September 6, 2022 — Kīlauea Southwest Rift Zone Seismic Nodes Being Collected

Scientists take notes about the seismic station being collected from the field, where it has been collecting data for the past two months. These temporary seismic node stations were tightly grouped over Kīlauea's Southwest Rift Zone and Pāhala area in order to more densely record earthquake signals across the region.
