Field Work
Because I am familiar with many field locations on the Big Island, I often accompany University of Hawaiʻi groups as a guide. For example, in the summer of 2008, I helped scientists deploy a seismograph near the Waikupanaha ocean entry. A portion of the seismogram is seen below. Note the periodic nature of the explosions.
