July 7: Hawaiian Volcano Observatory Community Meeting on Helicopter Survey Over Unpopulated Parts of Kīlauea

The USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory is hosting a community meeting at the Pahoa Community Center on July 7 from 6-7:30 PM about an upcoming helicopter survey over unpopulated part of Kīlauea volcano. During the meeting, USGS scientists will describe the survey and geophysical techniques being used, as well as the data being collected. The survey will take place from July 5-25, 2022, and the data collected will be used to image shallow (upper 2,000 ft) magmatic structure, fault systems, and groundwater pathways over Kīlauea volcano. This project is funded by the Additional Supplemental Appropriations for Disaster Relief Act of 2019 (H.R. 2157), which supports investigations into the current state of Kīlauea volcano following the 2018 lower East Rift Zone eruption and summit collapse.
