The Kamchatka Volcanic Eruption Response Team (KVERT) is a Russian national institution dedicated to provide information of any
webcameras at select locations that update regularly.[4] Currently, around 66 active volcanoes (31 on the Kamchatka Peninsula and 35 in the Kuril Islands) are routinely monitored.[3] The majority of the volcanoes on the Kuril Islands are monitored by the Sakhalin Volcanic Eruption Response Team (SVERT), which is located in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, but all reports of volcanic activity in the island chain are posted in joint effort on the KVERT website.[5][6]
The offices for KVERT are located at the Institute of Volcanic Geology and Seismology in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky on the Kamchatka Peninsula.[7]
Monitored volcanoes
The following list shows volcanoes currently monitored by KVERT or SVERT. Many rely on the use activity detection instruments or satellite and local observations. While the majority of these volcanoes are in remote locations and would only pose a threat to aviation, there are a few in some areas that could have an impact on populated communities.[7][8] Monitored volcanoes are not limited to the ones currently listed, and more may be added in the future if necessary.
