The 2019 Eruption Dynamics and Morphology at Ebeko Volcano Monitored by Unoccupied Aircraft Systems (UAS) and Field Stations

Ebeko is an active volcano on Paramushir Island, northern Kuril Islands, showing characteristic Vulcanian-type activity. In 2019, we started a comprehensive survey using a combination of field station records and repeated unoccupied aircraft system (UAS) surveys to describe the geomorphological features of the edifice and its evolution during ongoing activity. Seismic data revealed the activity of the volcano and were complemented by monitoring cameras, showing a mean explosion interval of 34 min. Digital terrain data generated from UAS quadcopter photographs allowed for the identification of the dimensions of the craters, a structural architecture and the tephra deposition at cm-scale resolution. The UAS was equipped with a thermal camera, which in combination with the terrain data, allowed it to identify fumaroles, volcano-tectonic structures and vents and generate a catalog of 282 thermal spots. The data provide details on a nested crater complex, aligned NNE-SSW, erupting on the northern rim of the former North Crater. -

Hydrothermal fluxes of magmatic chlorine and sulfur from volcano-hydrothermal systems of the Kuril Islands (Russia). Elena Kalacheva (1) and Yuri Taran (1,2) (1) Institute of Volcanology and Seismology, FED RAS, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky 683006, Russia ([email protected]), (2) Institute of Geophysics, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, México City 04510, México ([email protected]) The hydrothermal flux may be provided by the discharge of fluids formed at depth over the magma body and/or by acid waters, which are formed by the absorption of the ascending volcanic vapor by shallow groundwater. Thus, the anion composition (Cl and SO4) of the discharging thermal waters from a volcano-hydrothermal system in many cases originates from the volcanic vapor and should be taken into account in estimations of the magmatic volatile output and volatile recycling in subduction zones. Here we report the chemical composition of thermal waters and the measured solute fluxes from volcano-hydrothermal systems of Kuril Islands including Paramushir (Ebeko volcanic centre), Shiashkotan (volcanoes Sinarka and Kuntomintar), Ketoy (Pallas volcano), Kunashir (vol- canoes Mendeleev and Golovnin). The fluxes were estimated after measuring flow rates and water composition of streams that drain thermal fields of islands. The maximal hydrothermal flux of Cl and S within the Kuril Chain was measured for Ebeko volcano, Paramushir (drained by Yurieva River) as 82 t/d and 222 t/d of chloride and sulfate, respectively. This is comparable with output by fumaroles of Ebeko. -

the Sparkly Crystal Grid Book Crystal Grid Creations by the Students of Hibiscus Moon Crystal Academy Find out more at http://hibiscusmooncrystalacademy.com Hibiscus Moon Crystal Academy™, Copyright 2014 Page | 1 About this Booklet & Its Contributors Crystal Grids are defined by Hibiscus Moon as a "geometric pattern of energetically aligned stones charged by intention, set in a sacred space, for the purpose of manifesting a particular objective." She teaches her Crystal Grid class based on her best selling book, "Crystal Grids: How and Why they Work." We coaches of Hibiscus Moon Academy challenged Hibiscus Moon's Crystal Healing students to create a crystal grid based on all the knowledge they gained after that class. The results astounded us with the depth of knowledge, creativity, enthusiasm, quality and variation with all of the crystal grids that were submitted. This book reflects the hard work, ingenuity and amazing creativity of the students of Hibiscus Moon Crystal Academy. Every contributor deserves a huge round of applause for their amazing work. We hope these grids inspire you to get creative with your gridding and crystal work. This booklet was compiled by the Hibiscus Moon Crystal Coaches, Joe O'Connell, ACM, and Angie Yingst, ACM.

Russia Background
The World Factbook Central Asia :: Russia Introduction :: Russia Background: Founded in the 12th century, the Principality of Muscovy, was able to emerge from over 200 years of Mongol domination (13th-15th centuries) and to gradually conquer and absorb surrounding principalities. In the early 17th century, a new Romanov Dynasty continued this policy of expansion across Siberia to the Pacific. Under PETER I (ruled 1682-1725), hegemony was extended to the Baltic Sea and the country was renamed the Russian Empire. During the 19th century, more territorial acquisitions were made in Europe and Asia. Defeat in the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-05 contributed to the Revolution of 1905, which resulted in the formation of a parliament and other reforms. Repeated devastating defeats of the Russian army in World War I led to widespread rioting in the major cities of the Russian Empire and to the overthrow in 1917 of the imperial household. The communists under Vladimir LENIN seized power soon after and formed the USSR. The brutal rule of Iosif STALIN (1928-53) strengthened communist rule and Russian dominance of the Soviet Union at a cost of tens of millions of lives. The Soviet economy and society stagnated in the following decades until General Secretary Mikhail GORBACHEV (1985-91) introduced glasnost (openness) and perestroika (restructuring) in an attempt to modernize communism, but his initiatives inadvertently released forces that by December 1991 splintered the USSR into Russia and 14 other independent republics. Since then, Russia has shifted its post-Soviet democratic ambitions in favor of a centralized semi-authoritarian state in which the leadership seeks to legitimize its rule through managed national elections, populist appeals by President PUTIN, and continued economic growth.
