HVO scientists deployed temporary seismic stations at Kīlauea's summit

Detailed Description

HVO scientists deployed temporary seismic stations around Kīlauea's summit today. The additional data being collected will help provide insights into the magma storage and migration during the ongoing summit eruption. This could help to clarify the extent of the changes which occurred to Kīlauea volcano’s magmatic plumbing system in 2018. USGS photo taken by J. Chang.
