Spurr (Cook Inlet, SW Alaska): (10 Oct) The Alaska Volcano Observatory (AVO) reported that an increased seismic activity at the volcano was first noted in April 2024, following the repair of seismic monitoring stations after a months-long outage.
Since then, over 900 earthquakes have been recorded this year, clustered in two regions: one at depths of 0 to 6 miles (0 to 10 km) beneath the volcano, and another at 12 to 22 miles (20 to 35 km) southeast of the Crater Peak vent. The largest earthquake, with a magnitude of M 2.3, occurred on October 6, 2024. The weekly rate (~20 earthquakes) and magnitude have remained steady since April. This increase in seismic activity bears similarities to previous episodes at the volcano, such as those between August 1991 and June 1992, which preceded the 1992 eruptions, and between 2004 and 2006, when heightened seismic activity accompanied significant summit heating and ice cap melting.
