Volcanoes and Earthquakes
Earth is a restless planet. Beneath our feet, tectonic plates grind against one another,
magma surges toward the surface, and the ground shakes with energy released from hundreds
of kilometers below. This site brings together the best available open data to help you
explore that activity — from the ancient calderas of the Pleistocene to volcanoes erupting
right now.
Volcanoes
The Smithsonian Global Volcanism Program (GVP) maintains the
world's most comprehensive catalog of volcanic activity — more than 2,600 volcanoes
documented across the Holocene and Pleistocene epochs, with eruption histories stretching
back thousands of years.

Earthquakes
The USGS Earthquake Hazards Program monitors seismic
activity globally. This site tracks significant earthquakes and identifies those occurring
within 50 km of a known volcano — a relationship that can signal volcanic unrest.

Currently Elevated US Volcanoes
| Volcano | Color Code | Alert Level | Observatory | Notice |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Great Sitkin | ORANGE | WATCH (was ADVISORY) | Alaska Volcano Observatory | Notice |
Slow eruption of lava continues within the summit crater with associated low-level seismicity. | ||||
| Kupreanof | YELLOW | ADVISORY (was UNASSIGNED) | Alaska Volcano Observatory | Notice |
Seismic activity and volcanic gas emissions continue at Mount Kupreanof. | ||||
| Shishaldin | YELLOW | ADVISORY (was NORMAL) | Alaska Volcano Observatory | Notice |
Unrest continues with small earthquakes, tremor, infrasound signals and gas emissions detected. | ||||
| Kilauea | YELLOW | ADVISORY (was WATCH) | Hawaiian Volcano Observatory | Notice |
Kīlauea volcano is not erupting; the summit eruption in Halemaʻumaʻu is paused. Episode 48 occurred on June 1. Forecast models based on summit inflation rates since episode 48 indicate that episode 49 is likely to begin in 9-14 days. | ||||
