Prediction of volcanic activity, and volcanic eruption forecasting, is an interdisciplinary monitoring and research effort to predict the time and severity of a volcano's eruption. Of particular importance is the prediction of hazardous eruptions that could lead to catastrophic loss of life, property, and disruption of human activities.
The most active volcano in the Visayas, Kanlaon has erupted 30 times since 1819. Eruptions are typically phreatic of small-to-moderate size that produce minor ash falls around the volcano. In 1902, the eruption was classified as Strombolian, typified by the ejection of incandescent cinders, lapilli, lava bombs and gas fumes. [6]
Mount Kanlaon, a 2,435m volcano, has erupted over 40 times since 1866. It last erupted in June this year, sending hundreds of villagers to emergency shelters. Another eruption in 1996 killed at ...
