The Taupō Supervolcano – What You Need to Know
Stuff - National: 22-Sept-2022
For the first time in its history, GNS Science has raised Taupō’s volcanic alert level from 0 to 1 after more than 700 tremors under or around the lake were recorded since January.
A Volcanic Alert Level (VAL) of 1 means “minor volcanic unrest”, in this case ongoing earthquakes and ground deformation at the Taupō volcano.
About 40 quakes a week have been detected in and around Taupō volcano since May, and they are forming two clusters in the central part of the lake and smaller clusters to the north of Taupō town and to the southwest, near Tūrangi.
An event such as this would generate plenty of earth deformation geodetic control re-surveys and cadastral definition headaches.....
