SEISMICITY of the VOLCANIC AREAS of KAMCHATKA in 2018–2019

The results of near real-time monitoring of the active Kamchatka volcanoes are described. Continuous monitoring was carried out using three remote methods: 1) seismic monitoring according to automatic telemetric seismic stations; 2) visual and video observation; 3) satellite observation of the thermal anomalies and the ash clouds. Daily information about volcanic activity is published in the Internet (http://www.emsd.ru/ ~ssl/monitoring/main.htm) since February 2000. The results of seismic activity of the Northern (Shiveluch, Kluchevskoy, Bezymianny, Krestovsky and Ushkovsky), Avacha (Avachinsky and Koryaksky), MutnovskyGorely volcano group and Kizimen, Zhupanovsky, Karymsky and Kambalny volcanoes for 2018–2019 are presented. Within two years 29199 earthquakes with KS=1.6–10.1 were located for Northern volcano group, 714 earthquakes with KS=1.6–7.6 – for Avacha volcano group, 247 earthquakes with KS=1.7–7.3 – Mutnovsky-Gorely volcano group, 116 earthquakes with KS=2.6–8.7 for Kizimen volcano, 315 earthquakes with KS=2.2–10.9 for Zhupanovsky volcano, five earthquakes with KS=6.2–8.3 for Kambalny volcano and four earthquakes with KS=5.2–6.7 for Karymsky volcano. Maps of epicenters, quantities of seismic energy and earthquake distribution according to class are given. All periods of activity were fixed and investigated by remote methods in 2018–2019: intensive volcanic activity of Sheveluch volcano associated with new cone, two paroxysmal explosive eruptions of Bezymianny volcano and the summit explosive-effusive eruptions of Kluchevskoy volcano.

Amp-TB2 Protocol and Its Application to Amphiboles from Recent, Historical and Pre-Historical Eruptions of the Bezymianny Volcano, Kamchatka

This article reports a protocol on the application of Amp-TB2 (single-amphibole thermobarometry) based on detailed electron-microprobe analyses performed on homogeneous natural standards and synthetic glasses, and amphibole crystals (mostly phenocrysts) of volcanic products erupted by the Bezymianny volcano during its activity through time. The application of this protocol is facilitated by a new version of the model (Amp-TB2.1.xlsx) including an equation to identify heterogeneous domains (disequilibrium; not suitable for thermobarometric constraints) and homogenous (equilibrium) zones within amphibole crystals, which can be used to quantify the physicochemical parameters (i.e., pressure, P; temperature, T; volatile content in the melt, H2Omelt; oxygen fugacity, fO2) of “steady-state” magmatic crystallization. Application examples of the protocol, showing detailed core–rim microprobe data and physicochemical parameter variations in representative amphibole phenocrysts of the Bezymianny are also reported. The depth (and P) estimated by Amp-TB2.1 for this volcano are compared to seismic tomography results. Amp-TB2.1 results mainly show (1) that the Bezymianny is characterized by a very dynamic feeding system where the magma is stored at shallow crustal levels before recent activity periods characterized by climatic events and (2) that the pre-eruptive depth of magma storage generally increases with the age of the investigated products.

Magmatic activity of Klyuchevskoy volcano triggering eruptions of Bezymianny volcano based on seismological and petrological data

The Frac-Digger method based on seismological data of the Kamchatka Branch Federal Research Center United Geophysical Survey Russia Academy of Sciences (KB FRC UGS RAS) was applied to reveal the 3D distribution and chronology of injections of dykes and sills from the deep and shallow magma chambers of Klyuchevskoy volcano preceding the eruptions of Bezymianny volcano during period from 2000 to 2020. The orientation of magma injections (dykes and sills) and mechanisms of volcano-tectonic earthquakes reveal radial horizontal extensional stress conditions in volcanic structures and sometimes local radial compression around magma chambers. Geochemical history of eruption samples shows the parentage of Klyuchevskoy magma for Bezymianny volcano products, tracing magma transport patterns. The result is a 3D conceptual model of the magma-feeding system of Bezymianny volcano from Klyuchevskoy volcano.

Дистанционные методы наблюдений за извержениями вулканов Шивелуч и Безымянный

В работе представлен анализ дистанционных методов наблюдения при извержениях вулканов Шивелуч и Безымянный, сопровождавшихся импульсным электромагнитным излучением естественного происхождения (ИЭИ) в ОНЧ-диапазоне (3-30 кГц), начиная с 2016 года. По данным Камчатского филиала Федерального исследовательского центра «Единая геофизическаяnслужба РАН» (КФ ФИЦ ЕГС РАН) был составлен каталог наиболее сильных событий на вулканах Шивелуч и Безымянный за указанный период, из которых было отобрано 68 извержений вулкана Шивелуч и 13 извержений вулкана Безымянный, сопровождавшихся электромагнитными импульсами, зарегистрированными ОНЧ-пеленгатором, что говорит о том, что извержения привели к образованию «грязных» гроз. Наличие грозовой активности в пепло-газовом облаке при извержении вулканов отслеживается при помощи радиотехнических средств мониторинга, расположенных в районах р. Карымшина, п. Козыревск, п. Крутоберегово. Сценарий развития события имеет двухстадийный характер. Первая стадия увеличения ИЭИ сопровождается образованием эруптивной колонны, зависит от мощности взрыва и высоты пеплового выброса, вторая стадия зависит от мощности извержения и длительности распространения облака. Спутниковые данные подтверждают информацию о перемещении эруптивного облака, сопровождающегося последовательными молниевыми разрядами, трассируя траекторию его движения. Также дано предварительное описание событий вулканов Безымянный и Шивелуч, произошедших в апреле 2023 года сопровождающихся пепловыми выбросами высотой до 20 и 30 км соответственно. The paper presents the analysis of remote methods for observations during Shiveluch and Bezymianny volcano eruptions accompanied by natural pulse electromagnetic radiation (PER) in VLF range (3-30 kHz) from 2016. Based on the data of Kamchatka Branch of the Federal Research Center «Geophysical Survey RAS» (KB FRC GS RAS) [18], a catalogue of the strongest events on Shiveluch and Bezymianny volcanoes was made for the indicated period. 68 eruptions of Shiveluch volcano and 13 eruptions of Bezymianny volcano were selected as they were recorded by the VLF direction finder and accompanied by electromagnetic pulses that indicates that the eruptions caused «dirty» thunderstorm occurrences. Lightning activity in the ash-gas clouds during the volcanic eruptions was traced by radio technical monitoring means installed in the regions of Karymshina river, Kozyrevsk and Krutoberegovo villages. The scenario of event development has a two-stage character. The first stage of PER increase is accompanied by eruptive column formation and depends on burst power and ash ejection height. The second stage depends on eruption power and cloud propagation duration. Satellite data confirm the information on the motion of eruptive clouds accompanies by successive lightning strokes tracing the trajectory of their propagation. We also give preliminary description of Bezymianny and Shiveluch volcanoes events occurred in April 2023 and accompanied by ash ejections of the height up to 20 and 30 km, respectively.

Sulfide Mineralization in Pyrometamorphosed Upper Crustal Xenoliths, Bezymianny Volcano, Kamchatka

Bezymianny volcano supply on the surface numerous xenoliths, revealing the composition of the crust containing the magmatic system and the processes occurring within it. In this study, we present data on the xenoliths from the upper crust that were partially melted and recrystallized (pyrometamorphosed) in the shallow chamber of Bezymianny volcano. Some xenoliths contain relics of primary igneous associations, and some contain relics of prepyrometamorphic hydrothermally alteration. Thus, protoliths of pyrometamorphosed rocks could be reconstructed, and hydrothermal processes could be determined for rocks previously altered with fluids. The most common xenoliths are moderate-K andesites, basaltic andesites, and basalts from Kamen and Bezymianny volcanoes. During pyrometamorphism, a new microgranoblastic paragenesis forms, consisting of homogenous pyroxenes, plagioclase, and Fe-Ti oxides, sometimes surrounded by glass. Xenoliths of plateau basalts from the Klyuchevskaya group of volcanoes (high-K trachyandesitic basalts) are less common. Some of plateau basalt xenoliths contain trace of quartz-carbonate-sulfide mineralization, which was formed before the capture of xenoliths and their pyrometamorphism. A hydrothermally altered rock was melted and recrystallized after xenoliths were captured by magma, resulting in a Fe-wollastonite-hedenbergite association (sometimes with garnet), which is not typical for Bezymianny. The copper content of these xenoliths is anomalously high (up to 1500 ppm).

Petrophysical and Strength Properties of Extrusive Rocks of the Bezymianny Volcano, Kamchatka

For the first time, the results of petrophysical studies of the Bezymianny volcano extrusive rocks from dacites to andesites are presented. A comparative characteristic of the extrusive rocks properties is given according to the selected age groups. The dynamics of changes in the properties of extrusion rocks depending on their age is shown: it is established that the older the rocks, the higher the indicators of their density, strength and elastic properties. The petrophysical features of the rocks of the extrusive domes and lava flows are compared. The applicability of petrophysical properties to clarify the genesis of rocks similar in petrographic characte-ristics, in particular, of extrusive and effusive origin, is substantiated.

Deciphering the Whisper of Volcanoes: Monitoring Velocity Changes at Kamchatka's Klyuchevskoy Group With Fluctuating Noise Fields

AbstractVolcanic inflation and deflation often precede eruptions and can lead to seismic velocity changes () in the subsurface. Recently, interferometry on the coda of ambient noise‐cross‐correlation functions yielded encouraging results in detecting these changes at active volcanoes. Here, we analyze seismic data recorded at the Klyuchevskoy Volcanic Group in Kamchatka, Russia, between summer of 2015 and summer of 2016 to study signals related to volcanic activity. However, ubiquitous volcanic tremors introduce distortions in the noise wavefield that cause artifacts in the estimates masking the impact of physical mechanisms. To avoid such instabilities, we propose a new technique called time‐segmented passive image interferometry. In this technique, we employ a hierarchical clustering algorithm to find periods in which the wavefield can be considered stationary. For these periods, we perform separate noise interferometry studies. To further increase the temporal resolution of our results, we use an AI‐driven approach to find stations with similar responses and apply a spatial stack. The impacts of snow load and precipitation dominate the resulting time series, as we demonstrate with the help of a simple model. In February 2016, we observe an abrupt velocity drop due to the M7.2 Zhupanov earthquake. Shortly after, we register a gradual velocity increase of about 0.3% at Bezymianny Volcano coinciding with surface deformation observed using remote sensing techniques. We suggest that the inflation of a shallow reservoir related to the beginning of Bezymianny's 2016/2017 eruptive cycle could have caused this local velocity increase and a decorrelation of the correlation function coda.

Temporal changes of seismic velocities below Bezymianny volcano prior to its explosive eruption on 20.12.2017

The strong explosive eruption of Bezymianny volcano (Klychevskoy volcano group) occurred on 21 December 2017, the preparation phases of which were recorded by a local seismic network. Applying methods of estimation of seismic velocity changes based on cross-correlation of ambient noise, we obtained different velocity variations at several passbands before the eruption. In order to explain the observations obtained, we performed qualitative mechanical estimates of stress changes resulting from the migration of the pressure source. The obtained and estimated velocity changes have the same patterns. We propose that observed and evaluated velocity changes are caused by fluids migration from mid-crustal magma reservoir of the Bezymianny volcano to the shallow magma chamber that then triggered the eruption.

Inflating Shallow Plumbing System of Bezymianny Volcano, Kamchatka, Studied by InSAR and Seismicity Data Prior to the 20 December 2017 Eruption

Explosive eruptions at steep-sided volcanoes may develop with complex precursor activity occurring in a poorly-understood magma plumbing system so that timelines and possible interactions with the geologic surrounding are often unresolved. Here we investigate the episode prior to the energetic December 20, 2017 eruption at Bezymianny volcano, Kamchatka. We compare degassing activity inferred from time-lapse camera images, seismicity and real-time seismic amplitude (RSAM) data derived from a temporary station network, as well as high-resolution InSAR displacement maps. Results show that the first changes can be identified in low-frequency seismicity and degassing at least 90 days before the eruption, while the first volcano-tectonic (VT) seismicity occurred 50 days before the eruption. Coinciding with significant changes of the RSAM, surface displacements affect the volcanic flanks at least 9 days prior to the eruption. Inversion modeling of the pre-eruptive surface deformation as well as deflation-type, co-eruptive surface changes indicate the presence of a shallow and transient reservoir. We develop a conceptual model for Bezymianny volcano initiating with deep seismicity, followed by shallow events, rockfalls, steaming and an inflating reservoir. The eruption is then associated with subsidence, caused by deflation of the same reservoir. This sequence and conceivable causality of these observations are providing a valuable contribution to our understanding of the shallow magma plumbing system beneath Bezymianny and may have relevance for volcano monitoring and early warning strategies at similar volcanoes elsewhere.

Petrological evidence of rapid evolution of the magma plumbing system of Bezymianny volcano in Kamchatka before the December 20th, 2017 eruption

We used petrological data on samples of the December 20th, 2017 eruption of the Bezymianny volcano (Kamchatka, Russia) to investigate the evolution of the magmatic system during the repose period and the following reactivation of the volcano. The eruptive products are diverse in bulk rock and matrix glass compositions, but are similar in phenocryst proportion, composition, and zoning. Three rock types are distinguished by the presence of either silica-phase (cristobalite or tridymite) or their absence. Rocks without silica phase (Silica-phase Free Host Rocks) are characterized by ~55–56 wt% bulk SiO2 content and have predominantly glassy groundmass with rare microlites in dacitic matrix glass (65.5–70.5 wt% SiO2 and 2.5–3.5 wt% K2O). Cristobalite-bearing rocks are characterized by ~56.6–57.5 wt% bulk silica content and highly crystalline groundmass with many small microlites and rhyolitic matrix glass (76.5–78 wt% SiO2 and 3.8–4.2 wt% K2O) between them. Tridymite-bearing rocks are characterized by ~58.8 wt% bulk silica content and glassy groundmass with rare microlites in rhyolitic matrix glass (77–77.5 wt% SiO2 and ~3.6 wt% K2O).Rhyolite-MELTS simulation and mineral thermobarometry indicate that silica-phase-bearing rock last equilibrated under low-pressure conditions (~15 Mpa) corresponding to the conduit depths, whereas rocks without silica phase crystallized at higher pressure corresponding to shallow magma storage depths (>40–60 Mpa). Bulk rock mass-balance calculations indicate that silica-phase-bearing magmas were produced by 15% of crystal fractionation from the magma without silica phase. Based on this petrological data, we reconstruct the evolution of the magmatic system as follows. During the volcano repose period, undisturbed magma fractionated and stratified due to buoyant ascent of fluid and melt to the chamber roof. Rejuvenation of magmatic system caused pushing the differentiated magma from the top magmatic reservoir to the conduit, where silica phases crystallized. We argue that cristobalite-bearing rocks are likely the remnants of conduit plug, whereas tridymite-bearing rocks represent magma trapped in the conduit under the plug. The renewal of explosive activity in December 2017 was triggered by magma influx from deeper levels of the plumbing system shortly before the explosion, which is supported by the presence of amphibole-bearing mafic enclaves of mid-crustal origin (520–850 Mpa).

Thermal remote sensing reveals communication between volcanoes of the Klyuchevskoy Volcanic Group

Volcanoes are traditionally considered isolated with an activity that is mostly independent of the surrounding, with few eruptions only (< 2%) associated with a tectonic earthquake trigger. Evidence is now increasing that volcanoes forming clusters of eruptive centers may simultaneously erupt, show unrest, or even shut-down activity. Using infrared satellite data, we detail 20 years of eruptive activity (2000–2020) at Klyuchevskoy, Bezymianny, and Tolbachik, the three active volcanoes of the Klyuchevskoy Volcanic Group (KVG), Kamchatka. We show that the neighboring volcanoes exhibit multiple and reciprocal interactions on different timescales that unravel the magmatic system’s complexity below the KVG. Klyuchevskoy and Bezymianny volcanoes show correlated activity with time-predictable and quasiperiodic behaviors, respectively. This is consistent with magma accumulation and discharge dynamics at both volcanoes, typical of steady-state volcanism. However, Tolbachik volcano can interrupt this steady-state regime and modify the magma output rate of its neighbors for several years. We suggest that below the KVG the transfer of magma at crustal level is modulated by the presence of three distinct but hydraulically connected plumbing systems. Similar complex interactions may occur at other volcanic groups and must be considered to evaluate the hazard of grouped volcanoes.

Bayesian Monitoring of Seismo-Volcanic Dynamics

Methods for volcano monitoring that are based on analysis of geophysical data often rely on deterministic approaches without considering the complex and dynamic nature of volcanic systems. To detect subtle changes within seismic sequences associated with volcanic unrest, specialized workflows for data classification and analysis are required. Here, we present an inference framework based on Bayesian Deep Learning as a probabilistic proxy, which allows monitoring continuous changes in seismic activity at volcanoes. This architecture has been designed and trained to detect and to classify individual earthquake transients from continuous seismic data recorded in volcanic environments. We tested this new framework by analyzing seismic data associated with eruptions at Bezymianny Volcano (Russia) during 2007. Our results demonstrate efficient signal detection and classification accuracy, and effective detection of changes in the volcanic system in the hours preceding eruptive activity. This approach can be extended to other volcanoes and earthquake-prone areas, and demonstrates a new application of deep learning in the field of seismic monitoring.

Anatomy of the Bezymianny volcano merely before an explosive eruption on 20.12.2017

Strong explosive eruptions of volcanoes throw out mixtures of gases and ash from high-pressure underground reservoirs. Investigating these subsurface reservoirs may help to forecast and characterize an eruption. In this study, we compare seismic tomography results with remote sensing and petrology data to identify deep and subaerial manifestations of pre-eruptive processes at Bezymianny volcano in Kamchatka shortly before its violent explosion on December 20, 2017. Based on camera networks we identify precursory rockfalls, and based on satellite radar data we find pre-eruptive summit inflation. Our seismic network recorded the P and S wave data from over 500 local earthquakes used to invert for a 3D seismic velocity distribution beneath Bezymianny illuminating its eruptive state days before the eruption. The derived tomography model, in conjunction with the presence of the high-temperature-stable SiO2 polymorph Tridymite in juvenile rock samples , allowed us to infer the coexistence of magma and gas reservoirs revealed as anomalies of low (1.5) and high (2.0) Vp/Vs ratios, respectively, located at depths of 2–3 km and only 2 km apart. The reservoirs both control the current eruptive activity: while the magma reservoir is responsible for episodic dome growth and lava flow emplacements, the spatially separated gas reservoir may control short but powerful explosive eruptions of Bezymianny.

Structure of the Upper Crust beneath the Klyuchevskoy Group of Volcanoes Revealed from Ambient Noise Tomography

Abstract ––The Klyuchevskoy group of volcanoes (KGV) located in the central part of Kamchatka is a unique complex that demonstrates exceptional variety and intensity of volcanic manifestations. These features of the eruptive activity of the KGV are determined by a complex system of magmatic sources in the crust and mantle. While the structure of deep anomalies is quite reliably determined by tomography techniques based on body waves, the structure of the upper crust can only be determined using ambient noise tomography. We present the results of processing data from the KISS temporary network. This network consisted of more than 100 seismic stations that were installed from 2015 to 2016 over a large area covering the Klyuchevskoy group of volcanoes and its surroundings. To retrieve Rayleigh surface waves, cross-correlation of continuous seismic noise records from pairs of stations was used. We obtained the dispersion curves of the group velocities of these Rayleigh surface waves using frequency–time analysis (FTAN) of the calculated correlograms. These curves served as input data for performing ambient noise tomography. Tomography was performed in two stages: (1) computation of two-dimensional group velocity maps for different frequencies and (2) calculation of a three-dimensional model of the shear wave velocity to a depth of about 8 km based on the inversion of local dispersion curves obtained from these maps. The resulting models revealed the structural features of individual volcanic systems of the KGV. High velocities were observed at shallow depths beneath the large basaltic edifices of the Ushkovsky and Tolbachik volcanoes. At greater depths, while the velocity structure beneath Ushkovsky remained unchanged, we detected low velocities beneath Tolbachik. This fact illustrates the difference between dormant and active magmatic systems. Velocity anomalies of a complex shape are observed beneath the Klyuchevskoy, Kamen, and Bezymianny volcanoes, varying both laterally and with depth. Absolute velocities in vertical sections show that the edifices of these volcanoes are relatively low-velocity bodies located on a horizontal high-velocity basement. A low-velocity anomaly was discovered under the Bezymianny Volcano at a depth of 6 km, which is presumably associated with a shallow magma reservoir. An intense low-velocity anomaly was found beneath the Udina Volcano. It was interpreted as an image of a magma reservoir experiencing strong seismic unrest that began in December 2017 and continues to this day.

The 15 March 2019 Bezymianny Volcano Explosive Eruption and Its Products

Bezymianny Volcano is one of the most active volcanoes in Kamchatka and in the world. This paper describes the preparation, behavior, products, dynamics, and the geological effect of the March 15, 2019 explosive eruption of the volcano, which was predicted 6.5 h before it began. The sequence of eruptive events was analyzed using data provided by video and satellite-based monitoring of the volcano; the quantitative characteristics for the distribution of pyroclastic deposits were obtained in the information system “Remote Monitoring of Activity of Volcanoes in Kamchatka and the Kurile Islands”. The explosions lifted ash to heights of 15 km above sea level (up to 12 km above the volcano), the eruptive cloud was moving northeastward and east from the volcano, the main ashfall area was 210 400 km2, including 15 000 km2 on land. Apart from tephra, the eruption produced pyroclastic flows and pyroclastic surges covering an area of 30 km2. The total volume of explosive products is estimated as 0.1–0.2 km3. The eruptive rocks are calc-alkaline moderate-K basaltic andesites (SiO2 = 54.84–56.29 wt %), they are the most mafic among all rocks of the current Bezymianny eruption cycle.

The rebirth and evolution of Bezymianny volcano, Kamchatka after the 1956 sector collapse

Continued post-collapse volcanic activity can cause the rise of a new edifice. However, details of such edifice rebirth have not been documented yet. Here, we present 7-decade-long photogrammetric data for Bezymianny volcano, Kamchatka, showing its evolution after the 1956 sector collapse. Edifice rebirth started with two lava domes originating at distinct vents ~400 m apart. After 2 decades, activity became more effusive with vents migrating within ~200 m distance. After 5 decades, the activity focused on a single vent to develop a stratocone with a summit crater. We determine a long-term average growth rate of 26,400 m3/day, allowing us to estimate the regain of the pre-collapse size within the next 15 years. Numerical modeling explains the gradual vents focusing to be associated with loading changes, affecting magma pathways at depth. This work thus sheds light on the complex regrowth process following a sector collapse, with implications for regrowing volcanoes elsewhere.

Remote Detection and Location of Explosive Volcanism in Alaska With the EarthScope Transportable Array

AbstractThe current deployment of the EarthScope Transportable Array (TA) in Alaska affords an unprecedented opportunity to study explosive volcanic eruptions using a relatively dense regional seismoacoustic network. Infrasound monitoring has demonstrated utility for the remote (&gt;250 km range) detection and characterization of volcanic explosions, but previous studies have used relatively sparse regional or global networks. Seventy explosive events from the locally unmonitored Bogoslof volcano (2016–2017) provide a unique validation data set to examine the ability of the TA and other regional networks to detect and locate remote explosive volcanic eruptions in Alaska. With a simple envelope‐based reverse time migration (RTM) technique, we are able to detect and locate more than 72% of the 61 Bogoslof infrasound events detected by the Alaska Volcano Observatory. Notably, RTM using only sparse regional infrasound arrays produces results similar to when incorporating the extensive single‐sensor TA network, likely due to favorable signal‐to‐noise ratios, seasonal propagation conditions, and source‐receiver geometries. Our implementation also detects and locates explosive eruptions from Cleveland volcano, Alaska, and Bezymianny volcano, Kamchatka, as well as infrasound from nonvolcanic events such as earthquakes. We characterize the success of the RTM algorithm and associated parameter choices using receiver operating characteristic curves, event detection rates, and location accuracy. Our methods are useful for explosive volcanic and nonvolcanic event detection and localization using real‐time data and for scanning continuous waveform data archives.
