Hundreds of volcanic explosions detected underwater at Kīlauea
The explosions, identified during the 2018 eruption phase, offer a clear acoustic signal that researchers could use to measure ocean properties.
Kilauea
Making the Most of Volcanic Eruption Responses
Last year, a new collaborative initiative conducted a hypothetical volcano response exercise. A month later, they put the knowledge gained to use during an actual eruption.
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.
A New Tool for Studying Volcanic Eruptions Like Kīlauea
A new study sheds light on how magma erodes the conduit it flows through.
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.
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.
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.
