April 28, 2023 — Kīlauea Seismic Imaging Project Progress

A pallet of buckets containing equipment for the Kīlauea Seismic Imaging Project is placed on netting so that it can be moved via helicopter sling load. These pallets package a small portion of the 1,800 seismic nodes (small earthquake-detecting devices) that are being deployed in Kīlauea summit region as part of the project.
