Re: Volcanic Eruption - Ecuador, Reventador 2014
Reventador volcano Ecuador is going through its eruption cycle - status ACTIVE, ERUPTING 7 March 2014
Eruption activity started earlier today, at about 0800 AM local time and continued for a 5 hour eruption almost constantly until 1300 hours local time.
POST UPDATE - after about a break of an hour, Reventador continued constant eruption activity. (See the seismic graphic above for the time/duration events)

Re: Volcanic Eruption - Ecuador, Reventador 2014
Reventador continued erupting with a slight period of calm before 0800 for a couple hours then started back up. 9 March 2014
It stopped briefly around 1830 then picked back up shortly before 2000 local time.

Re: Volcanic Eruption - Ecuador, Reventador 2014
Reventador a little after 0700 am local time Ecuador, exhibited some spectacular seismic activity 10 March 14 that continued thru the morning.
With a few short breaks, the eruptions started up again and into the evening (as of 2200 local, the time of this report)

Re: Volcanic Eruption - Ecuador, Reventador 2014
Reventador volcano Ecuador calmed down shortly after midnight 11 March 14 then started up quite intensively shortly before 0800 local time.
It was still active prior to 2000 local time.

Reventador - Ecuador - 12/13 March 14
Seismic monitoring network went off-line and remained off-line until about 1930 local time Ecuador (13 March 14).
Key volcanoes were not being monitored due to the data-outage.
Reports have now resumed.
The last available report before the network outage was:

The current seismic file:
Seismic activity is showing an event in progress but not necessarily a lava output.

Re: Volcanic Eruption - Ecuador, Reventador 2014
Reventador today, continued its crazy very high frequency spikey seismic activity. Good to see the seismic reporting network monitoring once again these volcanoes in Ecuador - the network was down 12 March 14 from about 1430 through 13 March 14 1900 hours local
we'll update the report later this evening as things progress.
Geomagnetic activity is relatively quiet, and the eruption pattern apparently is showing no major eruption activity. Earlier in the week there was some high intensity X-ray ionization in the earth upper atmosphere leading to aurora activity, and a surge in eruption activity (see post 25 above).
Ed Note - shortly before 1600 hours local time, notice that there was a small but sustained seismic rumble.. two other volcanoes, GuaGua Pichincha and CotoPaxi both about the same time started experiencing seismic volcanic events. CotoPaxi by far had the larger of the two.
Reventador picked up eruption activity later in the day once again, after a period of quiet from early morning activity.

Re: Volcanic Eruption - Ecuador, Reventador 2014
Reventador for 16 March 14 seismic activity
Significant - the event that was starting at 1025 am local time was 2 minutes prior to the events at CotoPaxi and Tungurahua, and 13 minutes after the event at GuaGua Pichincha, possibly showing that the magma river in this arc chain of volcanoes had the impulse start in the upper North-Northwest and traveled eastward, and then southwards to the other volcanoes. Never-the-less this connection is showing that a common feed system exists - the obviousness is that, these volcanoes do not make up just separate small volcanoes, but possibly the total magma volume that is feeding these are actually a "super-volcano".
Will a massive event happen, unknown at this time what triggers a massive event simultaneously, except that the plate system that is generating the heat, could massively slip/compress resulting in a large release of the fluidic rock.

Re: Volcanic Eruption - Ecuador, Reventador 2014
Reventador - 17 March 14 - seismic report
SIGNIFICANT - at about midnight a significant event occurred, and about 20 minutes later. This tracked exactly with the CotoPaxi Volcano, and the Tungurahua volcanoes to the south. This shows a common magma system exists, and demarks part of the size of the potential "supervolcano" perimeter of Ecuador's northern Andes active volcanic range. There is no understanding at this time, on how much magma is present, which is a requirement to determine the potential size of a potential supervolcano eruption, nor what triggers such events.
The determining factors could be "plate stresses" which could slip radically and dramatically, squeezing melted rock through the channel systems, and of course how much melt is present in such chambers. What is significant is that we are seeing simultaneously timed events happening, indicating that the driving plate structure is pulsing at the same time or within moments or minutes of each other, and that these volcanoes are separated by a vast distance.
The ring of fire region on the eastern side has been experiencing large seismic events in the last few days from northern California, off Baha Mexico, within Columbia, off Ecuador, off Peru, and off Chile.. and we have been seeing increased activity in relatively calm volanoes, and volcanoes which are normally erupting have changed their patterns and cycles.

Re: Volcanic Eruption - Ecuador, Reventador 2014
Reventador 20 March 2014 - the seismic system monitoring the Volcanoes in Ecuador resumed being accessible for reporting about 1100 am today.
===============================
Previously, About 1030AM local time Ecuador, 17 March 2014 all of Ecuador's volcanic seismic monitoring systems went off-line (again - such previously happened on the 12th for about a day's outage).
ref: http://correo.igepn.edu.ec/heli/heli...2014031712.gif was the last image published
we will resume posting reports and observations when the network is restored.

Re: Volcanic Eruption - Ecuador, Reventador 2014
Reventador - Ecuador - seismic and volcanic activity - status intermittent eruptions, unsettled activity, large rumbling continues 25 March 14
Reventador continues to do it's job to be the "escape valve" for the northern chain of the Andes volcanic arc in Ecuador, letting off what amounts to immense pressures from the magma river deep below the surface.
With this much activity, when things move to totally SILENT, one would be very concerned as there would be either a diversion of the magma river, or there has been a massive plug that formed (or plugs).
It is important to watch the volcanic chain from Chile, northwards thru Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia to understand what is happening on-shore with volcanic activity, or offshore with large deep earthquakes - such are events on the eastern side of the Ring of Fire - which leads all the way up the coastal ranges, all the way up to Alaska (through Canada's Vancouver Island, Washington/Oregon, California, Mexico, Pan/Central America)..
The heat has to go somewhere, and it converts through magma flow, into lava and eruptions. It's a balance and things have to continually operate properly to keep extremely large catastrophic events from happening.
The 14th and 15th of March was particularly worrisome when activity stopped and went totally quiet.. Later on the 15th this corrected with whatever was stuck letting loose, and Reventador acted like a pop bottle being shaken, releasing a lot of fiz and liquid.
Imagine a steam radiator, with a relief valve which must remain open when certain pressure levels are reached. If that pressure isn't gradually released, if the pressure relief valve gets stuck, blocked or frozen, the boiler down below continues to heat up, and pressurize the system.. Eventually if not corrected the pipe breaks, and something really nasty could happen. That's why the flow needs to be balanced and stable..

Reventador - volcano Ecuador - seismic and volcanic activity - 26 March 14
This volcano is like the gift that keeps on giving..
throughout the night there was intense activity and only very slightly diminished its output just before 0700 am local time, and kicked back up within the 1/2 hour.
Shortly after 0900 onwards to the time of this report, the eruptive activity has been constant..
this volcano-cam may be updating with current activity -

Reventador is really at it, letting off everything that it can to reduce the magmatic pressures, and reducing the effects of the other volcanoes in the surrounding region (as far away as about 120 miles)
