Remote volcano is waking up after being dormant for 700,000 years Taftan volcano in southeastern Iran rose 3.5 inches over 10 months, signaling that it is waking up after 700,000 years of dormancy.

The volcano is #Taftan. It has not erupted in human history, but the fresh signal says the system is stirring and needs eyes on it.

Spontaneous Transient Summit Uplift at Taftan Volcano (Makran Subduction Arc) Imaged Using an InSAR Common‐Mode Filtering Method Evidence for a 10-month Taftan summit uplift episode due to a 490–630 m depth pressure source ending with increase in gas emissions Improved uplift characterization applying a novel satellite int...

🚨 New paper Alert! 🌋🛰️

We report the first signs of unrest at #Taftan Volcano (Makran Arc). Using InSAR and Common-Mode Filtering method, we detected a spontaneous 10-month summit uplift—without any external trigger—suggesting possible internal magmatic processes.

İran’ın 710 bin yıldır uyuyan dev volkanı harekete geçti İran’ın güneyinde, 710 bin yıldır sönmüş olduğu düşünülen Taftan Yanardağı’nda yeni hareketlilik tespit edildi. 7 Ekim’de Geophysical Research Letters dergisinde yayımlanan araştırmaya göre, volkanın zirvesine yakın bir bölgedeki zemin, Temmuz 2023 ile Mayıs 2024 arasında 9 santimetre yükseldi. Bu da yüzeyin altında gaz basıncının arttığını gösteriyor. Araştırmayı yürüten İspanya Ulusal Araştırma Konseyi’ne (CSIC) bağlı Doğal Ürünler ve Agrobiyoloji Enstitüsü’nden (IPNA) volkanolog Dr.
