Kīlauea volcano lava fountain buries camera

Volcanoes in Alaska, Washington state, Oregon and Hawaii have been rumbling and even spewing lava, enough to spark a swarm of news stories. But despite the jolts and temblors, geologists say there's no cause for alarm. "Volcanoes can be unpredictable, and ...
Hawaii's Kīlauea volcano erupted again on Friday, with lava fountains reaching 370 meters. The USGS camera capturing the event was buried in debris. T
An active underwater volcano 300 miles off the Oregon Coast that was predicted to erupt in 2025 is now expected to erupt mid-to-late 2026.
The eruption lasted for just over 12 hours. Kīlauea spewed more than 3 billion gallons (16 million cubic yards) of lava during this event—enough to fill 25,000 Olympic swimming pools. The eruptive plume rose more than 20,000 feet (6,000 m) above sea level.
Tephra formed by lava fountains during the ongoing Kīlauea summit eruption has created a new puʻu, or hill, southwest of Halemaʻumaʻu Crater and visible from the public viewing areas around Kīlauea summit in Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park.

10,834 quakes shake America’s deadliest volcano with 200,000 at risk
Mount Rainier has rattled through thousands of tiny earthquakes this year, a reminder that America’s most lethal volcano is very much alive beneath its ice. Those quakes, and a burst of viral alarmism,
This week the U.S. Geological Survey Cascades Volcano Observatory, in cooperation with the U.S. Forest Service and Mount Hood National Forest, installed three new volcano monitoring stations on the flanks of Mount Hood. These stations will substantially ...
Over the past century, technological advancements have vastly improved volcano monitoring. One key innovation was the introduction of modern borehole tiltmeters, devices that measure very small changes in the inclination of the volcano’s surface.
Contrary to popular belief, it’s not the big-name volcanoes like Yellowstone and Mount Etna in Sicily that pose the greatest threat. A UK volcanologist argued that the biggest danger could come from hidden volcanoes that appear dormant and are barely monitored.
Scientists know that changing tree leaves can indicate when a nearby volcano is becoming more active and might erupt. In a new collaboration between NASA and the Smithsonian Institution, scientists now believe they can detect ... Glaciers could become a ...
In a recent “Volcano Watch” article, we learned about a remote sensing technique known as InSAR. This method of using satellite radar signals to detect changes to the surface of the Earth has been very beneficial for the monitoring of active volcanoes ...
