Land, lava, and disaster create a social dilemma after the 2018 eruption of Kīlauea volcano [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2021 The unprecedented cost of the 2018 eruption in Hawai’i reflects an intersection of disparate physical and social phenomena: widely spaced, highly destructive eruptions, and atypically high population growth.

Microstructural constraints on magmatic mushes under Kīlauea Volcano, Hawaiʻi [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2020 Olivine crystals with prominent intracrystalline distortions have previously been used to quantify deformational processes within the mantle. Here, the authors show that similar techniques can be applied to deformed volcanic olivine crystals, providing ...

Elastic interaction between Mauna Loa and Kīlauea evidenced by independent component analysis [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 The contrasting dynamics between Mauna Loa and Kīlauea have been studied over the last 100 years from multiple viewpoints. The fact that dynamic changes of one volcano trigger a dynamic response of the other volcano indicates a connection may exist ...

The cascading origin of the 2018 Kīlauea eruption and implications for future forecasting [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2020 The 2018 summit and flank eruption of Kīlauea Volcano was one of the largest volcanic events in Hawaiʻi in 200 years. Data suggest that a backup in the magma plumbing system at the long-lived Puʻu ʻŌʻō eruption site caused widespread pressurization in ...

Hawaiian Volcanic Ash, an Airborne Fomite for Nontuberculous Mycobacteria [PDF]
GeoHealthNontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are environmentally acquired opportunistic pathogens that can cause chronic lung disease. Within the U.S., Hawai'i shows the highest prevalence rates of NTM lung infections.

Detecting the Source Location of Recent Summit Inflation via Three-Dimensional InSAR Observation of Kīlauea Volcano [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2015 Starting on 21 April 2015, unusual activity on the summit of Kīlauea was detected. Rapid summit inflation and a rising lava lake in Halema‘uma‘u crater were interpreted as early signs of imminent magma intrusion.

Crystal scavenging from mush piles recorded by melt inclusions [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2019 The increasingly prevalent view of magmatic systems as mush-dominated challenges the common assumption that melt inclusions record the pre-eruptive storage and processing of the melts they were erupted with.

Automatic speech recognition predicts contemporaneous earthquake fault displacement [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsSignificant progress has been made in probing the state of an earthquake fault by applying machine learning to continuous seismic waveforms. The breakthroughs were originally obtained from laboratory shear experiments and numerical simulations of fault ...

Natural Time Analysis and Nowcasting of Quasi‐Periodic Collapse Events During the 2018 Kīlauea Volcano Eruptive Sequence [PDF]
Earth and Space Science, 2022 The period of heightened volcanic and seismic activity at Kīlauea volcano on the island of Hawai’i, USA from late spring through summer 2018 included a remarkable quasi‐periodic sequence of caldera collapse events.
