Deep Submarine Fresh Water: A New Resource for Volcanic Islands?
The discovery of large freshwater reservoirs off Hawaii suggests that other volcanic islands may have similar resources, which could help meet water demands amid population growth and climate change.
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.
A Tried-and-True Medium to Broaden the Reach of Science
Television programming reaches broad, diverse audiences, but scientists must help tell their own stories and speak to the communities in which they live.
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.
Looking Straight at the Sun
Thanks to some crucial calibrations, the world’s biggest solar telescope will have a clearer view of the Sun.
Hawaiian Volcano Observatory Searches for a New Home
Seismic activity during the eruption of Kīlauea damaged the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory beyond repair. Now officials are looking for a new site.
A New Tool for Studying Volcanic Eruptions Like Kīlauea
A new study sheds light on how magma erodes the conduit it flows through.
Kīlauea Eruption Abruptly Slows Down
Volcanologists say it’s too soon to know whether the sudden drop in activity signals the end of the eruption or just a pause.
