In November 2025, the deformation pattern around #MaunaLoa’s summit changed. Where previous motions indicated reinflation of magma chamber underneath Moku’āweoweo (summit caldera), inflation shifted to a body underneath the southwestern portion of the summit region.

Earth is shaking shit up and volcanos that were once dormant, are now waking up

*looks at Ethiopia , Italy, Alaska, Indonesia, etc*
The recent federal shutdown put a pause on the distribution of the U.S.G.S Hawaiian Volcano Observatory’s Volcano Watch feature. ⏸️
With the government now open again, #HVO geologist Katie Mulliken catches up on Kīlauea 🌋 in the return of the weekly article. 📰✨

It’s interesting we have a volcano potentially waking back up.

One of the primary challenges #HVO technicians face is the terrain itself. Volcanic landscapes are notoriously difficult to navigate. From sharp ʻaʻā & fragile shelly pāhoehoe lava fields with unstable rocky slopes to thick, tangled rainforests, techs often hike.

I told y’all.
"When most people think of erupting water, they probably have geysers in mind. However, #Kīlauea & its diverse style of eruptions are also significantly impacted by water. In fact, some of Kīlauea’s past explosive eruptions occurred when magma erupted through groundwater."

#Earthquakes and #tsunamis in the news over the past few days are a reminder that, while tsunamis generated by large, distant earthquakes take hours to traverse the Pacific Ocean, it is important to remember that local earthquakes can also generate tsunamis—but with much less warning.

In this week’s Volcano Watch article, written by U.S. Geological Survey Hawaiian Volcano Observatory scientists and affiliates, we remember the destructive eruption of Mauna Loa, 75 years ago.

It’s always interesting learning about Mt Rainier.

There is much to appreciate about the ongoing #Kīlauea summit eruption as it approaches its 6-month anniversary on June 23. The stunning episodic lava fountains and lava flows erupted within Halema‘uma‘u crater in Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park.

Here's an in-depth look into the background science behind what's happening at Mt Spurr, and useful information for preparing for the event. The video is about 30 minutes long, but it's worth the time to watch it if you can.

Text contents: If ash is falling, call in. If your employer says you have to come in, demand protections. This could include masking, ventilation, and alternative work locations like working from home. A dust mask likely is not enough and a N-95 mask is a respirator that requires a fit test and medical evaluation. Do not allow your employer to require N-95 masks without being evaluated first. If you have concerns or questions call AKOSH Consultation and Training. We offer free confidential advice. (907) 269-4955. You cannot legally be required to work in dangerous conditions without protections. This ash is very bad to breathe in, and your employer must protect you if they require you to work. Period.

The image is a screenshot of a social media post by "USGS Volcanoes." The post is primarily text-based and focuses on an informational segment called "#VolcanoWatch." The background is dark grey, and the text is white. The top left corner features the "USGS Volcanoes" logo, which includes a stylized mountain and the organization’s name in green and white. Below the logo, the post begins with the hashtag #VolcanoWatch, followed by an explanation about what happens when magma intrudes into a rift zone of a Hawaiian volcano. The post details how magma affects the landscape even after volcanic activity ceases. It discusses the renown of Hawaiian volcanoes for rift zone eruptions and lists specific eruptions like those of Kilauea and Mauna Loa. The text also describes how magma moves as dikes and the effects of dike formation, such as surface displacement and deformation.
The image displays a block of text on a dark background, discussing the signs of recently active magma below the ground. Key points include the presence of thermal energy, vapor emissions due to rainwater circulation, and the slow cooling process of magma, which leads to ground deformation. It highlights how magma cooling causes subsidence, often detected via satellite radar images and techniques like interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR).
The image is a block of text over a dark background. The text discusses the patterns of subsidence seen in InSAR images following dike intrusions in Hawaiian volcanoes. It provides examples of subsidence occurring after dike intrusions between Maunaulu and Makaopuhi Crater in 2007, above the East Rift Zone of Kīlauea in 2018, and in the Northeast Rift Zone of Mauna Loa and Southwest Rift Zone of Kīlauea in 2022 and 2024, respectively. The text emphasizes the importance of vigilance in measuring volcanic activity and learning about magma characteristics after eruptions have ceased.
The image is a composite of four satellite-derived interferograms displayed in four panels labeled A, B, C, and D. Each panel shows a rainbow-colored pattern depicting ground deformation over time intervals near the Kīlauea volcano in Hawaii. The panels are arranged two by two, with a central grayscale map indicating the location of the areas of interest. Panel A, located in the upper left, covers data from June 6, 2024, to June 13, 2024. A series of concentric, multicolored fringes, predominantly in blue, yellow, and orange, highlight uplift and subsidence patterns. The white arrow and scale markers indicate orientation and distance (2 km and 0.2 m). Panel B, in the upper right, spans June 13, 2008, to July 12, 2010. Similar concentric patterns are visible, with a focus on areas of circular deformation. The USGS logo is displayed in the corner. Panel C, at the bottom left, covers May 11, 2023, to May 17, 2024. Larger, more widespread patterns of deformation are visible with distinct coloration and ring-like structures. Scale indicators and arrows are consistent across panels. Panel D, in the lower right, documents changes from October 17, 2022, to October 24, 2023. It displays more dispersed patterns of deformation with vibrant color transitions.

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
Earthquakes are a common occurrence in Hawaii. If you subscribe to emergency, earthquake, or volcano notifications, the shaking you feel might be followed by a message summarizing the earthquake.
