Hawaii Volcano

Current update of the eruption of Kilauea Volcano, Hawai`i `o Eruption Summary Hazards History Panorama Images Eruption Update and Image Archive | deformation | images | maps | Pu`u `O`o camera | 0555 January 14[Note: Your observer will be way south of the border, almost astraddle the equator, for the next two weeks. The next regularly scheduled morning update will be on Monday, January 30. Updates may occur at irregular intervals in the interim.]The Full Wolf Moon is the brightest object visible this morning, for lava on Pulama pali is confined to small patches and rivulets in the west string of breakouts. The breakouts reache from about the 1400-foot elevation down to about the 900-foot elevation, with small lava patches down to about 300 feet, as noted by yesterday's field workers. Glow comes from just above the top of the pali, probably at about the 1900-foot elevation, and testifies to surface lava there, too. Yesterday's observers noted some lava along the far east side of the PKK flow just outside the national park at about the 200-foot elevation 3.8 km from the end of the Kalapana access road.Moderate glow comes from East Lae`apuki this morning. Lava rose from cracks that cut the front half of the delta on Thursday and added perhaps as much as 80 m to the west side of the delta. The observers estimated that at least a third of the delta is new or resurfaced by lava. Lava enters the ocean at numerous spots along most of the front of the delta, so that the laze plume is spread almost continuously along the water's edge. The delta is now about 500 m long (parallel to shore) but still only 140 m wide. The crater of Pu`u `O`o is badly socked in this morning, but glimpses appear of all vents except Beehive. Conditions were similar yesterday, and the field observers were skunked. They did witness, however, a breakout from the PKK tube at the base of the flank shield. It was not active at 0900, was going strong at ~1030, and was over by 1130. The breakout came from a shatter ring immediately down-tube from the bend in the tube at the base of the flank shield. This shatter ring may be the source for all the breakouts from the upper tube that have occurred since mid-December. The shatter ring is 60 m x 75 m across, and its southwest side is a 3-4-m-high, nearly vertical rubble wall. This area was very noisy, with cracking and scraping and lots of rock falling off, both during and after the breakout. Background volcanic tremor is about normal at Kilauea's summit this morning. Volcanic tremor is at a moderate level at Pu`u `O`o.Inflation at Kilauea's summit continued for the past 24 hours and has now recovered the 5.2 microradians lost during the deflation of January 9-10. In contrast, Pu`u `O`o is having a rocky, slow deflation that started midday January 12 and by this writing has lost almost 1 microradian.

Note smooth, new surface on near part of delta, created when lava welled from cracks a couple of days ago. These cracks are shown in first image for January 6. Note also that most of delta front is source of laze; this is because lava pours into the water at many places. 0905. Right . Looking west at lava delta, showing how it nestles against cliff bounding embayment. Much of the cliff was created during collapse of earlier lava delta and adjacent "mainland" on November 28. As such, only part of the cliff is a true "sea cliff," formed by erosion. 0907. 6 January 2006 East Lae`apuki lava delta and Petunia skylight | med | large | | med | large | Left . Looking east across lava delta at East Lae`apuki. Note the cracks cutting the outer part of the delta. The cracks have formed in the last week or two as the delta has grown larger and become more unstable. Similar cracks cut the delta before its wholesale collapse on November 28, 2005. Steam (laze) rises at points where lava is entering the water. 0910. Right . Pretty Petunia skylight in roof of PKK lava tube, upper part of PKK flow. View looks downstream.

Current Deformation Map of selected deformation stations Electronic Tiltmeter Pu`u `O`o experienced bumpy tilt on January 7, 8, and early January 9; the bumps average out to flat tilt. Uwekahuna inflated slightly until noon January 7, deflated in the afternoon, inflated until early January 8, and then flattened and stayed flat for most of the day. It then started to inflated before midnight and continued up until 2141 January 9. Then Uwekahuna started a rapid, large deflation that finally ended at 2345 January 10 after a loss of 5.2 microradians. Pu`u `O`o inflated during January 8, following Uwekahuna, but it did not plummet when the summit started to deflate, instead maintaining flat to gently declining tilt throughout January 10 and into the 11th. Kilauea's summit began to inflate steeply at 2345 January 10, ending the deflation. The inflation continued through January 11-12-13 and into January 14 and had recovered all the tilt lost by the January 9-10 deflation by early January 14. Pu`u `O`o had pretty flat tilt until about noon January 11 and then began a slow inflation that continued until late morning January 12. The tilt that more or less stabilized before dropping a little that night and through January 13 into January 14, though the deflation was very irregular. This graph shows the radial tilt at Uwekahuna (UWE), on the northwest rim of Kilauea's caldera, and at Pu`u `O`o cone (POC), on the northwest flank of the active vent along the east rift zone, as recorded by continuously operating electronic tiltmeters. Positive changes indicate inflation of the magma storage areas beneath the caldera or Pu`u `O`o. Data are shown for a one-week period. A long-term trend of constant-rate, large deflation at Pu`u `O`o used to be removed for scale reasons, but starting on May 24, 2002, the tilt is shown as recorded, including the long-term deflation. The graph is refreshed at the same time as the eruption update at the top of this page, usually daily. The Y-axis is in microradians, an angular measure in parts per million; for example, one microradian represents the tilt of a 1-km-long bar, one end of which is lifted up or down 1 mm. Global Positioning System (GPS) Two years of data are shown in the plot. Between June 2003 and July 2004 the lengthening between the two stations was generally at a gradually increasing rate. The distance then became stable for nearly a month, but then extension resumed at a slightly slower rate than before the brief stable period. Extension picked up significantly in December 2004 and continued to lengthen rapidly until late February 2005. Then the line rather abruptly started to contract. The contraction ended in mid-March 2005, and the line remained steady until early May, when it began to lengthen once more. The lengthening continued until early July 2005, when the distance stabilized, coincident with a flattening of the tilt at Uwekahuna. Extension then resumed at a quickened rate in late July-early August 2005 and continued to late September. Then the rate of lengthening sharply reduced and perhaps even became zero for a time. Then, in November 2005, the line began to lengthen once more, only to stabilize once more at the end of the year. This graph shows the change in distance between two Global Positioning System (GPS) stations located on opposite ides of Kilauea's caldera. A rapid increase in distance can be interpreted as inflation of the summit magma reservoir. The graph is refreshed at the same time as the eruption update at the top of this page, usually daily. For more information on how electronic tiltmeters and GPS receivers help monitor the deformation of Kilauea and Mauna Loa volcanoes, see a summary of the inflation-deflation of magma chambers . Maps of lava-flow field, Kilauea Volcano Map of flows from Pu`u `O`o: 19 December 2005 Map shows lava flows erupted during 1983-present activity of Pu`u `O`o and Kupaianaha ( see large map ). Yellow, brown, and red colors indicate lava flows erupted from October 2003 to December 16, 2005. Yellow indicates the currently active Kuhio (PKK) flow, active most of the time from March 20, 2004 to the present. The east and west arms of the PKK flow, once widely separated, began to merge and overlap on the coastal flat in March 2005. The east arm feeds the East Lae`apuki ocean entry. Activity on the west arm declined through mid-August, and the last surface flow on that arm was observed on August 21. The recent (November-December 2005) breakouts on Pulama pali described as "eastern" and "western" are all on the east arm of the PKK flow. The brown shade denotes Martin Luther King (MLK ) flows, which first erupted in January 2004 from flank vents on the south slope of Pu`u `O`o. Since then, several more vents have formed in the MLK area and continue to erupt intermittently. Red indicates the Mother's Day and Banana flows, last active in September 2004. Short flows from the crater, West Gap, and Puka Nui vents are also shown in red. In recent months, only the Puka Nui vent has produced infrequent, small flows. Map of Pu`u `O`o and vicinity: 19 December 2005 Map shows vents, lava flows, and other features near Pu`u `O`o frequently referred to in updates ( see large map ). These features can change quickly, but this map should help those viewers lost in the terminology. The vents, lava tubes, and flows active in 2005 include the numbered vents in the crater, the MLK vent complex and associated flows, the Puka Nui vent, and the upper Kuhio (PKK) tube, which feeds the lava flows eventually reaching the ocean. Eruption-viewing opportunities change constantly, so refer to this page often. Those readers planning a visit to Kilauea or Mauna Loa volcanoes can get much useful information from Hawai`i Volcanoes National Park .

Lanai Island of Lanai

Lanai Island CRAMP is developing and applying standard scientific techniques that will enable us to compare the results of many different coral reef studies. This site will look much better in a browser that supports web standards , but it is accessible to any browser or Internet device. please scroll down to view the web page home overview results study sites bibliography search Manele-Hulopoe Shipwreck Home > Study Sites > Lanai Island of Lanai CRAMP is not monitoring any sites on Lanai at thepresent time. Two sites, however, have been monitored previously. Hulopoe-Manele has been monitored by Dr. Richard Brock and by the State of Hawaii, Division ofAquatic Resources (HDAR) for a number of years. A second site at ShipwreckBeach has been monitored by HDAR. These studies could form abasis for future work on Lanai. View a photo of Lanai and Molokai from space. Geographic Name: Lanai CRAMP site code: La Geographic Location: (20° 50'N, 157° 57'W) Lanai is located west of Maui and approximately 15 km south of Molokai. Physical Features (Physiography): Lanai is the sixth largest of the eightmain Hawaiian Islands with an area of 36,520 ha. Lanai Island is the emergentportion of a single volcano. The highest point is Lanaihale Peak at 1020 m (3370ft). Island slopes on the easterly side are steep and cutby gulches. Western slopes are gentler. The south central portion of the islandbetween elevations of 300 m and 600 m is a flat plain known as the PalawaiBasin, which was the major pineapple-growing region of the island untilrecently. Reef Structure, Habitat Classification: Reef development is best alongthe north and north-east coasts because these areas fall into the "waveshadow" of Molokai and Maui and are partially protected from the winternorth swell. Sandy beaches occur along the he north and northwest coastline.Coral reefs are less developed on the south and west sides of the island due toexposure to the summer south swell. Steep cliffs occur along the west and southcoasts. These are eroding volcanic coastlines due to extreme wave erosion andpresence of deep water offshore. Physical Oceanography: North shores partially protected by Molokai andMaui from winter storm surf. South shores receive full impact of summer southswell. Storm surf from Hurricane Iniki damaged reef communities along the southcoast in September 1992. Recovery of the damaged areas took nearly 5 years. Adjacent Land Tenure, Land Use: Most of the land on Lanai (98%) is ownedby the Castle and Cooke Inc., a privately held company headed by David Murdock.David Murdock has announced plans to build new roads, sidewalks and apartmenthouses on the island ("Massive Investment Planed for Lanai" by FrankCho, Honolulu Advertiser, Nov. 19, 2000, p. A1). Approximately one-fifth of the island was formerly undercultivation for pineapple, but economics led to abandonment of pineapple growingand a shift to development of resorts and diversified agriculture. Human Use Patterns: Commercial tours originating on Maui conduct snorkel,SCUBA and fishing excursions to Lanai. Increased resort development is leadingto more frequent use by visitors and residents on Lanai. Private boats fromvarious islands frequent Manele Harbor and visit various sites along the Lanaicoastline. Sustenance fishing and gathering of seaweed and opihi (limpets) is acommon activity by local residents. Economic Value and Social Benefits: The recent phasing out of pineappleand shift toward resort development places increased economic value on the reefsas resource for tourist development. Some of the best diving in Hawaiian watersis found off Lanai, which is a regular destination for many diving and fishingcharters coming from Maui. Large beds of the black corals Antipathesdichotoma and Antipathes grandis occur at depths of 40 m to 110 m offthe north coast. Status (Degree of Legal Protection): Open access for most of thecoastline. The submerged lands and overlying waters of Hulopoe Bay and ManeleBay are regulated as a Marine Life Conservation District. Manele Boat Harbor hasbeen designated as a Marine Fisheries Management Area. Management Concerns: The major focus is on human use, especially inthose areas with good reef development. Concern over exploitation of the richreef areas of Hulopoe and Manele Bays led to declaration of Hulopoe Bay andManele Bay as Marine Life Conservation Districts (MLCDs) in 1976. With thedemise of pineapple growing and the shift to resort and residential development, there isincreasing focus on effects of increasing human contact with the reefs andincreasing resort development.
