“We demonstrate that in the past, the eruption of large volcanic eruptions situated near the equator caused a collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation that led to abrupt climate change on a time frame of thousands of years,” said Dr. Vettoretti.

Peak fountain heights were at 1,300 ft. for the south vent and 1,000 ft. for the north vent, with the plume reaching 35,000 ft. Approximately 15 million cubic yards of lava covered about 50% of the Halema’uma’u crater floor.

Volunteers agreed to help remove tephra from the roofs, gutters, and water catchment systems of more than 60 homes, which is the number Civil Defense identified as needing immediate assistance. However, Team Rubicon was only able to clear 23 homes in the Volcano area.

ONE of the world’s most dangerous volcanoes is showing unsettling new signs of activity. Scientists from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) are watching closely for

Kilauea, the restless shield volcano on Hawaii’s Big Island, has been erupting in dramatic, repeating bursts since late 2024, with lava fountains and volcanic gas-and-ash plumes rising high above the summit caldera.

Visual observations have been a backbone of volcano research more than 2,000 years and remain fundamental to understanding how volcanoes work. Technological advancements — such as livestreaming cameras — even now allow eruptions to be viewed from around the world.

Episode 42 ended after 9 hours and 48 minutes with both the north and south vents active for most of the eruption. The highest peak or instantaneous effusion rate of 1000 cubic yards per second occurred around 3 p.m. on Feb. 15. An estimated 15 million cubic yards of lava erupted and covered about 50% of Halemaʻumaʻu crater floor.
