, in Wood and Kienle, 1990 [2] ) who described the overall structure of the volcanic center as that of a broad central shield upon which a large stratocone (Atka volcano) had been built. This cone was destroyed during caldera formation about 300,000 to 500,000 years ago. Korovin, neighboring Kliuchef, and probably Konia are products of the latest stage of volcanic activity on the island, which began perhaps 100,000 years ago based on the degree of dissection (B. Marsh, written commun., 1982).
"Korovin volcano is a stratovolcano, 1533 m high and almost 7 km in basal diameter, having two summit vents 0.6 km apart. The northwestern summit vent is a symmetric cone with a small crater. The southeastern summit vent is on the remnant of a cone with a steep-walled crater, about 1 km wide at the rim and at least several hundred meters deep. Intercalated lava flows and pyroclastic rocks comprise the upper part of the crater wall, but the bottom one hundred meters or so are nearly vertical and apparently consist entirely of lava flows. A turquoise green lake fills the lower part of the crater; the color suggests the occurrence of solfataric activity [3] .
"The west side of Sarichef and east flank of Konia are extensively dissected; Konia has a relatively fresh cinder cone on its west flank. Sarichef is most likely a satellite vent of the earlier Atka volcano as is Kliuchef which is located on the northern rim of the Atka caldera. Korovin and Kliuchef are virtually undissected and are thus apparently of post-glacial age. Hot springs and fumaroles occur on the south and west flanks of Mt. Kliuchef and near the head of a glacial valley 6 km southwest of Korovin volcano [4] ."

Name Origin

Captain Lutke published the name "Korovinskoi Volcano" for "Korovin Volcano" in 1836 (Orth, 1971).

Ash Forecasting

Mathematical models developed by the USGS forecast various aspects of how a volcanic ash plume will interact with wind—where, how high, and how fast ash particles will be transported in the atmosphere, as well as where ash will fall out and accumulate on the ground. AVO runs these models when a volcano is restless by assuming a reasonable hypothetical eruption, to provide a pre-eruptive forecast of areas likely to be affected. During an ongoing eruption, AVO will update the forecast with actual observations (eruption start time and duration, plume height) as they become available.

Ashfall thickness forecast

The Ash3d model was developed by the USGS to forecast how a volcanic ash plume will interact with wind and where ash will fall out and accumulate on the ground. AVO runs these models twice daily when a volcano is restless by assuming a reasonable hypothetical eruption altitude and duration. The map shows the model results of ashfall thickness for areas that are likely to be affected, if one were to occur. During an ongoing eruption, AVO will update the forecast with actual observations (eruption start time and duration, plume height) as they become available, and these plots will be automatically updated. The National Weather Service Anchorage Forecast Office will issue the official ashfall warning product and post them at weather.gov/afc

Ashfall Start Time

This map shows the modeled estimate of the time it would take for ashfall to begin following an eruption. It corresponds to the ashfall thickness forecast map shown above. This map uses the start time of either the twice-daily hypothetical model runs (time shown in the legend) or the actual eruption start time (if one were to occur). In the case of an actual eruption, the National Weather Service Anchorage Forecast Office will issue the official ashfall warning product that includes the ashfall start time and post them at weather.gov/afc
