Kamchatkan Branch of the Geophysical Survey (KBGS) RAS has being monitored
volcanic activity since February 2000 (http://emsd.iks.ru/~ssl/monitoring/main.htm)
using three remote methods: 1) Seismic monitoring is a leading method (processing and
interpretation of the data from automatic telemetric seismic stations); 2) Visual and video
observation; 3) Satellite observation. Processing and interpretation of the sensor AVHRR
data from satellite NOAA. Data from KCCM (Kamchatsky Centre of Communication
and Monitoring).
In 2005, Sheveluch, Kluchevskoy, Bezymianny and Karymsky volcanoes had the
eruptions. Successful short-term eruption predictions (time and size) for Bezymianny and
Klyuchevskoy volcanoes were made by Research Laboratory of Seismic and Volcanic
Activity (KBGS) and passed to Kamchatkan Branch of Russian Advisory Council.
