Two paroxysmal eruptions of Young Sheveluch occurred in February 27 and September 22, 2005, that followed by a growth of lava domes. Field studies conducted by the IVS revealed the limit of the pyroclastic and in-depth and lateral distribution of the temperature in deposits. The GPS measurements and ASTER satellite imagery allows to estimate the length, square and volume of the pyroclastic deposits.
