This is, without a doubt, the most intellectually exciting time to be a volcanologist at the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory.

Deformation signals are consistent with slow refilling the middle East Rift Zone. At the summit, tiltmeters showed little significant change this week.

With these much lower emissions, many people have expressed surprise that a strong and slightly unfamiliar smell can be detected from KÄ«lauea during certain wind conditions.

Has it already been six months since lava began flowing through Hawai`i County’s lower Puna district?

A slight inflationary trend near and east of Puʻu ʻŌʻŠsuggests that magma may be refilling the middle East Rift Zone. Low seismicity and reduced gas emissions do not indicate that the magma is shallow, but HVO continues to closely monitor this area and will report any significant changes.

Computer programs known as Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have been the preferred tool of USGS cartographers for many years. Using commercial GIS software, the user creates a stack of “layers,†such as labels, roads, and political boundaries that together form a map.

The 2018 summit collapse and lower East Rift Zone eruption at Kīlauea Volcano were dramatic and, for many Island of Hawaiʻi residents, tragic events. As with all eruptive crises, these events offered exceptional opportunities to learn more about how volcanoes work and to answer some “bigger picture†questions.

Upon contact with water, either through ash falling into water catchments or by rain falling on ash, the soluble components are washed from the ash.

KÄ«lauea is not erupting. Summit and East Rift Zone activity are greatly reduced, with low rates of seismicity, deformation, and gas emissions recorded this past week.
