After Dark in the Park (Volcano Awareness Month) - Kīlauea's Crater Filling Summit Eruptions

Volcano Awareness Month: Kīlauea: Crater Filling Summit Eruptions

Following the dramatic collapses in 2018, the summit of Kīlauea has been in a multi-year phase of crater filling. Five separate eruptions—ranging in duration from about a week to over a year—have filled Halema‘uma‘u crater with lava flows and lava lakes. These eruptions have been accompanied by ever changing geophysical signals recorded by the dense monitoring network. Join USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory geologist Matt Patrick as he summarizes the recent activity at Kīlauea summit and highlights its patterns of behavior and Hawaiian Volcano Observatory monitoring techniques.

Part of Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park's ongoing After Dark in the Park series of programs and USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory's Volcano Awareness Month. Program co-sponsored by Friends of Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park. Concert is free but park entrance fees apply.
