abstract = {Rapid transitions in eruptive activity during lava dome eruptions pose significant
challenges for monitoring and hazard assessment. A comprehensive understanding
of the dynamic evolution of active lava dome systems requires extensive sets of
multi-parametric datasets to fully constrain and understand shifts in eruptive behavior, but
few such datasets have been compiled. The Santiaguito lava dome complex, Guatemala,
is a remarkable example of an open-vent volcanic system where continuous eruptive
activity has typically been characterized by cycles of effusion and frequent, small to
moderate, gas-and-ash explosions. During 2015–2016 the volcano experienced a rapid
intensification of activity including large vulcanian explosions, frequently accompanied
by pyroclastic density currents. Here we present a chronology of the eruptive activity at
Santiaguito from November 2014–May 2017, compiled from field observations (visual
and thermal) and activity reports. We also present seismic and acoustic infrasound
data collected during the same period, the longest and largest dataset collected at
Santiaguito to date. Three major phases of eruptive activity took place during the
study period.},
