(Eagle News)–An alert level 2 remains hoisted over Taal. The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology said activity in the main crater in the past 24 hours has been characterized by weak emission of steam-laden plumes rising 50 to 100 meters high. Sulfur dioxide emission was below instrumental detection due to weak plume activity. The Taal Volcano Network, PHIVOLCS said, recorded 41 volcanic earthquakes that are associated with ” rock fracturing processes beneath and around […]

Alert level 2 maintained over Taal today
(Eagle News)–Alert level 2 remains hoisted over Taal today. The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology said activity in the main crater in the past 24 hours has been characterized by weak emission of steam-laden plumes rising 50 to 100 meters high. Sulfur dioxide emission was below instrumental detection due to weak plume activity. PHIVOLCS said the Taal Volcano Network recorded 77 volcanic earthquakes,which could mean magmatic activity beneath the Taal edifice that could lead […]
Taal volcano now on alert level 2 following “decreased unrest”
(Eagle News)– The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology on Friday, Feb. 14, lowered Taal volcano’s status to alert level 2 following a decrease in volcanic unrest. In its latest bulletin, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology said since an alert level 3 was hoisted over the volcano on Jan. 26, volcanic earthquakes recorded by the Taal Volcano Network averaged 141 events per day while the number of significant events recorded by the Philippine […]

The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology said the weak emission of steam-laden plumes rising 20 to 50 meters high took place in the last 24 hours. Sulfur dioxide emission was measured at an average of 116 tons per day on February 8. The Taal Volcano Network, PHIVOLCS said, […]
Alert level 3 still hoisted over Taal as its crater, fissures spew steam; quakes also monitored
(Eagle News)–An alert level 3 remains hoisted over Taal as its crater and fissures continue to spew steam and its seismic activity. The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology said activity in the main crater in the past 24 hours has been characterized by moderate emission of the white to dirty white steam-laden plumes rising 200 to 300 meterd high. PHIVOLCS said it also observed a weak steaming from fissure vents along the Daang Kastila […]
