The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) on Monday, Jan. 6 reported an increase in “seismic energy release” from Taal Volcano, which could trigger “a phreatic or even a minor phreatomagmatic eruption.”
Phivolcs said that since Jan. 4, the Taal Volcano Network has recorded a significant surge in real-time seismic energy measurements (RSAM) from stations located on Taal Volcano Island (TVI).
