Timeline of volcanic activity of Fuego volcano, Guatemala 2015-2024

Database of volcanic activity at Fuego volcano, Guatemala from 2015 to 2024. The database compiles observations such as number of explosions, ash plume altitude, rockfalls, ashfall, and lava flow and pyroclastic flow occurrences. Compiled using daily and special bulletins of INSIVUMEH, the national agency responsible for monitoring volcanoes and other hazards in Guatemala. Built by Amelia Bain and Fabrizio Ponce. This database contextualises the volcanic activity at Fuego over the specified time period and may be useful for interpreting concurrent remote sensing, geophysical, or other observational data.
