Timelapse: 45 minutes of activity at Kīlauea's summit water lake
Timelapse: 45 minutes of activity at Kīlauea's summit water lakeThis timelapse video shows approximately 45 minutes of activity in the water lake at the summit of Kīlauea volcano. The video shows that the color zones are highly dynamic, shifting from minute to minute. This behavior has been common in the lake during much of the past year. Note that the camera exposure changes several times, shifting the color slightly at times.

Doppler radar in Ka‘ū: more than a weather radar
Radar image of the May 17, 2018 eruption of ash from Halema‘uma‘u Crater. This image is a slice through the cloud at an altitude of 14,000 ft (4 km) above sea level at 4:12 a.m., HST. The colors scale is radar reflectivity, a measure of the size of the particles and their concentration within the ash cloud.

Image of the Week: Bird Island Ablaze
In Montana, wildfire swept across Flathead Lake's 30 acre Bird Island in early August of 2020. Landsat 8 captured this imagery one day after the fire began. The satellite's short wave infrared and near infrared bands reveal the active fire covering approximately half of the island. Smoke obscures the remainder.

Deformation that results from pressurization of a "Mogi" source modelCross section through the Earth showing the ground surface with an embedded pressure source (red circle)—the so-called “Mogi model”—beneath the ground. When this pressure source expands, the ground surface inflates like a balloon (the opposite occurs when the pressure in the source decreases). Dashed black line shows, in an exaggerated way, how the shape
