  • Geology professor Shawn Willsey discusses the recent data that prompted the USGS to raise Kilauea's alert level to "Watch." We look at the seismic and deformation data and provide a brief overview of the island's volcanoes.

    What we haven't seen in a while from Kilauea is tall fountaining eruptions (300+ meters) such as Kilauea Iki in '59, Kapoho in '60, Mauna Ulu in '69 and Pu'u O'o in '83.

    The historical eruptions map is really interesting, and kind of oddly beautiful. Like a graph of the pulse of a volcano region. If you’d like to offer updates on the Hawaii volcanoes, I will watch them with great interest! Just so you know: your videos are an inspiration to me while I am recovering from knee replacement surgery, completed last week. One of my goals is to be able to hike to the kinds of places in your videos! Your videos are providing added motivation while I go through all the painful but necessary rehab. So thank you for the inspiration!! 😊

This gives me more to watch and think about. I learned today that I did crack a tooth, so more geology helps keep my mind busy while I wait for a root canal to get done. Just what I don't want more health problems. I'm looking forward to your guest appearance next Sunday!

    Yes! Please monitor Kilauea. I was in Hawaii in 2018 (albeit on the opposite side of the island). The videos that emerged were absolutely amazing. In fact, I watched them every minute and every hour that I could. While that eruption was devastating to the citizens, it was captivating and enthralling in its entirety-everything from the rooster in Pahoa to the coqui frogs that croaked whilst gaseous explosions occurred, to the rift zone that unzipped before your very eyes!

    Thanks for the data rich, sensible update on current volcanic activity on Hawaii. This stirs memories of my first visit, for the July 11, 1991 total solar eclipse. Equally memorable is the helicopter flight the next morning out of Hilo. After flying up a few canyons to the north to view waterfalls, we headed south to follow the lava flows up towards Pu’u O’o. The cloud ceiling was low. Even our pilot got excited. For the first time in several days there was just enough ceiling to reach the vent which we hovered over, then followed the flow down to the ocean. I had two Nikons around my neck; another trove of 35mm slides waiting to be digitized.

    Thank you so much. I’ve been delighted to have found your channel (thanks, Iceland). It’s pretty cool to come home from a long day of work (I’m a therapist in Tucson) and know that every few days or so I’ll get a “class” in geology and volcanology. Your talks and visual aids are really helpful in getting a small grasp on this interesting subject, about which I’m surprised to find myself quite curious. I feel my 68-year-old brain perking up!
    I caught the opening of the vent nearest to Grindavik on a live stream. I saw the wisps of steam begin to rise from the ground, told myself, “No, it can’t be”, then saw the lava emerge and grow in quantity. I thought it was one of the coolest things I’d experienced in a long while. To later watch your video and see the event again, this time with a professional who appeared to find the experience to be as cool as I’d thought it was, was quite gratifying! You’re spiffy at being both scientist and teacher. I truly appreciate your time, effort, and willingness to share your knowledge and expertise with us!👏🌹
