“Mahalo to [Big Island Now’s] Hunter Bishop for initiating a discussion about the myths driving Mayor Kenoi’s plan to incinerate our valuable resources.”

Scientists, including those who study volcanoes, will be closely watching the findings from the OCO-2 satellite launched from California last week.

Take a look at the reality of Mayor Billy Kenoi’s proposed solution to the Big Island’s solid waste problem.

The Kahaualeʻa 2 flow is no more, as activity shifts to another area of the Puʻu ʻŌʻō vent on Kīlauea’s East Rift Zone.

An eruption that began in 1880 went on for many months, creating a lava flow that stopped below what is now Komohana Street.

The video is being shared widely on social media and so far has over 48,000 views on YouTube.

Monica Morita spent 25 years at USC where she was director of student services and the athletic department’s top employee of 2014.

The lava flow on Kilauea’s East Rift Zone is moving in fits and starts, as scientists monitor possibly correlated activities elsewhere on the volcano.

The massive volcano that dominates the southern part of the Big Island is revealing some activity similar to that seen prior to its last eruption in 1984.

The flow from a 14-month eruption beginning in 1856 stopped just short of Kaumana City, halted by Mauna Loa’s diminished output of lava.

Controversial Rep. Faye Hanohano has more Democratic challengers than she had in the previous three elections combined — which may work to her advantage.

Satellite imagery is helping scientists and civil authorities to gauge how many homes and other structures are located in areas threatened by volcanic activity.

The Big Island observatory will play a role similar to other efforts Lockheed is involved in, including a $2 billion project to track “space junk.”

A new meteor shower — maybe even a storm — could debut tonight.

“Wet volcanoes,” which can have craters hosting lakes, can produce deadly volcanic mud flows, surges of scorching-hot rock debris and steam-driven eruptions.

“The current state administration is dragging their feet and not expediting these critical infrastructure projects, which are literally shovel ready.”

Preliminary figures show Maui Mayor Alan Arakawa with a slim 1% lead over Mayor Billy Kenoi for the koa slippah.
