This web map service is updated as data is available to show ongoing developments of the 2018 lower East Rift Zone eruption of Kīlauea Volcano, Island of Hawai‘i. These data are preliminary and represent estimated locations for lava flow boundaries, eruptive fissures, and noneruptive ground cracks shown as polygons, lines, and points, respectively. Also included are historic Kīlauea lava flows from 1840, 1955, 1960, and 2014-2015 as purple shaded areas, and paths of steepest decent in blue. The web service can be found at https://www.sciencebase.gov/catalog/item/5afe0ba7e4b0da30c1bdb9db and https://gis.usgs.gov/sciencebase2/rest/services/Catalog/5afe0ba7e4b0da30c1bdb9db/MapServer.

Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. 1959 eruption of Kilauea Volcano, sixth phase of activity in Kilauea Iki Crater. Low, broad fountain and spatter-fed flows cascading down the flanks of the cone. Note the waves forming on the lake at the base of the fountain. View is from the north end of Byron Ledge. 1#1:30 p.m., December 7, 1959. Figure 23, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 537-E.

Kīlauea, on the Island of Hawai`i is one of the world’s most active volcanoes and it hosts one of the densest volcano monitoring networks. A deep well on the southwest rim of Kilauea’s caldera, often referred to informally as the “NSF Well” or the “Keller Well” was drilled in 1973 to a depth of 1,262 meters from an elevation of 1,103 meters. The ultimate goal of the drilling project was to “test predictions made from surface-based geophysical surveys and seek evidence of a hydrothermal system over a known magma body” (Zablocki et al., 1974; Keller et al., 1979). Following drilling the open hole filled up with drilling mud and in October 1998 the hole was cleared of the mud using a large pump to a depth of about...
This dataset contains Unoccupied Aircraft Systems (UAS) footage from the 2018 summit collapse of Kīlauea Volcano, Island of Hawai‘i. The intrusion of magma into Kīlauea’s lower East Rift Zone triggered draining of the summit lava lake and magma withdrawal from the shallow reservoir. This resulted in 62 subsequent collapse events at the summit between May and early-August 2018. Each collapse event released energy equivalent to a magnitude-5.3 earthquake. The total collapse volume was about 0.8 km^3, with subsidence of more than 500 m in some places. There are 73 UAS videos in this publication, recorded from May 19 to September 5, which have been separated into subpages by month. Sub-pages for each month also contain...

This release includes data collected during campaign GPS surveys at Kīlauea and Mauna Loa Volcanoes on the Island of Hawaiʻi in 2021. It includes data from a total of 63 sites occupied from January 1 to December 31, 2021. For each site, we include its measured raw data in daily files, Receiver INdependent EXchange (RINEX) files for each day, field log sheet(s), and associated metadata information. We also include a few days of data at the end of 2020 at 3 longer-term campaign sites at Kīlauea’s summit. These sites (109Y, NDDB, OVRL) were deployed in late December 2020 in response to the December 20, 2020, Kīlauea summit eruption. The authors thank USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory staff, volunteers, and collaborators...

This report documents the SO2 emission rates for the period 2014-2017, from the summit and East Rift Zone eruptions of Kīlauea, along with the wind or plume speed and direction data used to calculate the emission rates. The Kīlauea summit SO2 emission rates are reported every ten seconds, as measured by a novel configuration of 10 fixed, upward looking UV spectrometers (FLYSPEC array), and for days with at least 2 hours of data, the daily means are reported. The plume or wind speeds used to calculate the emission rates are measured by cross correlation of plume features (see William-Jones and others (2006)) or by ground-based anemometer (SDH) and are reported with the emission rates. When the SDH ground based wind...

Data collected by 11 borehole tiltmeters operated by the U.S. Geological Survey on Kīlauea Volcano, on the Island of Hawai'i. Data was collected between 30 April, 2018 and 5 August, 2018. Among the features captured by this data set are: the collapse of Puʻuʻōʻō on 30 April, 2018, the migration of magma down the East Rift Zone from 30 April to 3 May, 2018, the M6.9 earthquake on 4 May, 2018, and the deflation and collapse of the shallow magma chamber at Kīlauea from early May until 5 August, 2018. Data files for each station are zipped together into a single archive, which also includes a ReadMe.txt explanatory file. Zip archives are named with the three-letter station code that uniquely identifies the tiltmeter...

Kīlauea Volcano on the Island of Hawai‘i was in a state of nearly continuous eruption from 1983 – 2018. Large amounts of sulfur dioxide gas (SO2) were released from the volcano’s East Rift Zone (ERZ) during the entire eruptive period, and from the Overlook vent at the summit of the volcano from 2008-2018. This data release presents ground-based estimates of SO2 emission rates from the two gas emission sources for the period 2008-2013. For the two-year period 2008-2010, the summit data have been revised from previously published emission rates (Elias and Sutton, 2012). During this era, very high emissions from the volcano’s newly active lava lake led to opaque plumes and challenges in accurately quantifying SO2 column...
