katla in unrest right now....

how long will it take... perhaps when the gletcher metled enough ....

Iceland:

Though Katla was quiet today there were earthquakes in Bárðarbunga volcano in Vatnajökull glacier. The biggest was 3,1 on the Richter scale.

Óskarsdóttir says the earthquakes in Katla and in Bárðarbunga are not connected, as the two volcanoes are far apart and don’t draw on the same source.

28th Today IMO issued risk of jokulhaup
“Remarks of a specialist
Increased risk of glacial flooding in Múlakvísl river south of Mýrdalsjökull glacier. In recent days conductivity measurements in Múlakvísl river have steadily shown a increased thermal flow into the river which indicates increased risk of glacial flooding (Jokulhlaup). Regional Police have reported above average water flow. The Met Office monitors closely the situation and will report on further development.

bad news for europe...its holiday season.... reply to: SeekingDepth

Mount Sinabung on the Indonesian island of Sumatra blasted volcanic ash as high as 4.2 kilometers (2.6 miles) on Wednesday, one of its biggest eruptions in the past several months of high activity.

Hot ash tumbled down the mountain's slopes as far as 4.5 kilometers (2.8 miles) east and southeast into the Labortus River.

Media reports said students from an elementary school in Kuta Rakyat were sent home because volcanic ash covering the village was considered dangerous. There were no reports of casualties.

phys.org, August 2, 2017 - New eruption at Indonesia volcano spreads ash for miles.

I am not sure if this one has ever stopped erupting. Officials tried to keep clear a 7 km zone but people stay in their village!? With a volcano erupting underfoot I would probably keep my distance. 7 K would not be enough space for me.

The article shows a person in truck with a huge ash cloud behind. Having lived through fallout from a volcano I know first hand it is not fun. It turned day to night and was really sharp. There were runs on automobile air filters. The stuff was around for a while too.

sinabung part of toba system? only 33 km apart....
b.t.w... wat is known of tortajokul volcano Iceland...

The perfect time to ground all air travel over Europe.

Been watching
Island of La Palma ,Canary Islands

“The current event has been dubbed a 'seismic swarm', and while unusual, large numbers of these smaller tremours are not abnormal, the director of the IGN in the Canary Islands, María José Blanco, told Canarias7.
However, she added that they had "never recorded a similar swarm' since monitoring began on La Palma.”

YVO, has gotten a new scientist in charge as of September 1, 2017

On September 1, I succeeded Jake Lowenstern as the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory (YVO) Scientist-in-Charge. To say I have some big shoes to fill is an understatement. During his 15 years in the position, Jake oversaw the growth of YVO into a collaborative consortium of eight organizations, helped guide the expansion of geophysical and geochemical monitoring, encouraged (and also initiated!) a broad array of research, and tirelessly advocated for communicating and sharing the wonders of Yellowstone with the world. I can never replace Jake, but I hope to prove an effective steward of his efforts, and I will continue to advance the goal of improving our knowledge of the inner workings of Yellowstone as well as other volcanic systems in the United States and, indeed, around the world.

I have been following whatever updates i can on twitter and you know how ive gotten on ats, i suck at updating things here..

Jakes good bye letter..

August 30, 2017 Jacob Lowenstern, Scientist in Charge of YVO 2002-2017 (Click image to view full size.) This week I'm stepping down as the Scientist-in-Charge of the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory (YVO). I've held this role since 2002, and it's been an incredibly rewarding 15 years. Recently, I was offered the opportunity to lead the Volcano Disaster Assistance Program (VDAP), where I'll work with my USGS colleagues to assist volcano observatories in developing countries that face daunting volcanic risk. VDAP is a vibrant program created 31 years ago, and is arguably the premier team of volcano scientists on the globe.

Wow, I was poking around for some updates on the Bali Volcano situation, but surprised that nothing's been updated here since Oct.

Well has there been anything new about the Bali volcano, other than "the next few days"?
