Kamchatka Volcanic Eruption Response Team

February 17, 2024

The Kamchatka Volcanic Eruption Response Team (KVERT) is a Russian national institution dedicated to provide information of any volcanic activity taking place on the Kamchatka Peninsula and the Kuril Islands of Russia that could become a threat to local communities and aviation. It was established in 1993 by the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Institute of Volcanic Geology and Seismology (IVS FEB RAS) under cooperation with the Kamchatkan Branch of Geophysical Survey (KBGS RAS).[2] The Alaska Volcano Observatory (AVO), United States Geological Survey (USGS) and its affiliates also provide joint efforts to the program.[3] The KVERT website, posted in both Russian and English, allows users to view information on volcanoes in the region and monitor reports of active volcanoes. A section also provides webcameras at select locations that update regularly.[4] Currently, around 66 active volcanoes (31 on the Kamchatka Peninsula and 35 in the Kuril Islands) are routinely monitored.[3] The majority of the volcanoes on the Kuril Islands are monitored by the Sakhalin Volcanic Eruption Response Team (SVERT), which is located in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, but all reports of volcanic activity in the island chain are posted in joint effort on the KVERT website.[5][6]

The offices for KVERT are located at the Institute of Volcanic Geology and Seismology in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky on the Kamchatka Peninsula.[7]

Monitored volcanoes edit

The following list shows volcanoes currently monitored by KVERT or SVERT. Many rely on the use activity detection instruments or satellite and local observations. While the majority of these volcanoes are in remote locations and would only pose a threat to aviation, there are a few in some areas that could have an impact on populated communities.[7][8] Monitored volcanoes are not limited to the ones currently listed, and more may be added in the future if necessary.
