January 16, 2025 — Kīlauea eruption monitoring shift
Detailed Description
During the reactivation of the Kīlauea summit eruption, USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory scientists setup high resolution cameras to record eruption dynamics. While on field shifts, scientists measure fountain and cone heights, take thermal and observational images, and collect samples for monitoring purposes. During the field shift on January 16, 2025, staff were able to collect time-stamped airfall samples falling out of the plume. This photo is looking NE toward Volcano House from the west caldera rim.
