Fissure 3 Mauna Loa - November 30, 2022
This image, taken during an early morning overflight on 30 November 2022, shows Fissure 3, the dominant source of activity. As of 7 a.m. HST, the lava fountains are 20-25 meters in height (65-82 feet) and feed a lava flow moving to the northeast at ~130 meters per hour (0.08 miles per hour).

Aerial view of Mauna Loa summit with Lua Hou in the foreground followed by Lua Hohonu, South Pit, and Mokuʻāweoweo summit caldera. A small dusting of snow covers the ground east of the summit. The steaming fissure was active during the beginning of the eruption, but this morning the lava in the summit caldera had already cooled to a black color.

An animation showing tectonic faults across the Eastern Pacific Ocean from space, including the Queen Charlotte-Fairweather faultAn animation showing tectonic faults across the Eastern Pacific Ocean from space. The San Andreas fault in California is shown in green, and the Cascadia Subduction Zone north of it is shown in yellow. The animation ends at the location of Queen Charlotte-Fairweather fault (in yellow), displaying the latest 30-meter terrain model.

Animation showing how human-in-the-loop machine learning can quickly segment satellite imageryDoodler uses a concept called human-in-the-loop machine learning to interactively segment an image. Doodler uses "doodles", or a few marks of examples of each class present in the scene, and machine learning completes the scene.

Polar Bear Taxidermy
GSN field engineers from the Albuquerque Seismic Lab visited the northernmost town in the world Longyearbyen (Svalbard, Norway) on their way north to GSN station IU-KBS for a station upgrade. GSN station IU-KBS is located in Svalbard, a Norwegian archipelago. This taxidermied polar bear was just inside the doors to the chow hall.
