Wow... That geyser just doesn't slow down.... From the scroller, they are keeping an eye on SO2 and CO2 to try to predict when this is going to slow down. So far? Still going strong.

I’ve watched a few of bushcraft bear’s videos, seems to be doing a good job of “man on the ground” reporting. You can tell he’s rattled by his home turf blowing up under his feet and he goes to the north end of the island to be where he feels in a safe zone. If the uplift there turns into something it will be upsetting and I can see most of the rest of the population evacuating.

A handful of earthquakes 10km and under within the last 24 hours hours. Some were only 6km deep. Scrolling back 3 days and I saw maybe 1 or 2 other earthquakes around 9km.


Also 4.0 mbLg earthquakes are happening more frequently too.

I've been looking at the earthquake data every day, and it's true the window of magnitudes have been increasing, and it seems the depths have been getting shallower.

Based on my quick Wikipedia research, it seems shallower earthquakes can be linked to eventual hydrothermic explosions of water being pressured under the earth. Not sure what those look like though.

I've also noticed that science doesn't know a lot about volcanoes.

A 10cm rise around the northern volcano does not sound like positive thing. Plates adjusting to the magma chambers emptying around the active volcano?

I'm a rather skeptical of this one, I would expect a 10cm lift on that end of the island to be accompanied by earthquakes, and I'm not seeing much of anything on that end of the island.

Saw that earlier. I'll look at the quake data and see if there's anything which indicates magma fill north of the ongoing eruption.

ETA:

Couple of earthquakes trending towards the caldera, and station LPAL (north of the caldera) shows about 10mm of sustained rise over the past few days. The other stations showing uplift (LP03 and LP04) haven't decreased much in the same time period, so my at-the-moment SWAG is that magma is slowly moving north - possibly expanding the chamber due to melt.

I'm definitely going to keep a watch on it, including the gas levels.

SO2 in large quantities is indicative of magma coming from the upper chamber, while higher CO2 means the source is lower. I saw the SO2 output drop to half of what is has been yesterday, so off to dig up some ratio data (assuming I can find it).

If anyone knows of a site that's showing gas monitoring data for the current eruption, please link it. Specifically, CO2, H2O and SO2 emissions per day.

Can't seem to find what I'm after on INVOLCAN or IGN's sites, though they have lots of other useful information.

That'll work. Posting from my mobile at present but when I get in front of a PC I'll run that site through a translator and see if they have what I need.

More ash production is related to more CO2 and H2O in the magma, and higher silica content (increased viscosity).

May be beginning to see more crust material melt instead of pure plume material reaching the surface. Magma mixing.

ETA:

I think it was linked in the thread, but IGN commented that this sequence appeared to be completely plume-driven; the magma being erupted was from within the mantle (primarily basalt) and not from a chamber where lots of crust has been melted (dacitic or rhyolitic composition). The material must be fairly hot in order to rise with sufficient force and speed to fracture the rift and begin the eruption.

It goes without saying that material this hot is going to melt some crust if there's enough thermal flux (from continual plume magma resupply) so you'll get an occasional change in character of the eruption.

La Palma doesn't seem to have a history of Plinian eruptions that I can find, so it's possible the system empties itself before large-volume melt and mixing can occur. Makes sense with a chamber that's more flattened than spherical, which is what the models indicate.
