Geological evidence shows that, since the year 1200, new eruptions have occurred mostly from vents/fissures along rift zones. Prior to that, lava erupted mostly from the summit before sometimes overflowing the summit crater.

FWIW: official USGS volcano information will always come from accounts that have the handles @USGSVolcanoes, @alaska_avo, & @USGS and are linked from our web pages. Visit usgs.gov/programs/VHP/connec… for info.

Volcano Hazards - Social Media

Find us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram @USGSVolcanoes. Scientists from all volcano observatories post and answer questions on the platform, so this is a great way for you to communicate with us!...

This short video shows thermal camera footage of the onset of the #MaunaLoa eruption from the volcano's summit. The temperature in degrees C is shown by the colored scale bar on the right. For additional information visit: usgs.gov/volcanoes/mauna-loa… #MaunaLoaErupts

#MaunaLoa is erupting from vents on the Northeast Rift zone. Flows are moving downslope to the north. USGS Photos from Civil Air Patrol fight. #MaunaLoaErupts @Volcanoes_NPS @Hawaii_EMA @CivilDefenseHI

Interested in helping the IAVCEI Commission on Monogenetic Volcanism? We are seeking officer nomination! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F… Here is a pic of a cone from the Springerville VF, AZ from the Distributed Volcanism Chapman Conference in September 2022.

You can check out the seminar series the Commission has led over the last two years here. cmv.iavceivolcano.org/ We also plan on gathering CMV members at upcoming conferences in New Zealand and Mexico

IAVCEI Commission on Monogenetic Volcanism

The Commission on Monogenetic Volcanism (CMV) aims to provide a forum to define and understand the phenomena of small volume magmatic systems and their sufrace expression as volcano fields.

A recent plastic-tephra-garbage deposit near the north beach at Anak Krakatau. Pieces of plastic are molten as the hot ash was deposited. Probably need to invent a new rock name for this - any suggestions folks?

Sometime science requires you to practice using grabby arms. Ugrad researcher @UGresearchUMKC Mya Thomas is working on a plan to put and measure ground control points for 3d visualizations in/on difficult to reach targets.

What I find amazing about this is that these oceanic volcanoes have been building up huge mountains under the water for an incredibly long time, and we get to witness the moment they reach the surface. This can also happen multiple times as the ocean erodes away a young island.

Volcanoes are the demonstration that #Earth is a #LivingPlanet #Copernicus #Sentinel2 🇪🇺🛰️ captured, between July and October 2022, the formation of a new island in the Pacific Ocean caused by the 🌋eruption of the Home Reef volcano

My fashion leads to frequent comparisons to Ms. Frizzle so I embraced the comparison for Halloween with some help from @Ivanaa_26 and @BrookieBeanZ

Gotta love having high school visitors for their epic response!
This might not match your expectations but this drawer is for science!
