Taal|Eruption on 12 January with explosions through 22 January; steam plumes continuing into March Unnamed|Additional details and pumice raft drift maps from the August 2019 submarine eruption Klyuchevskoy|Strombolian activity November 2019 through May 2020; lava flow down the SE flank in April Nyamuragira|Intermittent thermal anomalies within the summit crater during December 2019-May 2020 Nyiragongo|Activity in the lava lake and small eruptive cone persists during December 2019-May 2020 Kavachi|Discolored water plumes seen using satellite imagery in 2018 and 2020 Kuchinoerabujima|Eruption and ash plumes begin on 11 January 2020 and continue through April 2020 Soputan|Minor ash emissions during 23 March and 2 April 2020 Heard|Eruptive activity including a lava flow during October 2019-April 2020 Kikai|Ash explosion on 29 April 2020 Fuego|Ongoing ash explosions, block avalanches, and intermittent lava flows Ebeko|Frequent moderate explosions, ash plumes, and ashfall continue, December 2019-May 2020 The Volcanoes of the World database is a catalog of Holocene and Pleistocene volcanoes, and eruptions from the past 10,000 years. 5 June 2020 Database updated (4.9.0). Completed review of 2019 eruptions. Current eruptions updated through 4 June 2020. General updates to volcano data. 17 April 2020 Database updated (4.8.8). General updates to volcano data. Current eruptions updated through 17 April 2020. 12 March 2020 Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, GVP staff will be on work-at-home assignments for an indefinite period. It is expected that the Weekly Report will still be produced on time, but other services such as Bulletin reports and database updates will be delayed. 12 March 2020 Database updated (4.8.7). General updates to volcano data. Current eruptions were not updated. The Eruptions, Earthquakes, Emissions web application (or E3 ) is a time-lapse animation of volcanic eruptions and earthquakes since 1960. It also shows volcanic gas emissions (sulfur dioxide, SO2) since 1978 the first year satellites were available to provide global monitoring of SO2. Who We Are The mission of GVP is to document, understand, and disseminate information about global volcanic activity.

The Global Volcanism Program (GVP) seeks better understanding of all volcanoes through documenting their eruptions--small as well as large--during the past 10,000 years. The range of volcanic behavior is great enough, and volcano lifetimes are long enough, that we must integrate observations of contemporary activity with historical and geological records of the recent past in order to prepare wisely for the future. The contemporary focus of the GVP is evident in the central role we play in the rapid dissemination of on-going eruption reports from local observers through our monthly Bulletin of the Global Volcanism Network. Our retrospective effort to document Earth's volcanic eruptions of the last 10,000 years has led to development of comprehensive databases and an archive of relevant maps, photos, and documents. Through these two complementary approaches we attempt to provide a context in which any individual volcano's benefits and dangers can be usefully assessed.
