Description
How are Volcanoes in Hawaiʻi Monitored?
The USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) maintains a network of more than 200 devices across the Island of Hawaiʻi, which track activity above and below the surface of our volcanoes. Two of the most important monitoring datasets that help us understand where magma is accumulating or moving are seismicity (earthquakes) and geodesy (ground deformation). Come talk with HVO seismic network manager Jefferson Chang and geodesy network manager Andi Ellis as they host a table at Uēkahuna parking lot to showcase examples of monitoring devices and datasets.
