Volcano

Researchers at the Alaska Volcano Observatory started seeing multiple earthquakes per minute below the summit of the state's Tanaga Volcano.

The last reported eruption of Tanaga was in 1914, the observatory said on Facebook. The island, located in the Andreanof Islands, is about 50 miles west of Adak and 1,260 miles southwest of Anchorage. An advisory alert means that a volcano is "exhibiting signs of elevated unrest above known background level," according to the USGS. This is the second of four levels that evening, the activity had escalated. Earthquake activity began to increase "slowly" under the volcano, which is located on an uninhabited island, at around 1:30 p.m.

A swarm of earthquakes have been recorded below the summit of a remote Alaska volcano, a possible indication of an impending eruption.

The last known eruption for Tanaga was in 1914. Sajaka had an older cone that collapsed into the North Pacific Ocean with a new cone that has emerged. The Aleutians are below the routes that jets fly between North America and Asia. There are no communities or structures there, but Adak, a city of about 170 residents on another island, is about 65 miles (105 kilometers) away and could see ashfall.

On Tuesday, the Alaska Volcano Observatory raised the alert level to “advisory."

That’s according to the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Hawaii and the National Tsunami Warning Center in Alaska.

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - A remote Alaska volcano is signaling a reawakening after a swarm of earthquakes were detected below the summit — but there’s no tsunami threat to Hawaii.

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) will host an informal open house on March 15th about the proposed new building in Hilo and draft Environmental Assessment.

HST, and a M3.1 earthquake 9 km (5 mi) SSE of Volcano at 29 km (18 mi) depth on March 3 at 3:22 a.m. HST, a M3.2 earthquake 0 km (0 mi) SSW of Volcano at 27 km (17 mi) depth on March 3 at 8:35 p.m. During the open house on March 15, we’ll have informative displays and USGS Project Team members will be present to answer your questions about the project. Information on how to review the draft environmental assessment for the new USGS building, and provide feedback, is available here: There were three earthquakes with 3 or more felt reports in the Hawaiian Islands during the past week: a M3.6 earthquake 3 km (1 mi) SSW of Pāhala at 34 km (21 mi) depth on March 8 at 1:01 p.m. Environmental Assessments evaluate the potential impacts of a project to the surrounding environment. Under the umbrella of USGS, both groups strive to better understand the complex natural world in the context of the policy and hazards posed. Many locals and visitors remember visiting Jaggar Museum on the rim of Kīlauea caldera (Kaluapele) in Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park. This will allow for more interactive work between scientists and will more opportunities for UHH faculty and students to collaborate with both HVO and PIERC. at the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) offices in the Iron Works building located at 1266 Kamehameha Avenue-Suite C in Hilo. Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park houses another USGS group—the Pacific Island Ecosystems Research Center (PIERC).

Alaskan officials raised the alert level to advisory status for the Tanaga Volcano after detecting hundreds of earthquakes over the past few weeks.
