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.
UH Hilo’s Center for the Study of Active Volcanoes works with the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory to bring active hazards outreach program to Hawai‘i keiki.
Lava samples collected September 11 were driven from the eruption to the UH Hilo geology lab, where undergraduate geology research assistants immediately started sample preparation and analysis.
U.S. Secretary of the Interior Haaland, U.S. Senator Schatz, USGS Director Applegate, UH Hilo Chancellor Irwin, UH System President Lassner, and student interns, celebrated at a ground blessing for a new USGS research facility on campus that will monitor volcanoes and support conservation science.
Geologists Steve Lundblad and Cheryl Gansecki will each give a free public presentation in January on tracking activity at Kīlauea caldera and Maunaloa, respectively.
