A volcanic eruption on Hawaii's Big Islandintensified over the weekend, with some people potentially stranded in their homes. The eruption of Kilauea Volcano on Hawaii's Big Island has spewed vast amounts of lava for more than three days and nights. Hundreds of earthquakes have also rocked the...
The ongoing eruption of the Kilauea volcano on the big island of Hawaii has led to tens of thousands of evacuations and the destruction of tens of homes. And the eruption has grown to such a scale that it can now be easily seen from the International Space Station. NASA astronaut A.J. ...
The Hawaiian Islands only exists because of volcanoes. These volcanoes were created from "hot spots" of underground magma, which are mostly but not always underwater. The molten rock erupts on the sea floor, cools and forms a volcano. With each eruption, the volcano grows until it is big ...
After weeks of unleashing earthquakes and lava flows that have forced thousands of people to evacuate their homes, Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano has finally blown its top. Because Kilauea is one of the best-monitored volcanoes in the world, scientists hope that data on the event will help them to...
The volcano, however,shows no sign of quieting down. Geologists say the current cycle of eruption is among the worst events in a century from one of the world's most active volcanoes. A series of Kilauea eruptions in 1955 lasted 88 days. ...
Police have surrounded the community where the eruption is occurring. Not just because of the lava, but also thedeadly fumes. The spewing lava and toxic gasses are showing no signs of slowing down. A powerful 6.9 earthquake struck the Big Island on Friday, the la...

Data from a network of seismometers, a tiltmeter and the pattern of summit inflation between eruptions have made qualitative eruption forecasting possible on Kilauea volcano for over 20 years. This paper formulates quantitative forecasting by calculating the probability of an eruption based on current...
