The article presents the methods and results of the magnetotelluric sounding within the Avacha-Koryaksky group of volcanoes. Geoelectrical section was studied within the period range from 0.0001 to 1000 seconds and above. The authors performed a numerical two-dimensional modeling. Initially, we used test models for possible distortions of curves. The analysis of the magnetotelluric parametres allowed us to characterize the geoelectrical inhomogenuities. Curves along the strike and across the strike were used as main curves. Since longitudinal curves are less prone to coast effect, they were used with transverse curves in order to create a geoelectrical model based on a 2D magnetotelluric field numerical modeling. The created geolectrical model has a conductive bed in the upper part of the section that is connected with an igneous-sedimentary cover. The deep part of the model includes near-vertical conductive zones, which denote a zone with deep faults. The paper describes possible nature of the revealed anomalies and provides rough estimation of rock porosity in the conductive zones.

This book is the fi rst basic edition considering the issues of genetic volcanology. Petrological aspects of magma formation have been investigated as well as physical processes that account for the mechanisms of various types of eruptions. Continuous calc-alkaline series of the Klyuchevskoy volcano rocks (high-Mg basalts – high-Al basaltic andesites) have been shown to form due to decompression fractionation of dark-colored minerals taking place mostly between the eruptions during the pauses of magma migration. For the fi rst time a volcano has been presented as a wideband generator of periodic processes occurring within the intervals from a few seconds to a few days. To study the above processes, a unique large experimental facility representing a laboratory volcano was designed and constructed. Physical modelling carried out using this facility allowed developing a new classifi cation of gas-hydrodynamic regimes occurring in long vertical columns. Physical principles accounting for the monotonous and periodic types of eruptions of basalt and basaltic andesite volcanoes have been defi ned.
Dynamic model of the Klyuchevskoy volcano eruptions has been developed based upon the major aspects of basalt-basaltic andesite volcanism – magmatic melts evolution, periodicities in the eruption dynamics, and mechanisms of various types of eruptions.
For experts in geology, volcanology, petrology, mineralogy, geophysics, geothermal researches, oil geology, physics, gashydrodynamics, geography, and ecology.

A large amount of unique scientific data about the Kamchatka and the Kurile Island Arc volcanoes has been collected in the Institute of Volcanology and Seismology FEB RAS. The paper describes VOKKIA and KVERT information web-systems. VOKKIA is designed to integration and systematization of heterogeneous scientific data on the terrestrial and submarine volcanoes of Kurile-Kamchatka Island Arc including data on their eruptions. The KVERT system provides collection and storage of operational data of monitoring of active volcanoes. Besides, the article describes graphical visualization services that helps to detect the relationship, patterns and trends in volcanic processes over time.

The number of explosive eruptions at Shiveluch Volcano has significantly increased over the past years, which requires close volcanic monitoring using all available techniques. In order to implement a new monitoring technique into integrated methods of volcano monitoring, the authors analyze response to the intensity of the vertical component in the atmospheric electrical field (EZ AEF) during the movement of ash clouds. Two eruptions of different intensity that occurred December 16, 2016 and June 14, 2017 at Shiveluch were selected for study. We used a combination of satellite, seismic, and infrasound data to select signals in the EZ AEF field. Signals with negative polarity that accompanied ashfalls in the EZ AEF dynamics were registered for both eruptions within the closest area (< 50 km). In the former case, the ash cloud was “dry” and thus it caused aerial-electrical structure of the negatively charged cloud. In the latter case, a strong explosion sent into the atmosphere the large volume of ash and volcanic gases (98% in form of vapour) that resulted in the formation of a dipolar aerial-electrical structure caused by eolian differentiation within the closest area. At the distance of more than 100 km we registered a positivegoing signal that is attributive to the aerial-electrical structure of the positively charged type of the cloud.
