The Alaska Volcano Observatory is closely monitoring Mount Spurr, which is located about 75 miles west of Anchorage. “AVO continues to monitor activity at Mount Spurr for signals that would ...
A swarm of more than 100 shallow earthquakes at Alaska's Mount Spurr that began Sunday night and ran to Monday morning suggest the volcano could be moving closer to an eruption. "It's about a 50/ ...
These primarily include volcanoes that have had eruptions or other volcanic activity in recent years. Such monitoring is not limited to the volcanoes listed below and more could be added in the future if necessary.

The Puff model is a volcanic ash tracking model developed at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. It requires windfield data on a geographic grid covering the area over which ash may be dispersed. Representative ash particles are initiated at the volcano's location and then allowed to advect, diffuse, and settle within the atmosphere.
A significant explosion at 1:09 a.m. Friday produced an ash cloud that reached up to 40,000 feet (12,192 meters) and drifted south over the Pacific Ocean. Alaska volcano spews ash cloud high ...
The worldwide network of Volcanic Ash Advisory Centers was set up by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), an agency of the United Nations, as part of the International Airways Volcano Watch (IAVW), an international set of arrangements for monitoring and providing warnings to aircraft of volcanic ash. The operations and ...
The volcano's remoteness limits opportunities for its study, and the Alaska Volcano Observatory relies heavily on satellites for monitoring. The volcano is primarily hazardous to aircraft; many of the flights over the north Pacific approach the vicinity of the volcano, and volcanic ash released from eruptions can damage sensitive electronic ...
Mount Spurr in Alaska is showing signs of unrest. The volcano may be gearing up to erupt. Scientists have recorded hundreds of small earthquakes underneath the volcano's surface over the last 10 ...
