I have looked at weather modification and earthquake activity.
These next stories are reports of volcanic activity around the globe, all within the space of 3 days.
All reports are from the Extinction Protocol

A series of 8 tremors have erupted at the Long Valley super-volcano caldera over the last 24 hours- two yesterday, and six tremors today. The tremors today were a 1.1 mag (3.2 km), a 2.5 mag (4.5 km), a 1.6 mag (4.5 km), a 1.2 mag (2.8 km), a 1.5 mag (7.9 km) and a 1.3 mag at (3.7 km). This could be the beginning of a swarm so we’ll keep monitoring events and look for updates
Sutopo Purwo Nugrogo said Lokon was shaken by another volcanic tremor in Tomohon, North Sulawesi. In addition, the volcano is stirred by 1 to 3 shallow tremors every 5 minutes. If activity continues to increase at the volcano, officials fear an eruption could be imminent.
The Shiveluch volcano on Russia’s Far Eastern Kamchatka Peninsula on Thursday ejected an ash cloud to as high as nearly 11km above the sea level, the Itar-Tass news agency reported
Lava
flows from Puu Oo vent are spreading over the coastal plain in
Kalapana and over the weekend entered the Hawaii Volcanoes National
Park
About
3600 years ago, at the height of Minoan civilization, Santorini let
loose with one of the largest volcanic eruptions in history. The
explosion blanketed nearby islands with piles of ash hundreds of feet
thick and sent out a gigantic tsunami that devastated Crete, about 68
miles to the south. Smaller eruptions across the ensuing millennia
ended abruptly in 1950. Then, after 60 years of calm, the caldera
reawakened early last year with an escalating swarm of earthquakes.
When geologists took a closer look, they could see the ground was
swelling as well, as though the sleeping giant were yawning. The
earthquakes and ground deformation scientists observed between 2011
and early 2012 are unprecedented since the 1950 eruption. But just
because a volcano is sucking in breath doesn’t mean it will spew.
Iceland’s Eyjafjallajökull stratovolcano really let loose in 2010
after its own swarm of deformation-driven tremors, but Long Valley
caldera in California has been breathing heavily since 1980 with no
eruption at all. In a recent analysis of the volcano published in
Geophysical Research Letters, scientists estimate Santorini’s
latest inflation is due to 14.1 million cubic meters of magma
accumulating in a chamber about 4.5 kilometers below the surface.
That may sound like a scary-big mass of melted rock, but it
represents only about 0.03 percent of the estimated eruptive volume
from the monstrous 1650 B.C. eruption—not nearly enough for a
repeat performance. Should Santorini erupt, it will most likely be a
relatively tame event, the study’s authors say.
Mt.
Etna volcano erupted for the seventh – and without doubt the most
spectacular – time this year today, spewing forth molten lava
hundreds of meters into the air. Residents living close by were
covered in hot ash but Europe’s tallest and most active volcano
didn’t seem to pose any threat to human safety. Local inhabitants
of the Sicilian town of Catania were grateful that Etna at least
didn’t close the local airport as it did last month, preventing a
visiting Serie A football team from leaving the island. The highest
active volcano in Europe has blown its top three times in the past
month alone, depositing a surface of black ash on its snowy higher
slopes. Standing nearly 11,000ft high, Etna regularly. Tunnels and
ditches have been dug to protect their villages from the lava flow

Residents at the foot of Mexico’s Popocatepetl volcano no longer sleep soundly since the towering mountain roared back into action over a week ago, spewing out a hail of rocks, steam and ash
North
Sulawesi’s Mount Lokon erupted at 10:20 a.m. on Tuesday, after
several days of increased activity, the National Disaster Mitigation
Agency (BNPB) has announced. The height at which lava shot out of the
volcano was unknown because clouds were blocking the full view. The
agency declared areas within a 2.5 kilometers radius from the
mountain’s peak dangerous and urged nearby residents to stay alert.
There are no residential areas within that zone. However, the agency
said that the residents living outside the zone do not need to
evacuate yet. “There might be other eruptions. We call on the
residents to stay calm,” agency spokesman Sutopo Purwo Nugroho said
in a statement sent to The Jakarta Post. Sutopo added that officers
from the agency had been deployed to the area to assist local
authorities.
Over
the weekend, the Tungurahua’s volcanic eruption had a strong
explosion that caused gravel to fall down in the nearby town of
Pillate, Ecuador. The explosion, characterized by its loud “cannon
ball shot”, was immediately detected by locals and scientists
observing the volcano’s progress. The explosion was later followed
by a slight tremor and a constant pulsation of “high energy” said
reports. The constant cloud coverage surrounding the volcano has
caused scientists, from the Geophysical Institute branch of the
National Polytechnic School to have trouble determining its current
state. Most of the direct observations are conducted in the Guadalupe
Observatory, the closest in the vicinity. Tungurahua, located in the
Andes Mountains in Ecuador, is 5,016 meters high and its eruptions
began in 1999. Since then, the volcano has transitioned from times of
high activity and those of calm. However, Tungurahua is not the only
volcano causing extreme damage and concern in the Hispanic world.
Popocatépetl, located in Mexico City, has also been under close
watch due to its recent activity which included ash blasts.
