Kingstown – The La Soufriere volcano has been displaying “spectacular” mud flows over the past 24 hours, but the scientists say the seismic activity has remained low since the tremor associated with the explosion and ash on April 22.
Seismologist Roderick Stewart, speaking on the state-owned NBC Radio on Tuesday, said that the seismic network recorded signals from multiple lahars (mud flows) for about six hours on Monday.
“The lahars seem to have been spectacular again and a couple of my colleagues were up there when it was happening and they said at one point there were boulders that were five metres in diameter, that is 15 feet diameter boulders being rolled down by the lahars.

Scientists from the United Kingdom and Germany used drones in a first-of-its-kind analysis to have a coordinated bird s eye view of what seabirds see and how their behavior changes when tidal flows under them pass.
The study was based on the wake of a tidal turbine structure installed in a tidal channel-Strangford Lough in Northern Ireland-that had previously been known as a tern foraging hotspot.

It was discovered that terns were more likely to deliberately forage over vortices using a combination of drone monitoring and sophisticated statistical modeling (swirling patches of water).
