Hundreds of Volcanic Explosions Detected Underwater at Kīlauea

by Jenessa Duncombe 14 December 202120 December 2021

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.

Insights from the Depths of Hawaii’s Kīlauea Volcano

by Kate Wheeling 11 March 20215 October 2021

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.

Lava Clues Chronicled Kīlauea’s Unusual 2018 Eruption

by I. Loomis 26 December 20189 November 2021

Samples from Kīlauea volcano’s extraordinary eruption that began last May could offer important insights into the behavior of volcanoes and the underlying mantle.

A 7 August overflight showed weakly bubbling lava at Kīlauea’s fissure 8, a significant change from flows in prior weeks.
