Volcano activity

Several volcanoes shivering (and possibly erupting!) with volcanic earthquakes and tremor today.

In Mexico, eruptive activity remains reduced at Popocatepetl, but volcanic tremor is visible on the latest Popo seismogram.

In Guatemala, volcanic tremor is again evident on seismograms from Pacaya volcano (station PCG), while much stronger tremor at nearby Fuego volcano suggests enhanced eruptive activity there. (station FG3)

In Colombia, enhanced tremor occurred overnight at Nevado Del Ruiz volcano (station OLLE). Tremor at the volcano has since subsided to low levels.

Also in Colombia, volcanic earthquakes have become more numerous (or at least more visible) at Sotara volcano in the past 24 hours. (station SOSO)

Satellite data suggests a large (or at least a larger than normal eruption) at Karymsky volcano (Kamchatka Peninsula) this morning. Karymsky has produced almost daily outbursts since at least the 1970′s.
