A new volcanic vent just opened in Yellowstone! What does it mean for the supervolcano beneath? Scientists explain why we should stay curious, not scared. #Yellowstone #VolcanoWatch #Geology

Watching live feeds, as one does.
Worrying about people in a tiny town on the other side of the world. This feels manageable, in a way, where worrying about wars feels more...I don't know.
Be safe over there.
Some cool pics of the area *now* where this eruption may occur. It's a trip how the entire landscape will change again, once an eruption occurs.

It would be helpful to include said graphic. 🙄

British geologist HH Read once said the best geologist is the one who has “seen the most rocks.” So perhaps the best possible understanding of #Kilauea hinges on the most observations. #HVO reflects on two centuries of written records in #VolcanoWatch.

The history of Kaluapele (#Kilauea caldera) includes periods of rising lava within Halemaʻumaʻu, often to the point of overflowing. #DYK the highest level of lava in the past 2 centuries was reached in the first few months of 1894?

Paleomagnetism allows us to delve into Earth's magnetic past & understand how our planet evolved over time. In this #VolcanoWatch, we explore paleomagnetism, its components, significance & contributions of Duane Champion, who passed away earlier this year. usgs.gov/observatories/hvo/n…

#Kilauea June 7 data: A rapid increase in EQs as pressure builds & rocks break. Lava bursts from ground & a conduit is established. Volcanic tremor (movement of fluid) becomes the dominant signal. #VolcanoWatch https://www.usgs.gov/observatories/hvo/news/volcano-watch-reflections-recent-eruptions #volcano #usgs

With no ground-based instruments nearby, AVO scientists used remote sensing (InSAR) to reveal inflation at Mount Edgecumbe (AK). InSAR & EQs suggest influx of magma at depth (no eruption imminent). Fieldwork & studies continue.

Geoscience is full of tools to investigate the past. But one important tool can sometimes be overlooked: oral history. Good stories are usually rooted in real events. Read a dreaming story from Australia & a legend from Iceland in this week's #VolcanoWatch https://www.usgs.gov/observatories/hvo/news/volcano-watch-legends-eruptions-past #volcano #usgs
KÄ«lauea volcano in #Hawaii can have impressive explosive eruptions, and this week's #HVO #VolcanoWatch tells the story of one from 99 years ago!

Five years ago, volcanic activity at #Kilauea dramatically changed when magma intruded into the lower East Rift Zone (#LERZ). #HVO reflects on the destructive 2018 eruption in this week’s #VolcanoWatch. https://www.usgs.gov/observatories/hvo/news/volcano-watch-five-years-flow-reflections-destructive-2018-eruption-kilauea #volcano #usgs
The first of #USGS’ family of 5 volcano observatories began with the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory in 1912. Back then, Hawaii wasn't a state & Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park didn't exist. #HVO reflects on 111 years of history, in this week’s #VolcanoWatch https://www.usgs.gov/observatories/hvo/news/volcano-watch-todays-family-five-usgs-volcano-observatories-began-hvo-over #volcano #usgs
Scientists are about to embark on a new #Kilauea research project that will help reveal shallow subsurface structures & places where bodies of magma are stored. Yes, it involves that big rig. More about the Kīlauea Seismic Imaging Project in #VolcanoWatch: usgs.gov/observatories/hvo/n…
April is Tsunami Awareness Month in Hawaii. Learn more from the International Tsunami Information Center: itic.ioc-unesco.org and head over to the Pacific Tsunami Museum in Hilo on April 22 (1-4 pm) for a free preparedness workshop. #VolcanoWatch: usgs.gov/observatories/hvo/n…
Laterally directed explosive eruptions can have devastating impacts. US & New Zealand researchers collected field-scale explosion data from 9 acoustic sensors surrounding a tiltable water cannon to understand energy dynamics of these events. #VolcanoWatch: usgs.gov/observatories/hvo/n…
