''PALM ISLAND ISLAND SISMOVOLCANIC SWIMS, CANARIES 15/09/2021: SISMS ARE EVERY TIME MORE SOMEROUS AND STRONG. We're on yellow alert, deformation has been confirmed, and the magma progresses or moves to the surface and northwest in search of an output from seismic data with more than 900 earthquakes located since it began, 715 the last 3 days.
Today the novelty in addition to a remarkable Earthquake of 3.5 that makes the thirty of earthquakes above the magnitude 3, is that some more superficial earthquakes, normal and logical begin to locate, as it begins to respond to the deformation that pushes from below. Cracks, crunches, doors and windows that don't close, detachments, rock fall and other demonstrations may already be the result of that in-depth deformation. (Enrique)

The Involcan registers a significant deformation of the terrain of volcanic origin in La Palma

SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, Sep 15 (EUROPA PRESS) â€"

The Canary Islands Geodesic Network, operated by the Canary Islands Volcanological Institute (Involcan), has registered in recent days a significant deformation of the terrain of volcanic origin as a result of the increase in seismic activity in the Cumbre Vieja volcano, in La Palma.

This deformation can be interpreted as the effect of the pressurization of a small magmatic reservoir, located inside Cumbre Vieja in the same area where most of the earthquakes of the recent swarm are being located.

This observation confirms that the source of this swarm, which began last Saturday, September 11, has a magmatic origin and is related to the intrusion of a small volume of magma inside the Cumbre Vieja volcano.

Involcan will continue to be informed about the evolution of this new seismic swarm in the Cumbre Vieja volcano and recalls that it cannot be ruled out that the seismicity felt in the coming days will intensify, depending on the evolution of the activity.

The current situation of the volcanic traffic light is in yellow for the municipalities of El Paso, Los Llanos de Aridane, Mazo and Fuencaliente de la Palma; Therefore, the population is advised to be attentive to the information provided by the corresponding Civil Protection authorities.

New update from Pevolca

Translated

The Scientific Committee reports that the process has intensified, but that there is still no clear evidence of an imminent eruption

The territorial scope is maintained for the municipalities of El Paso, Los Llanos de Aridane, Mazo and Fuencaliente

The yellow traffic light reinforces information to the population, surveillance measures and monitoring of volcanic and seismic activity

The Scientific Committee of the Special Plan for Civil Protection and Attention to Emergencies due to Volcanic Risk (PEVOLCA), meeting today, has recommended to the Directorate of the Plan to keep the traffic light in yellow and the Alert situation for the municipalities of La Cumbre Vieja, specifically Fuencaliente, Los Llanos de Aridane, El Paso and Mazo. Experts note that the process has intensified and may evolve rapidly in the short term, but add that there is still no clear evidence for an imminent eruption.

The committee has reported that in this situation it is expected that felt earthquakes of greater intensity will occur. The indicators show an intense seismic record, with a slight displacement towards the northwest, with shallower depths than in previous days, between 6 and 8 km. In addition, today some shallow earthquakes (1-3 km) of low magnitude are also being recorded and that the surface deformation data has reached a cumulative maximum of 6 cm, predominantly vertical, in the same area in which the locate seismicity.

The Scientific Committee is coordinated by the General Directorate of Security and Emergencies of the Government of the Canary Islands and is made up of representatives of the National Geographic Institute (IGN), Higher Council for Scientific Research (CSIC); The Canary Islands Volcanological Institute (Involcan), the Geological and Mining Institute of Spain (IGME), the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET), the Spanish Institute of Oceanography (IEO), the University of La Laguna and the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.

PEVOLCA establishes a volcanic traffic light as an alert system to the population based on four colors depending on the risk: green, yellow, orange and red. In yellow, information to the population, surveillance measures and monitoring of volcanic and seismic activity are intensified.

At this level, activity monitoring is reinforced to communicate any significant changes that are observed. The population must be attentive to the communications of the competent authorities in Civil Protection, through official channels and the media.

Before a volcanic eruption, there is a gradual increase in seismic activity, which can last for a long time and can be perceived by the population, so you must remain calm.

At a yellow traffic light, it is recommended to know the communications network of the environment in which you reside for a possible evacuation and to have a family home located outside the risk areas.

A small backpack or travel bag must be planned in case evacuation is determined, with a mobile phone with charger, personal medications and important documentation.

If any significant changes are observed (noise, gases, ash, change in the water level of the wells, small tremors in the ground, etc.), you should contact 1-1-2. Remember this is an emergency telephone number.

If you live with people with reduced mobility who need a special evacuation (ambulance), notify the Department of Social Affairs of your City Council.

In case of evacuation, your City Council will inform you of the routes and the established meeting point. It will only be evacuated when the indications are given to do so.

IGN update 15/09/21


Translated

Seismic activity continues to migrate slightly to the northwest, at depths of around 8 km, with 20 shallow earthquakes (1-3 km) also being recorded. The maximum accumulated deformation reaches about 6 cm.

The seismic activity started at 3:18 (UTC) on the 11th continues. Until 12:00 (UTC) today, 4222 earthquakes have been detected in the southern area of ​​the island of La Palma, of which they have located a total of 920. Activity continues to migrate in a northwesterly direction. Since 00:11 (UTC), 20 earthquakes have been located at depths between 1-3 km (with errors between 2-3 km), the event with the highest magnitude being 2.9 mbLg, at a depth of 0.4 km . The rest of the activity continues at depths between 7 and 9 km. The accumulated energy so far is 2.5 × 10 11 Joules.

The maximum accumulated vertical deformation is around 6 cm in the area close to seismicity and its distribution is still compatible with a center of pressure in this area. These movements have been observed both with the island's GNSS network and through InSAR data (Sentinel-1). On the other hand, the eastern trend observed in previous days in the Cumbre Vieja inclinometer seems to have stabilized.

The IGN has intensified the continuous monitoring of the activity.

Authorities warn of possible volcanic eruption on Canary Island of La Palma
Since September 11, more than 4,200 tremors have been recorded in the area near Teneguía volcano, and they are reportedly growing in intensity


In October 2011, following weeks of intense seismic activity, an underwater volcano erupted off the coast of El Hierro in Spain`s Canary Islands. Ten years later, the nearby island of La Palma appears to be facing the same situation. In the past few days, more than 4,200 tremors have been recorded and a ground deformation indicates that magma is bubbling beneath the surface.


The team of experts monitoring the phenomenon, the Volcano Risk Prevention Plan (Pevolca), says it is possible that this magma could cause a volcanic eruption on the surface in the next few days or weeks. But while the process has intensified, there are no clear signs of an imminent eruption. For this reason, Pevolca decided on Tuesday to elevate the risk of a volcanic eruption to yellow â€" the second-highest in the three-tiered system.

“We cannot make a short-term forecast,” warned María José Blanco, the director of the National Geographic Institute (IGN) in the Canary Islands. “But everything indicates that it will evolve into earthquakes of larger magnitudes that will be more intense and felt by the population.”



The last eruption in La Palma took place in October 1971, when the Teneguía volcano spewed out lava for more than three weeks after a crack appeared in the south of the island. The situation remained calm until 2017, when seismic activity resumed. In the past few days, this activity has intensified with constant small tremors, known as an Earthquake swarm, recorded a few kilometers from Teneguía in the Cumbre Vieja area, southeast of the island.

This Earthquake swarm began on September 11, and since then, more than 4,200 tremors have been detected. Nearly all have been of small magnitude, but on Wednesday there were four that measured more than 3 on the Richter scale. What`s more, the tremors are also becoming closer to the surface, which indicates that magma is looking to escape. While the first earthquakes were recorded at more than 20 kilometers below the surface, on Wednesday, they hit at a depth of between six and eight kilometers. Indeed 20 tremors were recorded at just three kilometers below the surface. Another sign of the pressure is that, in the area of the Earthquake swarm, the island has swelled six centimeters â€" 4.5 centimeters on Wednesday alone.

Blanco said that the phenomenon is “very powerful” compared with the situation in El Hierro 10 years ago: the tremors in La Palma have released as much energy in the space of three days as that released during the weeks of eruption in 2011. Nevertheless, Blanco said that an eruption was not “imminent” as the process is ongoing. “There still has not been a large Earthquake that opens a path for the magma, which is at a depth of eight kilometers, which would cause tremors by breaking the Earth`s crust to reach the surface,” she explained.

Authorities have called for calm, but have also asked the population to remain alert. The municipalities affected by the yellow warning issued on Tuesday are Fuencaliente, Los Llanos de Aridane, El Paso and Mazo.

The Pevolca committee also warned that “earthquakes of larger intensity are to be expected.” The head of the government administration of La Palma, Mariano Hernández Zapata, said on Wednesday that he was not ruling out any fast changes in the situation that could lead to an eruption in the “short term.” “We are living on a volcanic island and [an eruption] is one of the options that could happen,” said Hernández, after speaking of the experience of Teneguía.

Luca D`Auria, the head of the Volcano Monitoring Department at the Canary Islands Volcano Institute (Involcan), said that, based on what is known about the geological history of La Palma, “magma builds up in an area that is five kilometers below the surface before entering into an eruption.” “What`s most likely is that the magma has found a way toward the surface and it is very likely that it will end up reaching it,” he explained. According to D`Auria, the situation is evolving “very quickly” â€" faster than what was recorded in El Hierro in 2011, when Earthquake swarms took place for weeks before the eruption. Although the expert admitted it could “amount to nothing,” he argued that it was likely that an eruption will happen in the areas being hit by earthquakes, “but we don`t know yet.”

Informative update on Earthquake-volcanic activity in the Volcano Vieja Summit (La Palma, Canary Islands): 11 million cubic meters of magma have already been injected.
The Canary Geodetic Network, operated by the Volcanological Institute of Canary Islands (INVOLCAN), has recorded significant deformation of the volcanic land in recent days.
The figure shows horizontal (red arrows) and vertical (black arrows) displacement in some of the GNSS stations that are part of the net. This warp pattern can be interpreted as the effect of pressurizing a small magmatic reservoir, with a volume of approximately 11 million cubic meters, located inside the Old Summit in the same area where most are being located from the earthquakes of the recent swarm, and at a depth of approximately 6-7 km.
This observation confirms that the source of this swarm, which began last Saturday September 11, 2021, has a magmatic origin and is related to the intrusion of a small volume of magma inside the Volcano of Old Summit.
INVOLCAN will continue to be updated on the evolution of this new seismic swarm at the Volcano Summit. Remembering that it can't be ruled out to intensify the seismicity felt in the coming days, depending on the evolution of activity.
The current situation of the volcanic traffic light is in AMARILLO for the municipalities of El Paso, Los Llanos de Aridane, Mazo and Fuencaliente de la Palma; therefore, keep an eye on the information provided by the relevant Civil Protection authorities.

PALM ISLAND ISLAND VOLCANIC ENJOY, CANARIES 16/09/2021: INFORMATION RELEASURE.- FOURTH ENVITE. - The seismic activity or fourth upturn or envite that began this noon after a small Earthquake of brokenness or depressurization that has lasted a few hours in what is already the fourth piece of activity of this seismic swarm, where you can see many things:
1.- First thing is that it has been lighter or smoother than the previous three, it seems that the activity is going to less fortunately which does not mean a stronger one in the coming days.
2.- The depth of earthquakes takes a tendency to rise, something like half a mile daily these 5 days of swarm from 10 km to 7.5 today on average and rising... but getting tired or running out of energy today... this quieter.
3.- The reverse distribution of released seismic energy follows a downward lognormal distribution, indicating that the system loses power or runs out of energy, starting from a maximum of energy at little time when the intrusion began, which makes it think the intrusion has been on time and stops, until the next intrusion comes that will give a new swarm.
4.- The one who is stopping or slowing down the deformation is noted in the graphic of the IGN inclinometer that is seen as moderating deformation or inflation although it appears that yesterday there was still some magma contribution that has kept moving.
5.- There is no estimated eruption date possible as there is no way to calculate it by having a line or trend of downward released seismic energies. To draw an estimated date, you need a line of upward energy or ladder of the devil, with steps growing bigger and bigger and we have the opposite, steps getting smaller since it started 5 days ago.
6.- There has not been a broken Earthquake or firing of a sufficient magnitude (magnitude 4-5 or even more) to enable the eruption to reach the surface as usually happens in volcanic eruptions. We keep waiting.
We'll see what happens, what seems to be taking a break, but this is more than interesting for the next few days. Gas, deformation and seismicity will be the most interesting thing in the coming days. And it can be re-reactivated anytime in the next two weeks almost certainly with seismicity above the 3 magnitude and whether it comes strong 4 or more. (Enrique)

Present at this meeting were the highest representatives of the Cabildo de La Palma, the municipalities of Fuencaliente, Los Llanos de Aridane, El Paso and Villa de Mazo; the Delegation of the Government of Spain in the Canary Islands, the General Directorate of Security and Emergencies of the Government of the Canary Islands, the Canary Health Service, the Ministry of Ecological Transition, Fight against Climate Change and Territorial Planning of the Government of the Canary Islands, the Emergency Service Canario and CECOES 1-1-2. Likewise, technicians from the different administrations have been present.

The Steering Committee is constituted to analyze and achieve the best development of the actions contemplated within the action plans provided by each of the municipal, island, autonomous and state administrations.

Miguel Ángel Morcuende, head of the Environment and Emergencies service of the Cabildo de La Palma, has been appointed technical director of PEVOLCA and will be responsible for the direction and coordination of all the actions carried out under the Plan itself.


At this meeting the general situation was addressed based on the reports provided by the Scientific Committee, which also met this Thursday. The Government of the Canary Islands has decided to reinforce the Canary Islands Emergency and Security Network (RESCAN) with the increase of repeater stations, as well as communication terminals that are made available to the Technical Directorate.

In addition, it has become aware of the increase in the means of surveillance by the National Geographic Institute and the Volcanological Institute of the Canary Islands, who have deployed seismic instruments in the Cumbre Vieja area. This Friday, both the Steering Committee and the Scientific Committee will meet again.

The Plan Directorate has also recommended to the Technical Directorate the activation of emergency plans at the municipal and island level in the affected area. This alert phase of the PEVOLCA, yellow traffic light, includes the preparation of a possible evacuation of the population. In this sense, both the Cabildo and the municipalities intensify information to the population about their self-protection plans, meeting points and evacuation routes, as well as the travel needs of people with reduced mobility.

This is the sound of a seismic swarm part that is affecting the island of La Palma these days. The earthquake registered by the PTAB seismic station (Taburiente) of the Canaria Seismic Network between 12:00 and 15:00 (Canary Time) yesterday 16/09/2021, has been accelerated 200 times in the process of sonification. You can clearly hear the thousands of earthquakes that were recorded during a surge in seismicity observed at this interval.
