Kilauea Volcano Update for Monday, July 8

(BIVN) – Kilauea Volcano has not erupted, and the USGS volcanic alert level remains at Advisory.

Over the weekend, there was an increase in the number of earthquakes measured in the Upper East Fault Zone. However, as of Monday, the number of earthquakes has decreased slightly. Earthquakes are still above background levels.

“Long-term gradual inflation of the summit and upper rift area has been ongoing since the end of the June 3, 2024 eruption,” the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory wrote Monday morning. “Any significant increases in seismicity and/or deformation could lead to a new eruptive episode, but there are no signs of an imminent eruption at this time.”

From the USGS HVO update dated July 8:

Summit and Upper Fault Zone Notes: Over the past 24 hours, approximately 20 earthquakes were observed beneath Kīlauʻīpel (Kīlauʻīa caldera) and 50 earthquakes were observed beneath the Upper East Fault Zone, most at depths between 1-3 km (0.6-1.8 mi) below the surface. The number of Upper East Fault Zone events decreased compared to yesterday (which saw 95 events) but remains high above the background for this area. Tilt gauges at the Kilauea summit area show a slight decrease in inflationary ground deformation rates over the past day: the SDH instrument southwest of the summit recorded approximately 2 microradians of inflationary tilt and the UWE instrument northwest of the summit shows a qualitatively slight inflationary tilt (less than 1 microradian, see Watch Notice below). GPS instruments around the summit area continue to show a long-term gradual increase since the end of the eruption on June 3, 2024. The most recent measurement of sulfur dioxide emissions at the summit was about 75 tons per day on June 28, 2024.

Middle and Lower Rift Zone Notes: Earthquake and ground deformation rates beneath the Middle and Lower East Rift Zone and Lower Southwest Rift Zone remain low. Recent volcanic activity and ongoing unrest have been limited to the summit and upper rift zones. Measurements from continuous gas monitoring stations downwind of Puʻuʻōʻō in the Middle East Rift Zone—the site of volcanic activity from 1983 to 2018—remain below detection limits for sulfur dioxide, indicating that sulfur dioxide emissions from Puʻuʻōʻō are negligible.

Analysis: Following the eruption on June 3, 2024, magma re-pressurized the storage system beneath Halema'uma'u and the South Caldera, triggering seismic activity in the South Halema'uma'u Caldera and the Upper East Rift Zone. At this time, it is not possible to say whether this activity will lead to an intrusion or eruption in the near future, or whether it will simply continue as seismic disturbances at depth. Changes in the nature and location of disturbances can occur rapidly, as can the potential for eruption, but there are no signs of an imminent eruption at this time.
