Kīlauea Volcano’s 2018 eruption and summit collapse provided a rare opportunity to study dynamic eruptive processes beneath and at the surface of the volcano.

As Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park prepares to reopen its gates, park officials want to ensure that the public and NVNP staff are as safe as possible.

On Saturday, Sept. 8, Puʻu ʻŌʻō crater experienced a series of small collapses.

Scientists share lessons from Kīlauea at “Cities on Volcanoes” conference.

Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, U.S. Geological Survey, issued an update on Kīlauea's activity on Thursday, Sept. 6, 2018, at 9:10 a.m.

Weakly active lava continues to fill the Fissure 8 cone with no lava extending outside the walls of the cone and no flows heading down the spillway.

On the backside of Fissure 8 in the Leilani Estates Subdivision, several new lava tree molds have formed. 

Yesterday afternoon and early evening, spattering was observed in the Fissure 8 cone.

The USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory has an extensive network of instruments that helps us monitor how the ground deforms due to magma moving underground.

Seismic and volcanic activity have diminished greatly. No incandescence was visible in Fissure 8; no lava is entering the ocean.
