Through the Additional Supplemental Appropriations for Disaster Relief Act of 2019 (H.R. 2157), the USGS received Supplemental funding to support recovery and rebuilding activities in the wake of the 2018 Kīlauea volcano eruption. Supplemental funding will enable the USGS to conduct scientific investigations of the current state of Kīlauea to properly interpret the data from the monitoring networks and characterize the ongoing and future threats and hazards to Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park and surrounding communities.
Project Activity Name: Characterizing Ash Deposits to Determine the Volcanic Source and Elucidate the Recurrence Interval of Explosive Eruptions of Mauna Loa and Kīlauea
Activity Description/Goal: Study ash deposits on Mauna Loa in order to characterize the ash geochemically, temporally, and stratigraphically.
