Alaska , Shishaldin :
AVO/USGS Volcanic Activity Notice
Current Volcano Alert Level: WATCH
Current Aviation Color Code: ORANGE
Issued: Saturday, September 23, 2023, 12:28 PM AKDT
Source: Alaska Volcano Observatory
Notice Number: 2023/A1415
Location: N 54 deg 45 min W 163 deg 58 min
Elevation: 9373 ft (2857 m)
Area: Aleutians
Volcanic Activity Summary:
The level of unrest has increased at Shishaldin Volcano. Seismic tremor has increased significantly over the past 36 hours. No strongly elevated temperatures indicative of lava at the surface or ash emissions have accompanied the elevated seismicity at this time, although the volcano is obscured by clouds. Based on previous episodes of activity, eruptive activity in the form of lava fountaining and ash emissions is possible within hours. If geophysical or remote sensing signals intensify, the Alaska Volcano Observatory will issue further notices of volcanic activity.
Recent significant ash events during the current eruption resulted in ash clouds with heights up to 40,000 ft (12 km) above sea level. These events can occur with little warning. It is also possible that ash emissions may occur at a lower-level, steady state and be sustained for many hours. AVO is monitoring the volcano closely and will issue additional Volcanic Activity Notice’s to provide notice of significant changes in activity as they occur.
Shishaldin Volcano is monitored by local seismic and infrasound sensors, web cameras, and a telemetered geodetic network. In addition to the local monitoring network, AVO uses nearby geophysical networks, regional infrasound and lighting data, and satellite images to detect eruptions.

Current Volcano Alert Level: WATCH
Current Aviation Color Code: ORANGE
Issued: Saturday, September 23, 2023, 6:11 PM AKDT
Volcanic Activity Summary:
Seismic tremor has continued to increase over the day at Shishaldin Volcano and geophysical signals suggest low-level eruptive activity is likely occurring with the summit crater. Based on previous episodes of activity, this activity may culminate in more significant lava fountaining and ash emissions within hours. However, no strongly elevated temperatures indicative of lava at the surface or ash emissions have accompanied the elevated seismicity thus far. The volcano is mostly obscured by clouds between 2,000 and 15,000 ft above sea level, which preclude observations of possible low-level activity. However, regional infrasound sensors have detected some signals from the direction of Shishaldin that suggest minor eruptive activity within the summit crater may been occurring. If geophysical or remote sensing signals intensify or a significant eruption begins, the Alaska Volcano Observatory will issue further notices of volcanic activity.

VOLCANO OBSERVATORY NOTICE FOR AVIATION (VONA)
Issued: September 24 , 2023.
Volcano: Klyuchevskoy (CAVW #300260)
Current aviation colour code: YELLOW
Previous aviation colour code: orange
Source: KVERT
Notice Number: 2023-104
Volcano Location: N 56 deg 3 min E 160 deg 38 min
Area: Kamchatka, Russia
Summit Elevation: 4750 m (15580 ft)
Volcanic Activity Summary:
The summit explosive-effusive eruption of the volcano continues. Against the background of explosive activity of the Strombolian type (lava fountaining in the volcanic crater), a lava flow continues to effuse along the Kozyrevsky chute on the southwestern slope of the volcano. Satellite data by KVERT showed a thermal anomaly over the volcano. KVERT continues to monitor Klyuchevskoy volcano.
The summit explosive-effusive eruption of the volcano continues. Ash explosions up to 6 km (19,700 ft) a.s.l. could occur at any time. Ongoing activity could affect low-flying aircraft.

Indonesia , Ibu :
Mount Ibu exhibited an eruption on Saturday September 23, 2023 at 11:36 p.m. WIT with the height of the ash column observed at ±600 m above the summit (±1925 m above sea level). The ash column was observed to be gray with thick intensity, oriented towards the North. This eruption was recorded on a seismograph with a maximum amplitude of 28 mm and a duration of 53 seconds.

Surface activity level: High, Surface trend: No changes
Internal activity level: Moderate, Internal trend: No changes
Seismicity: From September 22, 2023, 11:00 a.m. to September 23, 2023, 11:00 a.m.:
The following table shows the number of seismic events from the reference station in the last 24 hours.
Explosion (EXP) 49
Long Period (LP) 11
Transmitting Tremor (TREMI) 2
Harmonic Tremor (TRARM) 2
Rains / Lahars:
There are no reports of rain. “In the event of heavy rains, these could remobilize the accumulated materials, generating mud and debris flows which would flow down the flanks of the volcano and flow into adjacent rivers.”
Emissions/ash column:
Yesterday, in the afternoon and evening, thanks to the cameras, nine gas and ash emissions were recorded, with heights between 300 and 1000 meters above the level of the crater, with directions mainly towards the North West. Since the beginning of today until the publication of this report, two gas and ash emissions have been recorded with heights less than 500 meters above the crater level in a northwest direction.
Other monitoring parameters:
The FIRMS satellite system recorded 3 thermal anomalies, while the MIROVA-MODIS satellite system recorded 1 weak thermal anomaly and the MIROVA-VIIRS satellite system recorded 1 weak thermal anomaly, during the last 24 hours.
Observation:
During last night and early today, several episodes of incandescence were recorded at the crater with material falling on the eastern flank of the volcano.
Since yesterday afternoon and until the publication of this report, the volcano has remained mostly cloudy.
Alert level: Orange.

Colombia , Cumbal :
Weekly activity bulletin from the Cumbal Volcanic Complex (CVC)
Regarding the monitoring of the activity of the CUMBAL VOLCANIC COMPLEX, the MINISTRY OF MINES AND ENERGY, through the COLOMBIAN GEOLOGICAL SERVICE (SGC), reports that:
During the period evaluated between September 12 and 18, 2023, compared to the previous week, seismicity slightly increased its occurrence and energy, maintaining low levels of activity.
Earthquakes associated with fracturing of rocks within the volcanic system predominated. Most of them were located near the craters of La Plazuela (northeast of the CVC) and Mundo Nuevo (southwest of it), with depths less than 2 km relative to height from the La Plazuela crater (4,700 m above sea level). Gas emissions were recorded in the neighboring areas of the craters of La Plazuela and Mundo Nuevo, and white columns were observed, of low height and tending mainly towards the North-West due to the action of the winds. No significant variation was observed in the other geophysical and geochemical parameters of volcanic monitoring.
The state of alert for volcanic activity remains at:
YELLOW ALERT: Active volcano with changes in the behavior of the base level of monitored parameters and other manifestations
