The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology on Friday evening reported it has monitored elevated levels of volcanic sulfur dioxide emissions at Kanlaon Volcano.
PHIVOLCS also explained that Kanlaon has been degassing increased concentrations of volcanic SO2 this year at an average rate of 1,897 tons/day, but emission since the June 3 eruption has been particularly elevated at a current average of 3,175 tons/day. Ground deformation data from continuous GPS and electronic tilt measurements have been recording medium-term inflation of the Kanlaon edifice since March 2022 and a shorter-term inflation of the eastern flank since 2023, indicating slow but sustained pressurization within the volcano.
PHIVOLCS also reminded the public that Alert Level 2 prevails over Kanlaon. “This means that there is current unrest driven by shallow magmatic processes that could eventually lead to explosive eruptions or even precede hazardous magmatic eruption at the summit crater.”
