2010-01-02 13:09:16 - Volcano Eruption - Democratic Republic of the Congo

EDIS CODE: VE-20100102-24396-COG
Date & Time: 2010-01-02 13:09:16 [UTC]
Area: Democratic Republic of the Congo, Virunga Mountains, Mount Nyamuragira Volcano,
!!! ALERT !!!
Not confirmed information!
Description:
A government official says a volcano has erupted in eastern Congo, sending lava toward a national park. Feller Lutahichirwa said Saturday that the Nyamulagira volcano had erupted at dawn. While the area where the lava was headed is sparsely populated, wildlife officials say it is home to about 40 endangered chimpanzees. Lutahichirwa says government observers are monitoring the situation with help from U.N. helicopters. The director of Virunga National Park says the eruption is "of great concern" and that rangers have been deployed to monitor the lava flow. Wildlife officials say fortunately no mountain gorillas are believed to live near the affected area. Virunga National Park is home to 200 of the world's 720 remaining mountain gorillas.

 

2010-01-02 13:07:36 - Volcano Activity - USA

EDIS CODE: VA-20100102-24395-USA
Date & Time: 2010-01-02 13:07:36 [UTC]
Area: USA, State of Alaska, Mount Redoubt Volcano,
Not confirmed information!
Description:
Alaskan volcano Mount Redoubt continues to rumble, as it has throughout 2009, leaving citizens to wonder when the "big blow" might come. Mount Redoubt has been showing signs of increased activity, and scientists are taking extra steps to ensure their monitoring networks are upgraded and ready to provide data. Geological experts said they expected the activity to continue for weeks or months back in March of this year, when it reportedly rumbled back to life after a long period of domancy. The last time the volcano was active was in 1989, when eruptions lasted 5 months. The alert level advisory for aviation was raised to yellow, in order to insure pilots didn't get caught up in any ash that might spew upwards. Scientists had noted a series of small earthquakes occurring on the mountain, and now they are becoming more powerful but less frequent. Mount Redoubt is 10,197 feet tall, and the biggest fear observers have at this point is that a lava dome that formed in the middle of the volcano will erupt.

 

2010-01-03 04:57:17 - Volcano Eruption - Colombia

EDIS CODE: VE-20100103-24400-COL
Date & Time: 2010-01-03 04:57:17 [UTC]
Area: Colombia, Department of Narino, Galeras Volcano,
Damage level: Moderate (Level 2)

Not confirmed information!
Description:
The Galeras volcano in southern Colombia erupted on Saturday, shooting rock and ash and prompting authorities to order the evacuation of about 8,000 people. No one was killed or injured in the eruption. But officials warned that the volcano could remain volatile. Galeras, located in the Andes mountains near Colombia's border with Ecuador, erupted 10 times in 2009. Most people living in the vicinity have grown used to the alerts and refuse to evacuate when ordered to by local authorities. Thousands of revelers celebrating the annual Black and White Carnival in the nearby city of Pasto were startled by Saturday's eruption but the festivities carried on. A massive eruption of the Galeras volcano killed 10 people in 1993.

 

2010-01-06 04:14:05 - Volcano Eruption - Costa Rica

EDIS CODE: VE-20100106-24447-CRI
Date & Time: 2010-01-06 04:14:05 [UTC]
Area: Costa Rica, Turrialba County, Turrialba Volcano,
Not confirmed information!
Description:
Costa Rica's Turrialba volcano erupted on Tuesday, spewing ash and rocks and forcing 21 people in its vicinity to evacuate their homes, the Volcano and Seismology Observatory said. "In the afternoon, we had a small eruption of the volcano with pyroclastic material, chiefly ash blown by the wind," observatory director Juan Segura said. The last time the 3,328-meter (10,918-foot) volcano erupted was in 2007, he added. Authorities issued an alert for the area surrounding the volcano, located 40 kilometres (25 miles) east of San Jose, and said 21 people were evacuated. Segura said that a team of vulcanologists would climb to the top of the volcano early Wednesday "to make an on-site assessment" of the volcano. The last major eruption of the Turrialba volcano was in 1856. It has had at least five major explosive eruptions in the last 3,500 years.

2010-01-11 05:19:37 - Volcano Eruption - Montserrat

EDIS CODE: VE-20100111-24512-MSR
Date & Time: 2010-01-11 05:19:37 [UTC]
Area: Montserrat, , Soufriere Hills Volcano,
Not confirmed information!
Description:
Large pyroclastic flows occurred at Soufriere Hills volcano at 2:49 pm on 8th January 2010. The pyroclastic flows were caused by a collapsing tephra column, similar to the events in the summer of 1997. The flows traveled northeast down Whites Bottom Ghaut and reached the sea. The flow which moved down Tuitts Ghaut stopped a few hundred metres from the sea. Pyroclastic flows also traveled northwest down Tyers Ghaut and into the Belham valley. The event lasted 11 minutes and was not preceded by seismic activity. Ashfall occurred on the northwestern side of the volcano. Residents said it was one of the largest eruptions they have witnessed at the volcano, since its reawakening in 1995. At 1:28 am on 10th January there was another explosion at the volcano. The seismic signal lasted 7 minutes. The eruption produced pyroclastic flows which traveled rapidly northeast down White Bottom and Tuitts Ghaut. Flows also moved northwest down Tyers Ghaut and down the Gages valley towards Plymouth. A third smaller explosion occurred at 8:27 pm on 10th January. Scientists don't believe there was a major collapse of the dome, but a significant amount of material was lost. Hazard level 4 remains in place around the volcano, which means there is no access allowed in zone C, and only daytime access to zone B.

แผ่นดินไหว แถบ Yellowstone น่าจับตามอง

Event: Earthquake
Location: USA State of Utah Yellowstone National Park

Situation: The swarm of earthquakes that started Sunday at Yellowstone National Park continued this morning and significantly intensified in magnitude Monday night. At 8:39 p.m. Monday, a magnitude 3.3 earthquake was recorded followed by a 3.0 at 9:42 p.m. So far today, quakes of 2.5, 2.6 and 2.7 have been recorded in the park.



As of 9:20 a.m. today, 424 earthquakes had been recorded in the swarm that started early Sunday,
ณ 9.20 a.m. วันนี้ แผ่นดินไหว 424 ครั้งถูกบันทึกไว้ เริ่มตั้งแต่เช้าวันอาทิตย์ที่ผ่านมา



according to Jamie Farrell, a doctoral student in geophysics at the University of Utah, which operates more than two dozen earthquake recording stations in the park. He said that seven people have told investigators they felt the 3.3 earthquake and another six the 3.0 quake. Farrell said the quakes are occurring in an area about 5 miles from where the largest swarm of quakes was ever recorded in October 1985. Prof. Robert B. Smith, a geophysicist at the University of Utah and one of the leading experts on earthquake and volcanic activity at Yellowstone, said that the activity is a "notable swarm." "The swarm is located about 10 miles northwest of Old Faithful, Wyo., and nine miles southeast of West Yellowstone, Montana," said Smith.

So far scientists monitoring the swarm say the tremors seem to be normal tectonic activity, and is "not an indication" that some sort of volcanic activity will occur.
นักวิทยาศาสตร์ได้เฝ้าดูแผ่นดินไหวครั้งนี้ โดยกล่าวว่า มันเป็นการเปลี่ยนแปลงของผิวโลกที่ทำให้เกิดแผ่นดินไหวแบบปกติ แล้วไม่ใช่ สัญญาณบ่งบอก ว่าจะมีภูเขาไฟระเบิดขึ้นมา



However, they continue to monitor the situation.



Farrell said there is absolutely no connection between what is occurring in Yellowstone and the magnitude 7.0 earthquake in Haiti. "They are completely different

systems,"



Farrell บอกว่า ไม่มีความเกี่ยวเนื่องใดๆ ระหว่าง Yellow Stone กับ แผ่นดินไหว 7.0 ริกเตอร์ ที่เฮติ "สองระบบนี้ต่างกันโดยสิ้นเชิง"



said Farrell. "They are not related." In late December 2008 and early January 2009, Yellowstone National Park experienced the second largest earthquake swarm in Yellowstone's recorded seismic history. The swarm under the north end of Yellowstone Lake consisted of 813 earthquakes with magnitudes ranging up to 3.9. The most devastating earthquake in recent history in the Yellowstone region occurred on Aug. 17, 1959, when a magnitude 7.3 earthquake hit. It was centered near Hebgen Lake, Mont., killed 28 people and caused more than $11 million in damage. Mike Stickney, director of earthquake studies at the Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology, said there is no way to predict when the next big one will hit.

Mike Stickny ผู้อำนวยการการศึกษาแผ่นดินไหวของ Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology กล่าวว่า ไม่มีทางใดเลยที่จะพยากรณ์ว่าเมื่อไหร่การระเบิดของภูเขาไฟจะเกิดขึ้นครั้งต่อไป



He said it will likely occur along one of the 45 faults that line two belts - one stretching from Yellowstone National Park up to Helena, Mont., and a second one along the Montana-Idaho border.




The Yellowstone Plateau is one of the largest super-volcanoes in the world and has gone through three volcanic cycles spanning two million years, which included some of the world's largest known eruptions.

<!-- Begin .post --> Yellowstone, Ice Age, Obama Dark Ages

Yellowstone National Park is volcanic in nature, yet not one cone or caldera is visible. In the 1960s, this mystery was finally solved: The entire park -- 2.2 million acres -- is the caldera. It's the largest active supervolcano on Earth.
Yellowstone เป็นภูเขาไฟ super ภูเขาไฟ ที่ยังมีชีวิตและใหญ่ที่สุดในโลก
Yellowstone started erupting about 17 million years ago, and it has a cycle of erupting roughly every 600,000 years. The last eruption was 630,000 years ago, so it's about 30,000 years past due on the next big one.
Yellowstone เริ่มปะทุประมาณ 17 ล้านปีที่ผ่านมา และมีรอบการปะทุประมาณทุกๆ 600,000 ปี และการปะทุครั้งก่อนคือประมาณ 630,000 ปีแล้ว คือประมาณ สามหมื่นปีเลยกำหนดปะทุครั้งใหญ่อีกหน


_TheStreet_via_ValueInvesting_via_SimoleonSense​

When Yellowstone supervolcano next erupts, "it's unlikely any humans within 700 miles of the park would survive. An area the size of New York State would have ash 67 feet deep. The aftermath probably would be worse, with no sunlight for years throughout the planet and much farmland rendered useless under mountains of ash." We know it will happen, we simply do not know when.

The same is true for the next ice age. We are currently roughly 12,000 years into the current inter-glacial period. Since inter-glacials typically last from 10,000 years to 25,000 years, we are either overdue for the next ice age (glaciation) or we have a bit of natural warming yet to experience before the next deadly age of ice descends. Science does not know, either way.

A global economy is a complex system, like the climate. Largely unpredictable, generally tolerant up to a point, the global economy will eventually shock even the most complacent economist, politician, or investor. The current global economic backlash should be taken as a warning to those responsible for national economies: "Clean up your act or suffer the consequences!"

China may be listening, Angela Merkel of Germany seems to be listening. But Putin is not, Obama is not, Kevin Rudd is not, Ahmedinejad is not. All of the clowns who are ignoring the impending eruption of this economic Mt. Doom were elected, after a fashion. Each has his own reasons for ignoring the warning signs and proceeding through the caution tape. Each country being led by these bozos will pay a severe penalty for the failure to heed the caution signals.

Look, globalization has created this interlocking fragility. At no time in the history of the universe has the cancellation of a Christmas order in New York meant layoffs in China. So for a while it created the illusion of stability, but it has created this devastating Black Swan.

Complex systems do not like debt. So it will proceed to destroy tens of trillions in debt until society rebuilds itself in an ultraconservative manner. We are in for a worse ride than people think.

People have the problem of denial. This is one of the things I learned in Lebanon. Everybody who left Beirut when the war started, including my parents, said, 'Oh, its temporary.' It lasted 17 years! People tend to underestimate the gravity of these situations. That's how they work.

Is this crisis going to last 17 years?

Unfortunately no, complex systems cascade much faster than that. However, the destruction will be deeper than people anticipate. It will bring down a lot of people.

My rosy scenario is that a better economic environment will develop, a low-debt, robust growth world, in which whatever is fragile will be allowed to break early and not late. _NicholasTalebWaPo_via_SimoleonSense​

But Mr. Obama's plan is different from that of Mr. Taleb. Rather than aiming toward a better economic environment and a robust growth world, Mr. Obama is aiming toward a world of "de-development."

...scarcity politics seeks to slow and even reverse material progress through what President Obama's science adviser, John Holdren, calls "de-development."

"De-development"--that is, the retreat from economic growth--includes some sensible notions about conservation but takes them to unreasonable, socially devastating and politically unpalatable extremes. The agenda, for example, includes an opposition to population growth, limits on material consumption and a radical redistribution of wealth both nationally and to the developing world. _Forbes​

The Obama club is the same club as the climate catastrophe club: the de-development club. Science is not involved, except to be twisted and exploited toward political ends. Never let a crisis go un-exploited. Mr. Obama's reasons for making a bad situation infinitely worse are his own.

The rest of the international bozo club also have their own individual reasons for ripping the guts out of the human future. Putin is out for the glory of greater Russia. Ahmedinejad is paving the way for the 12th imam. Rudd is another leftist zomboid with delusions of saving the Earth through correct ideology. Every bozo has his reasons.Labels: coming anarchy, volcanos, world economy

2010-02-12 04:15:08 - Volcano Eruption - Montserrat

EDIS CODE: VE-20100212-24904-MSR
Date & Time: 2010-02-12 04:15:08 [UTC]
Area: Montserrat, , Soufriere Hills Volcano,
Not confirmed information!
Description:

A volcano on Montserrat shot ash some nine miles (15 kilometers) into the sky Thursday, one of its most dramatic events since a devastating 1997 eruption that drove away half the Caribbean island's population. The partial collapse of the dome in the volcano's crater also unleashed flows of hot gas and rocks, triggering sirens for the evacuation of about 20 people from a nearby village. Paul Cole, director of the Montserrat Volcano Observatory, said it appeared to be the most material ejected by the volcano in about four years. He estimated 10 percent to 15 percent of the hardened lava dome had collapsed. "When we're looking at the lava dome now, there's a large scoop out of it that's missing," Cole said. The dome has crumbled several times since the volcano became active in 1995, and Cole said it is possible activity will settle down as the dome builds itself up again. He said there is no immediate cause for concern about more dangerous eruptions. The 1997 eruption killed 19 people and buried much of the island, including its former capital, Plymouth, which is now abandoned. Half the British territory's 12,000 inhabitants left.

In February 2010 ash emissions occurred on 41 occasions and reached a maximum height 200 m above the crater. On 28th February, lava avalanched 750 m from Jonggring Seloko crater. Between April 2009 and 1st March 2010 the activity at Semeru volcano changed to predominately ash emissions. Since 25th February 2010 lava avalanches have resumed at the volcano. People are advised to stay more than 4 km from the volcano on the SE side, and not approach the summit from other sides.

 

2010-03-06 04:49:56 - Volcano Activity - Iceland

EDIS CODE: VA-20100306-25218-ISL
Date & Time: 2010-03-06 04:49:56 [UTC]
Area: Iceland, , Eyjafjoll Volcano,
'!!! WARNING !!!
Not confirmed information!


Description:
An earthquake swarm began under Eyjafjoll volcano in January 2010. There was a 40 mm inflation of the volcano. At the beginning of March 2010 over 3000 earthquakes were measured in a 24 hour period, with a maximum at magnitude 3.1. The last eruptions at Eyjafjoll volcano were in 1821-23.

The subglacial Esjufjöll volcano at the SE part of the Vatnajökull icecap, north of Öraefajökull volcano, consists of the Snaehetta central volcano and a large caldera. Most of the volcano, including the 40 sq km caldera, is covered by the icecap, but parts of the SE flank are exposed in NW-SE-trending ridges. Most of the exposed rocks are mildly alkaline basalts, but small amounts of rhyolitic rocks are also present. A large jökulhlaup that came down the Jokulsa a Breidamerkursandi along the coast SE of Vatnajökull in the beginning of September 1927 was accompanied by a sulfur stench, and on one occasion, ash fall on the Breidamerkurjökull considered to have possibly originated from Esjufjöll. Although Holocene eruptions have not been confirmed from Esjufjöll, earthquake swarms that could indicate magma movements were detected in October, 2002.

 

Event: Volcano Eruption
Location: Montserrat Volcano Soufriére Hills Number of Evacuated: 70 person(s)


Situation: Passengers on board a flight to the Caribbean were amazed to see this huge plume of ash shoot up into the sky below them. The explosion of the Soufrière Hills volcano, on the island of Montserrat, sent a cloud bellowing up to 40,000ft. The stunning spectacle was first spotted by the pilot of a plane travelling to the island of St Lucia. He immediately alerted his passengers who dashed to the side of the 737 jet to catch a glimpse. The mushroom-shaped cloud went so high that it even caused some flights to nearby islands to be delayed because of the danger of ash getting into the engines. Mary Jo Penkala, who was flying with her partner Barry Steinfeld, grabbed her camera as soon as she saw the ash cloud. Miss Penkala, 49, a hairdresser, said: "We were up in the air and I noticed an unusual cloud formation above the regular lower clouds you see when you are flying at a high altitude. "The formation of the clouds looked very odd and I could see it was coming from an island. "I could see bursts of cloud that seemed to be forming layers so I grabbed a camera and started taking pictures.

"I had no idea what it was until the pilot told us all to look out of the window on the left of the plane because there was a volcano going off on the island of Montserrat. "He said he had been watching for a long time since it had started." Miss Penkala, from Calgary, Canada, said the 737 plane's passengers, who were flying from Toronto, rushed to the side of the aircraft to grab a view of the spectacular sight. She said because she was sitting on the left, passengers from the other side passed their cameras to her so she could grab some snaps. She added: "When we arrived at our resort in St Lucia everyone was talking about the volcano. "We heard that some flights to the island had been delayed because the volcanic ash in the air was dangerous for the engines of the plane. "Everyone who has seen the picture has been amazed. We were so lucky to see the volcano in all its glory. "It was certainly an interesting start to our vacation." The huge cloud of ash is thought to have been caused by the partial collapse of the volcano's lava dome. After a long period of dormancy, the Soufrière Hills volcano became active in 1995, and has continued to erupt ever since. Its eruptions have in the past rendered more than half of Montserrat uninhabitable, destroyed the capital city, Plymouth, and caused widespread evacuations.

In June 1982 British Airways Flight 9 flew into a cloud of volcanic ash thrown up by the eruption of Mount Galunggung, in Indonesia, resulting in the failure of all four engines. The Boeing 747, flying from London, was forced to glide as it fell 23,000 feet without power and some passengers wrote last notes to loved ones believing they would die. Captain Eric Moody made an announcement to the passengers that has since been described as "a masterpiece of understatement": He said: "Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your Captain speaking. We have a small problem. "All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control. I trust you are not in too much distress." Incredibly, after 12 minutes with no power the aircraft exited the ash cloud and all engines were restarted, allowing the aircraft to land safely.
