Low-frequency seismic and infrasound activity detected all week when not too windy. + KOROVIN (Green/Normal): A discrete seismic event occurred on Jan 6 around 00:43 UTC, followed by elevated tremor. No obvious infrasound but it has been windy. Seismicity (tremor and local VT’s) observed Jan 7, 8, maybe on 10th. + SPURR (Green/Normal): There were a few LPs at Spurr last week. They may be glacial. + CNMI/AHYI (Yellow/Advisory): Possible Ahyi detection in Wake Island data on Jan 9. Faint submarine plume observed Jan 6, 9 and 10. No activity observed at other CNMI volcanoes. + OTHER: Kilauea started event #40 this morning. NET OPS/FIELDWORK: Max Enders Color Code: + Great Sitkin – All stations working. + Shishaldin – All stations working except some SSBA data gaps. Network, Multi-Station and Array Outages: -- + Port Heiden (#aniakchak, #veniaminof (north side) - 2025-12-13 07:07:08 UTC Power outage is ONGOING. – Update received from FAA is that a crew is still trying to get to Port Heiden to make repairs, but have not been able to make it yet due to weather. + Sand Point (SDPI array) - outage continues, partner-procured internet outage – EarthScope has an open trouble ticket with the ISP, and they are considering a visit to install a Starlink if this is not resolved soon. + Kenai Infrasound Array – Outage due to station power issues – Critically low voltage starting ~2025-01-02 21:00 UTC. No field visit planned. + Akutan- Network outage due to ISP administrative issue. Out: 2026-01-05 19:50:56 UTC Resolved: 2026-01-07 18:26:01 UTC. Single Station Issues – -Wrangell - Tolsona sites continue to have minor data gaps at IRIS. AVO Winston copy complete. -Iliamna – ILLG is completely out, ILCB very intermittent last week, and ILSW power getting low. -Peulik – PLBL and R17L intermittent and currently out due to snow/ice at PLBL. -Hague – D. Fee noted in the SOH channel that low frequency noise worse on the last month. -Shishaldin – SSBA/AV36 and ISNN/AV38 low power, GNSS powered off at both stations to conserve power for seismic data. -Westdahl – WECS seismic offline to conserve power for GNSS and radios. -Akutan -LVA out due to low voltage. -Okmok – OKAK and OKWE no telemetry. – -Bogoslof – BOGO completely out last week. -Atka – KOSE/KONE data gaps last week, presumably rime ice at repeater. -Adak – Infrasound element 6 is not working and element 2 reported as having reversed polarity. -Tanaga/Gareloi – TASO, GANO and GAEA – Outage early last week likely due to icing/snow on radio antenna at TASE. -Little Sitkin -Gappy data and outages from LSNW and LSSA probably due to icing on LSSA radio antennas.
