Geological Summary

Piratkovsky, identified by Masurenkov (1980) as a mid-Pleistocene to Holocene stratovolcano with a small caldera, is NE of Khodutka volcano. It partially overlaps Pleistocene volcanoes to the NW and lies at the eastern margin of the Quaternary volcanic chain of southern Kamchatka. This was not included by Ponomareva et al. (2007) in their review of Holocene volcanoes in Kamchatka.

This volcano is located within the Volcanoes of Kamchatka, a UNESCO World Heritage property.

Eruptive History

The Global Volcanism Program is not aware of any Holocene eruptions from Piratkovsky. If this volcano has had large eruptions (VEI >= 4) prior to 12,000 years ago, information might be found on the Piratkovsky page in the LaMEVE (Large Magnitude Explosive Volcanic Eruptions) database, a part of the Volcano Global Risk Identification and Analysis Project (VOGRIPA).

Deformation History

There is no Deformation History data available for Piratkovsky.

Emission History

There is no Emissions History data available for Piratkovsky.

Piratkovsky in southern Kamchatka is just below the center of this September 2018 Planet Labs satellite image monthly mosaic (N is at the top; this image is approximately 30 km across). The northern part of the unvegetated area in the center is Perevalny, and the volcano with a summit crater to the SW is Khodutka.

The Copernicus Browser replaced the Sentinel Hub Playground browser in 2023, to provide access to Earth observation archives from the Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem, the main distribution platform for data from the EU Copernicus missions.

WOVOdat
   Single Volcano View
   Temporal Evolution of Unrest
   Side by Side Volcanoes

WOVOdat is a database of volcanic unrest; instrumentally and visually recorded changes in seismicity, ground deformation, gas emission, and other parameters from their normal baselines. It is sponsored by the World Organization of Volcano Observatories (WOVO) and presently hosted at the Earth Observatory of Singapore.

GVMID Data on Volcano Monitoring Infrastructure The Global Volcano Monitoring Infrastructure Database GVMID, is aimed at documenting and improving capabilities of volcano monitoring from the ground and space. GVMID should provide a snapshot and baseline view of the techniques and instrumentation that are in place at various volcanoes, which can be use by volcano observatories as reference to setup new monitoring system or improving networks at a specific volcano. These data will allow identification of what monitoring gaps exist, which can be then targeted by remote sensing infrastructure and future instrument deployments.

IRIS seismic stations/networks

Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS) Data Services map showing the location of seismic stations from all available networks (permanent or temporary) within a radius of 0.18° (about 20 km at mid-latitudes) from the given location of Piratkovsky. Users can customize a variety of filters and options in the left panel. Note that if there are no stations are known the map will default to show the entire world with a "No data matched request" error notice.

Users can customize the data search based on station or network names, location, and time window. Requires Adobe Flash Player.

Large Eruptions of Piratkovsky

Information about large Quaternary eruptions (VEI >= 4) is cataloged in the Large Magnitude Explosive Volcanic Eruptions (LaMEVE) database of the Volcano Global Risk Identification and Analysis Project (VOGRIPA).
