Volcano Watch: Appreciating contributions of ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi to volcanology

February is Mahina ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi, Hawaiian Language Month, and an opportunity to appreciate the value that the Native Hawaiian language has provided to volcanology, especially in Hawaiʻi nei. 

STUDY: Measuring Magma Viscosity Early Could Forecast Volcanic Eruptions

A team of researchers, including University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology Professor Bruce Houghton, identified an indicator of magma viscosity that can be measured before an eruption, providing critical information to help understand possible future eruptions.

Volcano Watch — Words Matter: Lava, Not Fire, but Island or Raft or Basalt Berg?

Words matter in volcanology just as in the rest of society. Words matter among volcanologists themselves, of course, but they particularly matter in our dealings with the public, when we attempt to both tell what is happening and educate about how volcanoes work. Accuracy of words promotes understanding and clarity of thought and is essential to both telling and educating.
