Hawaii 24/7

(Activity updates are written by scientists at the U.S. Geological Survey’s Hawaiian Volcano Observatory.)  Surface flows have been active on the pali within Royal Gardens subdivision throughout the past week, burning forest and one unoccupied structure. At the coast, the Waikupanaha and Kupapau ocean entries remain active and continue to produce steam plumes and small […]

(Activity updates are written by scientists at the U.S. Geological Survey’s Hawaiian Volcano Observatory.)  Surface flows in the Royal Gardens subdivision slowed early in the week in response to a deflation-inflation (DI) event at Kilauea’s summit last weekend.  The flows had picked up again by mid-week, but another DI event, which began late Wednesday, July […]

(Activity updates are written by scientists at the U.S. Geological Survey’s Hawaiian Volcano Observatory.)  Surface flows in the Royal Gardens subdivision may have stagnated early this past week in response to a deflation-inflation (DI) event at Kilauea’s summit. Smoke continues to rise, however, from forested kipuka in the subdivision, indicating that at least some burning […]

(Activity updates are written by scientists at the U.S. Geological Survey’s Hawaiian Volcano Observatory.)  The Waikupanaha and Kupapau ocean entries remain active.  After months of surface flows, the lava tube feeding the Kupapau entry has established itself. There have been no new breakouts on the coastal plain in nearly two weeks, but there was a […]

(Activity updates are written by scientists at the U.S. Geological Survey’s Hawaiian Volcano Observatory.)  The Waikupanaha and Kupapau ocean entries remain active and have had occasional small littoral explosions. Surface flows on the coastal plain have diminished over the past week and were absent by Tuesday, April 28. At Kilauea’s summit, the vent within Halemaumau […]

(Activity updates are written by scientists at the U.S. Geological Survey’s Hawaiian Volcano Observatory.)  The Waikupanaha and Kupapau ocean entries remain active, with small littoral explosions common at the Kupapau entry over the past week.  Surface flows inland from Kupapau remain active along the eastern boundary of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.  At Kilauea’s summit, the […]

(Activity updates are written by scientists at the U.S. Geological Survey’s Hawaiian Volcano Observatory.)  The Waikupanaha and Kupapau ocean entries remain active. Surface flows inland from Kupapau, which began late last week following a deflation–inflation (DI) event at Kilauea’s summit, remain active along the eastern boundary of the National Park. At Kilauea’s summit, the vent […]

(Activity updates are written by scientists at the U.S. Geological Survey’s Hawaiian Volcano Observatory.)  The Waikupanaha and Kupapau ocean entries remain active. Surface flows over the past week have broadened the Kupapau delta, which now extends along the coastline for about 0.6 miles. A deflation/inflation (DI) event at Kilauea’s summit (ongoing as of Thursday, April […]

(Activity updates are written by scientists at the U.S. Geological Survey’s Hawaiian Volcano Observatory.) The Waikupanaha and Kupapau ocean entries remain active, though activity at the Kupapau entry has been subdued over the past week.  Only a few surface flows were observed on the coastal plain Thursday, March 26, with this reduced activity possibly due […]

(Activity updates are written by scientists at the U.S. Geological Survey’s Hawaiian Volcano Observatory.) The Waikupanaha ocean entry remains active, as does a new ocean entry near Kupapau that started late last week.  Though a deflation/inflation (DI) event at Kilauea’s summit Wednesday and Thursday may have slightly perturbed the flow of lava through the lava […]

(Activity updates are written by scientists at the U.S. Geological Survey’s Hawaiian Volcano Observatory.) The Waikupanaha ocean entry remains active, and a small collapse early Wednesday morning (March 11) removed part of the delta there.  West of the ocean entry, lava flows were active on the coastal plain and had reached to within 200 yards […]
