What continues to impress me about this job is how one job can offer so much variety.

Technicians at HVO engineer and maintain the network of stations that monitor the active volcanoes in the state of Hawai‘i.

Tina Neal's Tenure as Scientist-in-Charge of the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory comes to an end this week when she returns to the Alaska Volcano Observatory after fulfilling her five-year commitment to HVO.

Early in April 1952, a series of earthquakes began along Kīlauea’s East Rift Zone and beneath the summit.

The main Mauna Iki lava shield was built by the accumulation of numerous pāhoehoe overflows from a small lava pond at the top of the shield.

Volcanists assess Kīlauea's extreme sulfur dioxide emissions during the 2018 eruption.

Kīlauea has had a long and active history, and each eruption provides us new insights into volcanic processes and hazards.

It takes a village to run a volcano observatory.

This belated Volcano Watch should have been written in January when David and his wife Francine Coloma, who is a scientist with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), moved to Hilo.

"Because HVO has over 100 years of volcano monitoring experience, scientists from volcano observatories around the world are eager to visit and learn from HVO and our active volcanoes."
