Increased earthquake activity and changes in the patterns of ground deformation at Kīlauea’s summit began occurring on June 7, 2023, indicating the movement of magma in the subsurface.
The eruption at Kīlauea volcano in Hawaii resumed at approximately 02:34 UTC on January 6, 2023, after nearly a month of pause.
The eruption at Mauna Loa that started on November 28, 2022, ended on December 13. This was the first eruption at the world’s largest active volcano since 1984 (VEI 0).
The eruption of Mauna Loa volcano that started on November 28, 2022, in its Northeast Rift Zone continues, with several fissures and lava flows active.
Seismic activity beneath the Mauna Loa volcano has been gradually increasing over the past 2 months. In addition, a small seismic swarm started on September 23, with most earthquakes in a cluster about 5 km (3.1 miles) wide and -2 to 1 km (-1.2 to 0.6 miles) below the surface. The Aviation Color Code is at Yellow and the Volcano Alert Level at Advisory.
Lava continues to erupt from multiple vents along the floor and western wall of Kilauea's Halemaʻumaʻu crater since September 29, 2021. As of October 3, 2021, all lava activity is confined within Halemaʻumaʻu in Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park….
Scientists at the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory are tracking changes on the Mauna Loa, the world's largest volcano. This volcano is currently not erupting, but there have been signs of elevated unrest above known background activity since July 2019, when HVO…
Researchers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California identified what triggers large-scale volcanic eruptions and the conditions that lead to them. Using data from the 2018 Kilauea eruption in Hawaii– its largest volcanic eruption in over 200…
A small swarm of shallow seismicity, that began at 11:00 UTC on March 18, 2021, is occurring beneath the upper Ka‘ōiki seismic zone, under Mauna Loa’s southeast flank and northwest of Kīlauea's summit, Hawaii. Mauna Loa Volcano is not erupting;…
Lava activity at Hawai'ian Kilauea volcano is confined to Halemaʻumaʻu with lava erupting from vents on the northwest side of the crater, the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) reported at 19:11 UTC on January 5, 2021. Early January 5 (UTC), the lava lake was…
