USGS Fractured Rock Geophysical Toolbox Method Selection Tool
This video provides an overview of the USGS Fractured Rock Geophysical Toolbox Method Selection Tool. The Fractured Rock Geophysical Toolbox Method Selection Tool (FRGT-MST) is an Excel-based tool for identification of geophysical methods most likely to be appropriate for project goals and site conditions.

Time-lapse sequence of lava lake activity at Halema‘uma‘u
This video, at 50x speed to illustrate the motion of the lava lake surface, shows typical lava lake activity within Halema‘uma‘u Crater. Lava upwells in the northern portion of the lake (left side of image), with most of the lake surface flowing towards the south (right side).

Another rockfall triggers an explosive event in the summit lava lake
As you watch this VIDEO CLIP, note the rocky ledge (yellow arrow) at the bottom of the webcam image. At 6:58 a.m., HST, today, this large slab of the summit vent wall, located directly below HVO's HMcam, collapsed.

New Breach Allows Flow on the Great Salt Lake
The new Great Salt Lake breach was opened on Dec. 1 by the Union Pacific Railroad Company. This created a new opening between the north and the south arm of the lake, allowing water to flow between the two sides. This time-lapse video shows the breach opening, which took about two hours.

Rockfall triggers an explosive event in summit lava lake
VIDEO CLIP captured by HVO webcam: At 11:59 a.m., a rockfall from the south wall of Halema‘uma‘u Crater triggered a small explosive event in the summit lava lake. The explosion threw spatter (fragments of molten lava) onto the rim of the crater, mostly to the west of the former visitor overlook.

Small Explosive Event at Halema`uma`u Crater
This VIDEO CLIP shows a cloud of ash and spatter being thrown from the summit lava lake during today's explosive event. The images were captured by an HVO webcam located on the rim of Halema‘uma‘u Crater, just above the rockfall area.

Surprising Role of Trees in the Boreal Water Cycle
Approximately 25 to 50 percent of a living tree is made up of water, depending on the species and time of year. The water stored in trees has previously been considered just a minor part of the water cycle, but a study by University of Alaska Fairbanks scientists with support from the DOI Alaska Climate Science Center shows otherwise.

Lava Activity in Halema`uma`u Crater
This video shows activity in the summit lava lake in Halema‘uma‘u Crater. Spattering like this is common in the lake, and this video shows the view from the rim of Halema‘uma‘u (closed to the public due to volcanic hazards). This spattering has recently been visible from the Jaggar Overlook inside Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park (open to the public).
