Volcanic Tremor and Deformation at Kīlauea
Two new studies investigate activity at Hawaii’s Kīlauea leading up to and following the 2018 eruption to better understand the volcano’s plumbing and behavior.
Insights from the Depths of Hawaii’s Kīlauea Volcano
One of the world’s best monitored and most active volcanos still has secrets to yield, and researchers are turning to vapor bubbles trapped in melt inclusions to find them.
From Lava to Water: A New Era at Kīlauea
At Kīlauea Volcano, scientists are using unoccupied aircraft to monitor the new water lake, a possible harbinger of explosive activity, that formed after the volcano’s 2018 eruption.
Fault Dips Figured in Kīlauea’s Caldera Collapse
Large-volume volcanic eruptions can create instabilities in the ground above magma chambers, leading to massive collapses and telltale calderas.
Lava Clues Chronicled Kīlauea’s Unusual 2018 Eruption
Samples from Kīlauea volcano’s extraordinary eruption that began last May could offer important insights into the behavior of volcanoes and the underlying mantle.
Four Ways Kīlauea Is Redrawing the Map
From burying communities to building new land, this historic eruption is changing the landscape of Hawai‘i Island.
Faster Lava Flows, Explosive Eruptions Begin at Kīlauea
Scientists say the dramatic increase in flows is likely due to the arrival of younger, hotter magma in the system.
Hawaii's Swelling Lava Lake Charts a Volcano's Hidden Plumbing
Geophysicists used unique seismic signatures to track the cyclic rise and fall of lava inside Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park's Overlook crater.
Scientists Engage With the Public During Lava Flow Threat
How do scientists communicate with the public during natural disasters, such as lava flows?
