Shishaldin volcano (Aleutian Islands, Alaska): alert level lowered to green/normal
Saturday Mar 12, 2016 09:00 AM | BY: T
The alert level was lowered back to normal status. Detectable activity (visible observations and satellite-based data) has been decreasing steadily of the past several months, the Alaska Volcano Observatory reported:
"There has been a steady decrease in detected thermal activity at Shishaldin over the past several months. No anomalous activity has been observed in several clear satellite images of Shishaldin since moderately elevated surface temperatures were detected on Jan. 13. Airwaves associated with low-level explosive degassing have not been detected in infrasound data since Feb. 7.
Low-amplitude seismic tremor consistent with an open, degassing system continues to be seen in seismic data and is considered to be within the bounds of background activity for Shishaldin. AVO is therefore downgrading the status of Shishaldin Volcano from aviation color code YELLOW to GREEN and from volcano alert level ADVISORY to NORMAL."
