SEMERU VOLCANO ERUPTS TO 63,000 FT (19.2KM) — GLOBAL COOLING
Following Semeru’s powerful pop to 46,000 ft (14 km) on May 17, the Volcanic Ash Advisory Center (VAAC) Darwin has seemingly now confirmed a second thick volcanic ash plume, this one rising to a staggering 64,000 ft (19.2 km) during the early hours of June 10.

The eruption also appears to have been confirmed by both the HIMAWARI-8 as well as volcanodiscovery.com, and if the sources are correct, it would have produced a huge stratospheric injection of potentially Plinian proportions — one of the largest eruptions of the last decade, likely a VEI 5.

Particulates ejected to altitudes above 32,800 feet (10km) –and into the stratosphere– have a direct cooling effect on the planet.

Volcanic eruptions are one of the key forcings driving Earth into its next bout of global cooling, with their worldwide uptick tied to low solar activity, coronal holes, a waning magnetosphere, and the influx of Cosmic Rays penetrating silica-rich magma.

In addition to Indonesia popping off, Icelandic volcanoes are also awakening, and it is this highly-volcanic region of the the world that is thought will be home to the next “big one” — the one that will return us almost instantly into a big freeze.

Katla is the latest volcano here to show signs of stirring, and has experienced sizable out-gassing over the past few days. Furthermore, seismic activity under the large ice-covered volcano has also increased, and this activity is likely caused by injections of new magma entering the chamber.

Icelandic authorities are aware of the dangers the next eruption of Katla represents, and a delegation of the volcanologists routinely meet with the Icelandic Parliament to discuss how to respond in the case of an eruption, an eventuality that is merely a matter of when, not if.

Alert raised for Laguna del Maule volcano - its last eruption took place some 2 000 years ago, Chile
According to the information provided by OVDAS - SERNAGEOMIN, the technical alert level for the Laguna del Maule Volcanic Complex was raised to Yellow on June 18, 2020. The parameters of the volcano are unstable and above the base threshold, suggesting an eruption could develop in the weeks and months ahead.

Authorities reported that they have identified at least 30 individual eruption centers with an important record of eruptions during the last 25 000 years.

Although there were no eruptions at the complex over the past 2 000+ years, the data obtained with instrumental monitoring (eg. constant deformation in the past 10 years) ratify that this is an active volcanic system.

Swarms of small-magnitude volcano-tectonic earthquakes, commonly associated with fracturing of rocky material, were detected on June 11, 13, and 16 southwest of the Maule Lagoon (Las Nieblas sector).

In addition, field data collected over the past couple of months show CO2 emissions in the same sector.

"In summary, and although the registered seismic events are energetically low, this seismic process stands out for the persistence in its occurrence and location, which added to the found gas anomaly and constant deformation, and allowed us to consider that the volcanic complex is above its base level," Chile's National Office of Emergency of the Interior Ministry (ONEMI) said.

Based on the technical information provided by SERNAGEOMIN and in coordination with the ONEMI Regional Directorate, the Maule Region officials declared a Yellow Alert for the San Clemente, effective June 18 and until conditions warrant.

The Civil Protection System recommends applying preventive restrictions on access around the passive CO2 degassing center, with a radius of 2 km (1.2 miles).

Pacaya erupting again.
It's been a little while since the last episode.

Nyiragongo has activated.
Evacuations are a bit urgent.
