This past week, earthquakes and inflation near Kilauea’s summit prompted temporary closures within Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park. What is happening beneath the surface at Kilauea and what does it mean for potential future eruptive activity?

Earth’s magnetic field surrounds us every second of the day, everywhere on the planet. Anyone who has picked up a pocket compass and seen the magnetic needle quickly align itself has seen the action of this ever-present invisible field. But can we harness the magnetic field to forecast volcanic activity? Emerging technology in the field of “quantum” science may aid us in doing so.

Volcano Watch: Staff at HVO study volcanic processes and associated hazards in Hawaiʻi, with the emphasis and end goal of protecting life and property. The backbone of the observatory is the monitoring network, consisting of a diverse array of instruments located on the flanks of the volcanoes. These instruments relay data back to the observatory, providing information on the behavior of Hawaiʻi’s active volcanoes.

STEM is an acronym that stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. In the educational system, encouraging STEM curriculum prepares students for future careers in STEM fields. In this “Volcano Watch” article, we’ll describe how aspects of STEM are applied at the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, using a specific example of field engineering work.

The 2022 eruption of Maunaloa occurred late in the evening of Nov. 27. The eruption was preceded by intense earthquake activity about half an hour prior to glowing lava seen on USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory webcams. How does HVO narrow down the precise time that the eruption started? 

A collaboration between the UNGE, the USAID-USGS VDAP, and US scientists through the Fulbright Specialist Program has culminated in the first volcano-monitoring program in Equatorial Guinea
