The Kamchatka Volcanic Eruption Response Team (KVERT) is a Russian national institution dedicated to provide information of any volcanic activity taking place on the Kamchatka Peninsula and the Kuril Islands of Russia that could become a threat to local communities and aviation. It was established in 1993 by the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Institute of Volcanic Geology and Seismology (IVS FEB RAS) under cooperation with the Kamchatkan Branch of Geophysical Survey (KBGS RAS).[2] The Alaska Volcano Observatory (AVO), United States Geological Survey (USGS) and its affiliates also provide joint efforts to the program.[3] The KVERT website, posted in both Russian and English, allows users to view information on volcanoes in the region and monitor reports of active volcanoes. A section also provides 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]
