Abstract—We discuss the water!level variations in the E!1 well for the time period between May 2006 and
2010, inclusive. A trend towards an increasing level at an abnormally high rate occurred from mid!2006 to
December 2009. This increase is regarded as the response of the aquifer of gas!saturated ground water that
exists in the volcanogenic–sedimentary deposits of the Avacha volcano!tectonic depression to volumetric
strain changes during the precursory period and the occurrence of a swarm of small earthquakes ( = 8.3)
in the area of Koryakskii Volcano and to its phreatic eruption. We estimated the volumetric compression as
Δε = –(4.1 × 10–6–1.5 × 10–5) from the amplitude of water!level rise using the elastic parameters of the wa!
ter!saturated rocks. While the strain source was active, we observed a decreasing sensitivity of the hydrologic
regime in the well to the precursory processes before large (M ≥ 5.0) tectonic earthquakes.

On the territory of the Russian Far East, there are dozens of active volcanoes, requiring continuous attention of scientists for analysis and control of their condition. To provide solutions of various scientific problems, different information systems were implemented. However, disunity of information systems and limited data exchange between them limit the possibility of carrying out complex studies. This may result in disastrous consequences for the population and different fields of people's activities. The article describes the developed service-oriented software interface that implements interaction between the main existing information systems. The mutual use of accumulated sets of scientific data and processing instruments improves research and operational monitoring of the state of volcanoes in Kamchatka and Northern Kuriles.

Based on computer vision and machine learning methods, algorithms have been developed to classify images from fixed video cameras, as well as detect signs of volcanic activity in them. The results of testing the developed algorithms are presented using the example of observation data on the Klyuchevskoy and Sheveluch volcanoes. It is shown that the proposed solutions can be used for operational and retrospective monitoring of volcanic activity.

The article provides information about nival-volcanogenic, possibly glacial-volcanogenic, mudflows (lahars) on three streams on the south side of Atlasov Island (Kuril Islands, Russia). The island is an active stratovolcano Alaid, 2339 m asl high. The effusive-explosive eruption of the Alaid volcano began on September 10, 2022 and continues to the present day. Strombolian activity of the apical cone and lava outflow is observed. Lava filled the summit caldera by September 27. The lava flow then crossed the southern part of the caldera crest and began to descend down the erosional depression at the tops of the catchments of three unnamed streams. Photography and satellite images showed the presence of mudflow transformation of stream beds and slopes, and mudflows fan at the mouths of the streams. Analysis of meteorological and volcanological data showed that the formation of lahars was caused by rapid melting of snow/ice under the influence of lava flow and it occurred between September 29 and October 2.
