OUR CHANGING EARTH
Follow eruption reports. Discover volcanoes. Key data from Smithsonian GVP and USGS in one place.
Map & reports
Select a volcano to see its profile and surroundings.
Official VAAC areas. Observations and forecasts have separate valid times.
NOAA-20 / VIIRS · detections within 20 km of catalogue volcanoes. A heat source does not confirm an eruption.
NOAA-20 / OMPS · total SO₂ column in Dobson units (DU), assuming a plume altitude of 3 km.
Total SO₂ columns show neither an individual volcano’s daily emission rate nor directly the concentration at ground level.

Profile
Latest catalogue records. Historical records are incomplete; missing values are unknown. VEI describes eruption explosivity.

Satellites & ash clouds
VAAC centres publish ash-cloud locations and altitude ranges, with forecasts for 6, 12 and 18 hours. We map the structured fields from the NOAA NWS bulletin service. Each area has its own valid time. We do not calculate our own dispersion from surface winds.
NOAA distributes advisories from the nine VAAC centres. A current advisory or drawable area is not available for every volcano.
Explore the map ↑VIIRS detects unusually strong thermal radiation. We show detections within 20 km of catalogue volcanoes with available radiative-power and confidence values. Fires and industry can also be heat sources. Clouds, resolution and satellite overpasses limit detection. Missing points do not confirm inactivity.
Aqua / MODIS · band 31 · brightness temperature in kelvin. Clouds and atmosphere affect the image; not a direct lava temperature.
Explore the map ↑The OMPS satellite layer shows retrieved total SO₂ columns for an assumed plume altitude. The CAMS model separately shows the predicted distribution at future valid times, where available up to five days from model start. The two layers use different units. SO₂ can also come from non-volcanic sources.
Total SO₂ columns show neither an individual volcano’s daily emission rate nor directly the concentration at ground level.
Explore the map ↑Ash advisories are checked every 15 minutes; satellite metadata and heat detections hourly. Provider acquisition and valid times matter: a new retrieval is not a new measurement.

Understanding activity
A report describes eruptive activity during its reporting period. It is not a real-time measurement or a complete list of eruptions worldwide.
An elevated alert may indicate volcanic unrest. It does not by itself confirm an eruption. USGS aviation colours have a separate meaning.
No current report does not mean extinct or safe. Source coverage varies between volcanoes.
QuakeMap24 is not a warning authority. Follow the relevant authorities for local decisions.
Geographic proper names follow the source catalogue.
