The funding will support the purchase of new, cutting edge technology to expedite rapid, cost-effective analysis of volcanic eruptions, extremely important in rapid response measures for public safety.
Notable in the video featuring Kamalani Poepoe’s scientific knowledge about volcanic rocks is the discussion of Native Hawaiian ways of exploring science.
At Harvard, Waiākea High grad Thomas Lee found his niche in seismology and became involved in research work that examined ways to extract new information out of old seismic records.
UH Hilo is an ideal place for students to experience hands-on, community- and ʻāina-engaged learning through internships.
Undergraduate Kamalani Poepoe’s summer experience will include work in UH Hilo’s geochemistry lab, learning basic computer programming skills, and aiding in eruption response at Kīlauea’s summit.
Prof. Lundblad, who researches active lava flows on Hawaiʻi Island, sees “a sawtooth pattern”: the ground tilt increases over the course of a week or so, an eruption happens, it drops, and then immediately starts to rebuild again.
A dedicated group of scientists and their students has established over 40 species of native marine macroalgae in a culture collection named Limu Ark located at UH Hilo’s Pacific Aquaculture and Coastal Resources Center.
On Kamalani Poepoe’s first day at HVO, June 3, 2024, Kīlauea erupted briefly from the Southwest Rift Zone. Kamalani jumped enthusiastically into eruption response work with the rest of HVO staff.
