Taal Volcano emitted 129 metric tons of sulfur dioxide over the past 24 hours, down from 289 metric tons daily in recent days, according to PHIVOLCS.

LUCENA CITY – The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology reported the decline in its Tuesday morning bulletin. The latest figure remains above the year's lowest daily output of 59 metric tons recorded on July 14.

PHIVOLCS also detected three volcanic earthquakes and two volcanic tremor events lasting between four and 480 minutes. The volcano remains under Alert Level 1, indicating possible sudden steam-driven eruptions and hazardous gas emissions.

No upwelling of hot fluids was observed in the Main Crater Lake, and no volcanic smog was detected. Entry to Taal Volcano Island stays prohibited, and aircraft are advised to avoid the crater area.

Volcanic plume unexpectedly destroyed methane after 2022 eruption

Scientists have found that the 2022 eruption of an underwater volcano in the South Pacific triggered a chemical process that removed significant amounts of methane from the atmosphere. The discovery, detailed in a new study, shows how volcanic ash and seawater combined to break down the potent greenhouse gas.

The low pressure area formerly known as Tropical Cyclone Caloy is forecast to weaken and dissipate over the Philippine Sea by Friday or Saturday without affecting the country.

LPA unlikely to affect Philippine landmass or redevelop into cyclone

The low-pressure area inside the Philippine area of responsibility will not directly affect the landmass and is unlikely to redevelop into a tropical cyclone, the state weather bureau said on Saturday.

Volcanic event transformed oceanic plate beneath plateau

Scientists have found that Earth's largest volcanic outpouring more than 100 million years ago altered the structure and chemistry of the oceanic plate below the Ontong Java Plateau. Seismic data revealed networks of vertical magma channels and signs of chemical change in the rock. The findings were published in Geophysical Research Letters.
