For the entirety of 2019, strong explosive activity has been occurring at Shiveluch Volcano (Kamchatka, Russia) regularly ejecting particulates into the stratosphere and cooling the planet.
Shiveluch’s latest eruptions occurred on October 22 and 23, when the HIMAWARI-8 (Japan’s geostationary weather satellite) observed thick columns of ash rising to an estimated 36,000 ft (11 km) a.s.l., and moving at 65 kts in a N direction.
Particulates ejected to altitudes above 32,800 feet (10 km) often linger in the stratosphere where they have a direct cooling effect on the planet.
Stratovolcano: 3283 m / 10,771 ft
Kamchatka, Russia: 56.65°N / 161.36°E
Current status: ERUPTING (4 out of 5)
Shiveluch volcano is highly explosive and has a recent eruptive history littered with VEI 4s and 5s. It’s known for large pyroclastic flows, and as one of Kamchatka’s largest and most active volcanoes.
Eruption list: 1739(?), 1800(?), 1854 (Plinian eruption), 1879-83, 1897-98, 1905, 1928-29, 1930, 1944-50, 1964 (sub-Plinian, large dome collapse and debris flow), 1980-81, 1984, 1985, 1986-88, 1988, 1989 1990-94, 1997, 1998, 1999, 1999-ongoing
UPTICK
Seismic and Volcanic activity has been correlated to changes in our sun.
The recent global uptick in earthquakes and volcanic eruptions is likely attributed to the drop-off in solar activity, coronal holes, a waning magnetosphere, and the influx of Cosmic Rays penetrating silica-rich magma.
