Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) reported that the eruption at Suwanosejima's Ontake Crater continued during 20-26 March. Crater incandescence was observed nightly in infrared camera images. A total of seven explosions were registered by the seismic network; resulting ash plumes rose up to 1.3 km above the crater rim before drifting N and SE and ejected large ballistic projectiles (20-30 cm in diameter) as far as 600 m away from the center of the crater.

Wed, 27 Mar 2024, 15:00KVERT reported that eruptive activity at Sheveluch continued with a thermal anomaly identified in satellite images during 17-21 March. Strong gas and steam emissions were observed at the Karan dome. On 21 March plumes of resuspended ash extended 65 km to the SE.

PVMBG reported that eruptive activity continued at Semeru during 20-26 March. During the week, 14 eruptive events were recorded by the seismic network, and ash plumes rose 500-1,200 m above the summit and drifted in multiple directions. During 20 and 23-24 March white and gray emissions rose 50-200 m above the summit and drifted multiple directions.

Wed, 27 Mar 2024, 15:00INSIVUMEH reported that eruptive activity continued at Santa Maria's Santiaguito lava dome complex during 20-26 March with a lava extrusion and avalanches at the Caliente dome. Incandescence from the dome was visible during most nights and early mornings, and occasional incandescence was also present along the upper WSW flank lava flow. Daily explosions generated ash, gas, and steam plumes that rose as high as 900 m above the summit and drifted multiple directions on most days, and on 20 March rose 2.2 km above the summit.

Instituto Geofísico del Perú (IGP) reported that moderate levels of eruptive activity continued at Sabancaya during 20-26 March. The monitoring network recorded a range of 5-30 explosions per day. Explosions generated ash plumes that rose as high as 1.1 km above the summit crater and drifted less than 10 km in multiple directions; plume heights were not visible during 24-26 March.

Wed, 27 Mar 2024, 15:00Centro Nacional de Prevención de Desastres (CENAPRED) reported that eruptive activity continued at Popocatépetl during 20-26 March. Daily activity consisted of 14-69 long-period (LP) events that were accompanied by emissions of gas, steam, and small quantities of ash. Additionally, high-frequency and variable amplitude episodes of tremor were registered; duration of episodes ranged from approximately 2.9 to 17.6 hours per day.

Observatoire Volcanologique de Goma (OVG) reported that the sulfur dioxide (SO2) flux at Nyiragongo decreased slightly but remained at moderate levels during 18-23 March. The Munigi station measured a small increase in carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations from fractures in the S area. Additionally, CO2 concentrations in the “mazuku”, or lowland areas located in the W area of the city of Goma, remained lethal.

Wed, 27 Mar 2024, 15:00Servicio Geológico Colombiano's (SGC) Observatorio Vulcanológico y Sismológico de Manizales reported that eruptive activity at Nevado del Ruiz continued during 19-25 March. Seismicity associated with fluid movement decreased in both the number of events recorded and seismic energy released; most of these signals were associated with pulsating emissions of ash and gas. At 0516 on 22 March a seismic signal was associated with an ash emission that rose 1,100 m above the crater and drifted 1,400 m to the SW and W; this was the highest intensity signal this year.

BPPTKG reported that the eruption at Merapi (on Java) continued during 15-21 March. Seismicity remained at high levels. The SW lava dome produced 59 lava avalanches that descended the SW flank as far as 1.8 km.

Wed, 27 Mar 2024, 15:00PVMBG reported that eruptive activity at Marapi (on Sumatra) was ongoing during 20-26 March. White and gray ash plumes rose 200-500 m above the summit and drifted multiple directions on 20 and 24 March. White steam and gas plumes rose 200-250 m above the summit and drifted N, NE, and NW on 21 and 25 March.
