M3.6 earthquake consistent with slip along Kīlauea volcano’s south flank
A magnitude-3.6 earthquake occurred 9 miles south of the village of Volcano on the Island of Hawaiʻi at 8:29 a.m. on Wednesday, June 24, 2026. The quake occurred at a depth of 5 miles below sea level, according to the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory.
Volcano Watch: How to interpret an Interferogram
Interferograms are images created by radar satellites that show how the ground has changed shape, or deformed, over time. Today, scientists dive into one of the trickiest parts of interpreting interferograms: the perspective of satellites.
No tsunami expected after 4.1 earthquake on south flank of Kīlauea Volcano
There is no tsunami expected following a 4.1(4.4 preliminary) magnitude earthquake reported at 8:48 p.m. on Saturday, July 6, 2024 on the south flank of the Kīlauea Volcano. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center reports there is no tsunami expected, however some areas may have experienced shaking.
4.2 earthquake had no apparent impact on either Muana Loa or Kīlauea volcanoes
A 4.2 magnitude earthquake reported at around 2:24 p.m. on Saturday, April 22, had no apparent impact on either Mauna Loa or Kīlauea volcanoes, according to the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory.
4.0 earthquake on Hawaiʻi Island had no apparent impact on Mauna Loa or Kīlauea
A 4.0 magnitude earthquake, reported at 3:31 a.m. HST on Tuesday, Jan. 3, 2023, had no apparent impact on Mauna Loa or Kīlauea, according to the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory.
Volcano Watch: Earthquakes, Beyond the counts
Often, the earliest signs of volcanic unrest, before lava is seen, are provided by earthquake activity occurring deeper within the Earth than where other volcano monitoring capabilities can reach.
No tsunami threat after two “moderate” Mauna Loa earthquakes, 4.6 and 5.0 M
“The two earthquakes occurred within 24 seconds of each other creating shaking of longer duration and possibly greater intensity than either of the earthquakes would have created on their own,” according to an HVO information statement.
No tsunami threat to Hawaiʻi after 4.3 preliminary magnitude Kīlauea earthquake
There is no tsunami threat to Hawaiʻi after a 4.3 (preliminary 4.1) magnitude earthquake located in the southwest rift zone of the Kīlauea Volcano on Hawaiʻi Island. The quake occurred at around 2:13 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 3, 2022.
4.2 Earthquake at Kīlauea Consistent with Slip Along Steep Faults
Kīlauea’s south flank has been the site of 40 earthquakes of magnitude-4.0 or greater during the past 20 years. Most are caused by abrupt motion of the volcano’s south flank, which moves to the southeast over the oceanic crust. The location, depth, and waveforms recorded as part of today’s earthquake are consistent with slip along the steep faults of the pali.
Two 4+ Magnitude Earthquake at Kīlauea This Week Are Likely Aftershocks from May 2018 Quake
Two 4+ magnitude earthquakes at Kīlauea this week are confident with a slip along the south flank fault and were likely aftershocks of a large 6.9 earthquake in May of 2018. Kīlauea’s south flank has been the site of 20 earthquakes of magnitude-4.0 or greater during the past 20 years.
53 Hour Gap in Summit Collapse Activity: What Does it Mean?
This marks 53 hours since the last collapse event occurred on Tuesday, July 24, 2018 at 6:41 a.m. It is the longest gap in intervals in collapse activity since
“Pattern” of Summit Activity Resulting in Near Daily Explosions
The US Geological Survey’s Hawaiian Volcano Observatory is reporting a “pattern” of activity at the summit of the Kīlauea Volcano that is resulting in explosion events that are occurring about once a day.
