HVO volcanologist collecting pahoehoe samples, Kilauea, 1972. From 1912 until 1919, the observatory was run by Jaggar personally. Many important events were recorded, although as pioneers, the team often ran into major problems. For example, in 1913 an earthquake opened a crack in a wall and water seeped in.
The HVO is maintaining an orange alert — the third of their four-rung volcano alert system indicating a volcano is exhibiting ... Hawaii’s Kilauea Volcano shows more vigorous eruption activity.

Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii started erupting on Monday following a three-month pause, the U.S. Geological Survey's Hawaiian Volcano Observatory said. Kilauea began erupting around 2:30 a.m. local ...
Kīlauea (US: / ˌ k ɪ l ə ˈ w eɪ ə / ⓘ KIL-ə-WAY-ə, Hawaiian: [kiːlɐwˈwɛjə]) is an active shield volcano in the Hawaiian Islands.It is located along the southeastern shore of Hawaii Island.
HVO said it continues to closely monitor Kilauea for signs of increasing activity. Rates of seismicity and ground deformation beneath the East Rift Zone and Southwest Rift Zone remain low, HVO said.
The HVO had alluded to the presence of lava within the vent, including the sporadic ejecting of lava materials from the vent due to explosive episodes, but this gave officials the first opportunity to visually confirm that active lava was present. The report also noted that the lava could not be seen from observation points around the crater. [21]
Rates of seismicity and deformation at the summit increased further after 5 p.m., and HVO ended up raising the Kilauea volcano alert level for ground-based hazards from advisory to watch and the ...
