ALASKA VOLCANO OBSERVATORY DAILY UPDATE
U.S. Geological Survey
Tuesday, July 1, 2014, 12:45 PM AKDT (Tuesday, July 1, 2014, 20:45 UTC)
SHISHALDIN VOLCANO
(VNUM #311360)
54°45'19" N 163°58'16" W,
Summit Elevation 9373 ft (2857 m)
Current Volcano Alert Level: WATCH
Current Aviation Color Code:
ORANGE
Low-level eruptive activity continues. Consistently elevated temperatures at the summit of Shishaldin Volcano were recorded in satellite images over the past 24 hours. No significant seismicity was noted. Web camera images showed no significant plume.
SEMISOPOCHNOI VOLCANO
(VNUM #311060)
51°55'44" N 179°35'52" E,
Summit Elevation 2625 ft (800 m)
Current Volcano Alert Level: ADVISORY
Current Aviation Color Code:
YELLOW
The Semispochnoi earthquake swarm that began on June 9 continues. No sign of activity was noted in satellite images over the past 24 hours.
CLEVELAND VOLCANO
(VNUM #311240)
52°49'20" N 169°56'42" W,
Summit Elevation 5676 ft (1730 m)
Current Volcano Alert Level: ADVISORY
Current Aviation Color Code:
YELLOW
No volcanic activity was observed in satellite images over the past 24 hours.
PAVLOF VOLCANO
(VNUM #312030)
55°25'2" N 161°53'37" W,
Summit Elevation 8261 ft (2518 m)
Current Volcano Alert Level: ADVISORY
Current Aviation Color Code:
YELLOW
Satellite data suggest that very minor amounts of ash may be present in the steam and gas plume emitting from the Pavlof vent or from rock falls on the north side of the volcano. Any ash produced from this activity is not expected to travel far downwind. Small, discrete seismic events continue. Eruptive activity could resume at any time with little or no warning.
VENIAMINOF VOLCANO
(VNUM #312070)
56°11'52" N 159°23'35" W,
Summit Elevation 8225 ft (2507 m)
Current Volcano Alert Level: ADVISORY
Current Aviation Color Code:
YELLOW
No volcanic activity was observed in satellite images over the past 24 hours. Seismicity remains slightly above background.
OTHER ALASKA VOLCANOES
Other Alaska volcanoes show no signs of significant unrest: http://www.avo.alaska.edu/activity/
AVO scientists conduct daily checks of earthquake activity at all seismically-monitored volcanoes, examine web camera and satellite images for evidence of airborne ash and elevated surface temperatures, and consult other monitoring data as needed.
