The paper provides results from application of designed modern computer techniques for interpretation of materials from complex geophysical investigation of submarine volcanoes 2.7 and 2.8, which are located west of the south-western coast of Onekotan Island in the Kurile island arc. The research resulted in estimation of rock magnetic properties in natural deposits and revealed that the south-western flanks of submarine volcano 2.8 are the most magnetized with their productive magnetization of about 2 A/m. The authors suggested that the feeding channels of volcano 2.7 stretch southwest, while the feeding channels of volcano 2.8 stretch subverticaly, southwest and southeast. A peripheral magma chamber of the volcano was revealed at the depth of about 650 m.

The article presents the results of integrated geologic-geophysical investigation of the Arkhangelsky submarine volcanic massif, which is located in the Bussol Strait in the central zone of the Kurile Island Arc. The massif consists of amalgamated and eroded volcanic edifices and is built up of endogenous basalts and exogenous tuffs. Rocks and minerals to the exclusion of quartz are hydrothermally altered; moreover they were altered after the formation of tuff. High values of the natural remnant magnetization of dredged rocks are caused by the high content of single-domain and pseudo-single-domain grains of titanomagnetite and magnetite. The Arkhangelsky massif most likely was formed during periods of global geomagnetic disturbances. The authors have revealed feeders of the near-vertical and southeastern trends and causative magnetic blocks with different geometric and magnetic characteristics in the edifice of the massif. A peripheral magma chamber has been revealed between depths of 1100–1200 m. At the southeast foot of the massif we found large landslide blocks.

The article presents the results of integrated geologic-geophysical investigation of the Ratmanov submarine volcanic massif, located in the Kurile Island Arc, 15 km southeast of the Chirinkotan island. There is a small submarine volcano on the northwestern slope of the massif with a relative height of 400–450 m, dredging of which raised andesites and a small number of andesite basalts. New data have been obtained on the mineral and chemical compositions and structural features of the massif rock formation. High values of the natural remnant magnetization of dredged rocks are caused by the high content of pseudo-single-domain of titanomagnetite grains. The foot of the massif is overlain by a volcanic-sedimentary sequence 400–800 m thick, and its formation most probably took place during periods of global geomagnetic disturbances. The maximum effective magnetization of the massif reaches 0.8 A / m. In the deep of the massif, supply channels, as well as peripheral magma chambers in the depth intervals of 3.8–4.6 km and 6–7.1 km, are identified.

Modern techniques for interdisciplinary investigation of submarine volcano 6.1 in the Kurile island arc. The paper suggests that there are peripheral magmatic chambers at depth 4,1 - 5,2 km and subvertical conduit channels, submarine volcano, Kurile island arc.

The article presents new data from field observations at Karymskiy in August 2012, which were carried out by a complex of equipment allowing recording infrasonic fluctuations, aerodynamic noise and intensity of the atmospheric electric field and volumetric activity of underground radon. It is shown that integrated geophysical observations are quite informative to monitor explosive volcanic activity. The analysis of wave disturbances in the atmosphere (the aerodynamic noise, air shock waves) and seismic events accompanying the fragmentation of magma allow us to get an insight about the physics of the explosive process. The dynamics of volumetric activity of radon near to Karymskiy is correlated to the activity of the volcano, which indicates the perspective of such observations.

The results of monitoring at high-temperature fumarolic fields (Eastern and Western) of Avachinsky volcano in 2013–2020 are presented. Those were visual observations, temperature measurement and gas sampling, supplemented with video surveillance data. In order to identify the relationship between fumarolic activity and deep processes, the analysis of the volcano area seismicity for the specified period was carried out. Two periods of increased seismic activity have been identified. The first period, November 2014 – January 2015, is associated with changes in the character of gas emission, morphology and temperature of Western Fumarole observed in the field, reflected in the ratio of gas fluxes of the two high-temperature fumarolic fields. The second seismic increase, in October – December 2019, was accompanied in the dark by glowing, sometimes by bright flashes in the area of Western Fumarole, and as a result of ground survey in 2020 further changes in its morphology were revealed.

Эксплозивные извержения вулканов являются наиболее опасными в мире в связи с высокой энергетикой вулканогенного процесса и их непредсказуемостью. Для обеспечения безопасности населения при извержениях необходимо проведение вулканологами комплексного мониторинга вулканов с использованием данных всех доступных видов наблюдений (дистанционных и наземных инструментальных средств, метеоинформации). Созданная в 2011-2015 гг. совместными усилиями специалистов ИВиС ДВО РАН, ИКИ РАН, ВЦ ДВО РАН и ДВ НИЦ Планета ИС “Дистанционный мониторинг активности вулканов Камчатки и Курил (VolSatView)” ориентирована на непрерывный мониторинг вулканической активности Камчатки и Курил и анализ влияния извержений на окружающую среду.
