I plan to visit Kilauea in about 2 weeks. I Hope the road is open regardless of eruption or not. Earthquakes can change our plans in a hurry. Would be nice to see an eruption as long as it’s nowhere near any homes.

It's a special double-update day! Thanks for updating us on the Hawaii situation too!! Question - I am not clear on the difference between the measurements made by the tiltmeter vs the uplift portion of the GPS... could you address in a future video at some point?
@timpointing
Ай бұрын
GPS gives you 3D information on the movement of a particular point. If one point moves up relative to another point, the ground surface between the points will become ever so slightly tilted. The tiltmeters are able to measure this extremely small change.

Agree with another commenter. The 3D view is wonderful. Great work in finding and using the available tools. For those wondering about the tiltmeter measurements - the units are "microrads" or "microradians". These are *very* small angles - over 17,000 microradians in a single degree. As the USGS site puts it: "If you put a tiltmeter on a rigid plank that is one mile long, and then put a quarter under one end of the plank, the measured change would be about one microradian of tilt" (or 1mm in a 1km long plank). Furthermore, the HVO tiltmeters can resolve tilts 200 times smaller - 5 nanoradians! That would, indeed, be the most sensitive carpenter's level ever! [Sorry. Too much information! My bad! This is why we leave the science/education communication to people like Shawn!]

Thanks for the quick reassurance it's not moving fown past (or even as far as) Pu'u O'o so far. 2018 was one of those eruptions where you feel guilty watching (and listening, when fissure 16 was first clearing its throat) and enjoying the spectacle bc you know it's causing so much heartbreak and hardship for displaced residents.

I noticed for the first time on Google Earth that the Lower East Rift Zone extends 50 MILES off-shore from the SE coast of the Big island, building a ridge that rises thousands of feet from the deep ocean floor. A similar linear feature extends 80 miles to the east of the island of Maui. This is assuming that the bathymetric mapping bears some relation to the actual land form. The tilt meters measure in micro-radians, or millionths of a radian, an extremely sensitive measurement that can be affected by a heavy rain shower. 10 micro-radians looks like a lot on the graph, but it is like a millimeter in one kilometer or something like that.

1 mm in 1 km would be 1 microradian.

I am very interested in the rift zone, not the volcanic activity so much as the possibility of the rift wideing and separating from the main part of the volcano. I wonder about the possibility of a landfall of the rift zone into the Pacific. As more land is created , ON TOP, is there less support of that land below the waterline, to the point of failure. What is the angle of the slope below the waterline. All that said, I do enjoy the doc on the volcanic activity and its effects on the island. Keep up the good work!

So what you're saying here is? The Islands are drifting towards the rift. And that means that they're going deeper in the ocean, right? So that means that the sea level is rising around them because they're going deeper. In the ocean, no, I've been trying to get this Uber to people for quite a while none of the Islands Uber there are getting more water from the ice mountain or anything they're going deeper into the ocean.

Kilauea and the Svartsengi magma chambers are competing for attention! Which will erupt lava first? Since these new quakes in the Middle East Rift Zone are still deep, I assume that it would take some time for the magma to break up to the surface.

Kilauea calderon is about 1100m altitude. Base of Puʻu ʻŌʻō is about 700m. Fissure 8 at Leilani is about 225m Ocean is about 0m. My understandsing is that there is some reservoir about 0m elevation below Klauea. My understanding is that therte is a straight up pipe from the reservoir to Halama'uma'u and somewhere along that pipe there is a junction to the pipe that goes to the East rift zone. QUESTION: do we now roughly at what elevation magma that has gone up from reservoir can turn right and enter the east rift zone pipe as opposed to continuing up to get to Halema'uma'u? During the 2018 eruption, the bottom of Halema'uma'u dropped about 600m down since all the laval that was there disappeared. Would it be fair to state that the pipe junction would be at most at 700m altitude? (1100 - 600). Or is the location of the junction between the pipe to Halema'uma'u and the pipe to East Rift Zone a great unknown?

Thousands of homes up at the upper east rift zone .. The lower east rift zone people aren’t the only ones to worry about the east rift zone magma intrusion …Next will come large earthquakes like in 2018 plus where the magma breaks out to the surface is a mystery … And everyone living below are in danger ⚠️ of fingers of lava heading to the ocean 🌊 with gravity .
