Hi all Colima volcano in Mexico has upped the ante with what sound like pyroclastic flows being funnelled in the direction of several villages. This is a...
Rob and all, Not just on Sunday. Colima again erupted to 30000ft last night (7th). To keep up to date on location of volcanic ash and other volcanoes that...
Hi all There is increasing evidence that the volcanic unrest at Colima is growing in size and power. A suggestion has been made in the article below that...
Hi all Do you get overhead satellites taking imagery of volcanoes, and if so (I am doing a remote sensing paper at university next semester), what sort of...
Rob, Yes, we use as much satellite info as possible, though we spend most of our time combing through geostationary imagery due to temporal resolution. NASA...
Hi all Scientists say that the Cassini space probe has spotted what appears to be a cryovolcano on the Saturn moon, Titan. Rob http://tinyurl.com/brdzv...
It amazes me that they are still bandying the term cryptovolcano at this day and age. Traditionally this has been used to denote a caldera-like structure ...

At least last night, you could find this in the Science sections of Yahoo News, Google News and CNN.com. ... It amazes me that they are still bandying the term...
Hi all Have a look at the link in the original post (tinyurl.com... - tinyurl.com is just an online converter of excessively long links that take more than one...
My apologies, The term was cryovolcano not cryptovolcano. There is a distinct difference between the two. Thanks for the info on tinylink. This is waht was...

Hi all Another explosion occurred at Colima on Friday. It followed a week of activity including large explosions on Wednesday. Rob http://tinyurl.com/8ja7o...
Scientists were hinting this week that the current eruption may have reversed into a very relaxed state. GPS units on the volcano stopped movement earlier...
Hi all Colima has quietened down briefly. However the threat of larger explosions and/or a general increase in activity to a level that poses a grave danger to...
... In all likely hood, no. This quake will not have an effect on MSH. I have several reasons for this. The quake was a confirmed strike-slip earthquake...
Hi all I have to agree with Nicole here. Subduction is crucial to volcanoes I think, because it provides a grinding interface over which friction can play and...
Well all that Rob said was good, I do also have to point out that the magma created to feed volcanoes on a subduction zone doesn't actually have much to do...
Hi all Some of these explosions are quite substantial. Nothing has appeared in the media here regarding this and I suspect as long as no one lives there, this...
Rob, What is really interesting about Anatahan's eruptions are the very short duration and the very weak siesmic signals. I was on duty during a quick...
Hi all NOTE: This is NOT intended to start a debate on morality or anything else along those lines, and I will shut down anything of that nature that does...
Hi all This is relatively minor in reality, when you consider that last week Anatahan spat material to 50,000ft. What would be more interesting from a...
Rob, Very minor... I wonder what made the news media jump on this one, as activity at Popo has been very weak with most fumerolic activity, especially compared...
Hi all Greg, do you not recall substantial activity at Popocatapetl in late 2000? Or was that non-explosive? I recall media saying something about the most...
... Yeah...it was explosive from 1995-2002 on a regular basis. Ie intermittent explosions for about one/two weeks every 2-3 months. 2003 started the quiet...
Hi all "2003 started the quiet phase and in 2004, there were no "significant" ash hiccups as it was the first time in years that we did not issue one single...
Hey just a note to any in the US or any American in the group, wishing everyone a happy, healthy and safe Fourth of July. Get out and enjoy the fireworks! ...
Thank you :-) The nation's 229th Birthday! This goes beyond fireworks. Its a time for Americans to remember what the founding of this nation was all about....

Hi all A plume of volcanic material or ocean bed sediment stirred up by renewed volcanism has been spotted off Iwo Jima. Rob http://tinyurl.com/eygrz...
