SINCE THE LAST EXPLOSION at La Soufrière on April 22, seismic signals from the stations still connected to the network, were reflecting a low activity level.
Giving an update on the National Broadcasting Corporation(NBC) radio yesterday morning, April 26, lead scientist on the ground monitoring the eruption, Professor Richard Robertson, noted that since Thursday’s eruption things have been relatively quiet.
Joining Robertson in giving this update was volcano-seismologist Roderick Stewart. Stewart explained that seismically, there have been different volcanic earthquakes, such as the volcano-tectonic, the long period, and the hybrid, that have been recorded throughout the explosive period.
