USGS Scientist Shares Kilauea Eruption Update (Jun. 11, 2018)

[@monamorgan9452]

The USGS crew looks so tired, thank you all for the current updates, praying you can get some rest. Hugs from the Mainland

[@gooftropp1]

This educated Hawaiian guy is a graduate from Kamehameha and then some. No worry John. We know who you are, and we know you tried to warn them. Never mind the negative comments. They no understand our world even when you probably gave them the scientific data on a silver plate. Thanks for all your work and for all of your precious insight...Mahea

[@equarg]

Dear Haters. This poor guy had probably had NOT had a decent nights sleep since the initial earthquake and fissures opening up! He is probably exhausted and suffering from an overdose of coffee. So be a little understanding of his muttering and ah's........ Dealing with silly government officials and ridiculous reporter questions is also not helping!

[@darthmom1019]

equarg - What a lot of people do not realize is that people who work in areas of destruction or high stress areas can & usually suffer from stress and/or issues of or associated with PTSD. It's not just a problem for those in combat situations. Witnessing destruction, working with severely injured, etc can take its toll on the mind, body, and spirit of people if they don't have a break now & then.

[@JamesWhite-yj7sd]

Coffee ????? LOL

[@Thyalwaysseek]

He has been muttering like this since his first news conference...not good enough. These people at USGS are paid by the taxpayer and part of his job is to keep the public informed.

[@ariesmight4141]

equarg. Or he's a 60's stoner. Who still enjoy's a good amount of powee mowee.

[@equarg]

Cornland Wasteland I agree. Aspergers are like that. Was diagnosed as a child as ADHD but Mom now thinks it's more Aspergers. I can talk history, forensics, animals, ext for HOURS. I am a mild case apparently. But when I get fixated on something WATCH OUT!

This is guy is great . He dont tell you somthing if he don't know. And he tells you so.

[@kbaise931]

this guy has been on top of things since the beginning .he and the mayor are so overwhelmed with reality.praying for all.

[@dianesturlin743]

K Baise my prayers are joining yours.

[@grahamward7952]

i dont think he is overwhelmed with reality,(stoned?) in 2012 he predicted this very scenario, and the lava burying the geo thermal power plant. if he would have been a little more assertive and told them not to build and frack there, this wouldn't be happening now.

[@anxioussmurf2057]

Unbelievable how much the crater has changed.

[@arabella959]

After you read the below comments you will see why USGS disabled their comment YT page section. Smart move.

[@itsjudystube7439]

Bella Mauka I was thinking the same

[@anxioussmurf2057]

Shame the idiots spoil it for the rest of us who genuinely appreciate what the USGS are doing.

[@adelaidemarie]

excellent job. i like this guy. it would have been nice to have some youtubers present asking questions too. it will be interesting to see the orange hats interpretation of what he heard.

[@UpcycleElectronics]

Can someone go grab a couple undergrads to seed into these question groups? I swear, the bar has been set extremely low here. I've watched every one of these for weeks. This is pathetic. Not a single person from any media outlet and asking questions has spent 15 minutes researching volcanism. The most intellectual question has been 'do you think this parallels the 1924 eruption?' That was several weeks ago. Com'on people! They've stated that there was potential for a major steam explosion event like 1924 back when the lava lake first subsided. Then a few days later this guy showed up and said they were revising the whole steam event hypothesis. Here he said it was a steam explosion. What's that all about. He's also mentioned that they felt Kilauea should be reclassified as an explosive volcano. So the intelligent questions would be, what other parallel events and volcanos is USGS drawing parallels to at this point, or how does the current influx of data help you to revise your understanding of Kilauea? I swear there are more than a few imbeciles at these things acting like a scientist is a weather man there to predict the future. Science is observation and recording of information. By asking a scientist about anything unrelated to observations and recorded information proves your a total idiot. Ask him/them about the SCIENTIFIC facts that allow the rest of us to draw our own conclusions about the future implications. Quit trying to show off a 2 digit IQ. If this is the best these reporters can do, get some new people. This is just pathetic and pointless both for this guy's time and for those of us in the intellectual minority. -Jake

[@EuphemiaGrubb]

Same all over. No real reporters/journalists anymore.

[@itsjudystube7439]

Upcycle Electronics You could put those questions to USGS on their Facebook site, which seems to be more specialist. I think this video is purely a simple update of the known facts. There is masses of information available on the USGS website too, regarding historical eruptions. 😃

[@junipersnow1]

Someone intelligent might ask: Why everyone is questioning the activities at the Geothermal plant , spicifically Fracking type activities that would actually and "Unusually" open up space for the Lava/Magma to "unnaturally" go in such abundance!?

[@UpcycleElectronics]

jBird I think that's a bit speculative especially given the potential implications and backlash. I doubt they'd touch that with a 10 meter stick. The better line of questions, in my opinion would be to ask for their distribution of sensors, manpower, and resources. Specifically determining where they distribute and redistribute resources would imply their level of importance and open them up to questions about these changes. I want to know about the real science. You know these people from USGS are just trying to do their duty for the media while not creating mass panic or creating a political issue. First someone needs keep in mind the last two points. Then ask questions that reveal what the scientists are physically taking action on. Once they reveal an action has been taken use that to draw out a reason for the actions. ...how many people are on the ground? Has that/is that going to change?...How have sensors/monitoring systems been changed? Is there more help/labor on the way? ...Or go full blown, these guys are 'scientific foreign English language geeks...so...how has recent activity influenced your past research? Do you plan to write/publish any of your recent findings?...How do you feel the academic community will react to the findings and data coming from this event in coming years? There are a million questions and lines of reasoning that could reveal anything you want to know. Don't ask about predictions for the future. Don't ask about tourism. Don't ask for them to say the same stupid stuff over and over. We all know you feel guilty for not having an intelligent question. Adopt a new motto: 'better to be silent and thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.' -Jake

[@inspirationalquote3645]

jBird I think you're on to something here. The geothermal plant people are definitely the bad guys in this drama. I bet their plan all along was to ruin this whole area so they could buy it on the cheap and then build a lot more geothermal plants on it. Stranger things have happened. We're not going to let them get away with it though.

[@susie154]

The best info and pics of the crator so far 👍

[@phillpauley6672]

This is an amazing time to do research on why volcanoes erupt. What causes it? How does it build up pressure enough to erupt? So many questions and it’s doing it all in slow motion. Wish I’d have gone to college for this because this is so freaking interesting!!!

[@cerulpure]

This was great info. Mahalo from Kona.~

[@joyleenpoortier7496]

Jim I have a question for you. With the collapsing of the Kilauea caldera do you think this is the closing end of activity at the crater. I think No 8 fissure is the new volcano and time has come for Halemaumau and PUu Oo to go dormant. I am certainly no expert that is why I am asking you as clearly you are. Please excuse my spelling as I’m Australian and not use to spelling them out. Thank you.

[@richardgoldman8761]

Jim is just briefing and answering questions, not reading a treatise on Kīlauea. He might be depressed with the conclusion he’s come to about the eruption, and doesn’t want to share the (horrible) reality.

[@willyjimmy8881]

I hope all of the electronic monitoring that's happening leads to a 3d time lapse of this event. I'd bet it would be an amazing thing to see unfold.

[@renegade44040]

I wish he was standing there with a pointer and a good over head shot of the crater and rift zone blown up behind him. I think that would help better explain his answers. Poor soul looks exhausted.

[@fredivory4304]

That upwelling of water is CRAZY!

[@peccatumDei]

I wish someone would ask if there's been any change in the activity at Loihi.

[@itsjudystube7439]

peccatumDei if you do a search on Loihi, there is something that I read a few days ago that should appear. I can’t remember whether there was something in a video update or whether it was just a written report. I think there was basically nothing to say, but I may have dozed off in that bit. 🤣👍

[@scottthorson1]

Jim was obviously not into answering questions from the students today but I swear this guy needs his own Volcano reality show and he should be made the official Volcanism Geologist Guru. He just seems like he would be a cool cat to smoke one with!

[@RobertMStahl]

Is the subsidence "energy" about the new shape of the L shaped near to surface structure, related to gas-magma "signatures" in time? Is that signature on time interpretable in any energy balance observations, in changing, or stretching? Is this a continuous or discontinuous signature?

[@bluecatblu76]

Why do people judge intelligence because the are not wearing a suit or a designer outfit? I know some of the most high class people who dress in designer clothing but are as dumb as. I would love to hang out with this guy. He’s down to earth and his intelligence is probably off the scale.

[@wiretamer5710]

I'm not sure who to feel more sorry for... the scientist who is REALLY sick of dumming down the huge mass of observational data he and his colleges are pouring over.... or the journalists who by now are totally sick of their questions receiving the same obtuse answers.

[@RIXRADvidz]

a much better source of information that ''Dancin' Stan'' and the USGS lady that was too far from the mic. he has the gravitas of a geologist that gives you reassurance that he Knows What He's Talking About. new sub.

[@heyteacher3250]

Where does the material that falls from the rim or subsides into the crater end up? Does it melt and become lava? And why are there persistent islands in the big lava stream from Fissure 8? Why doesn't that material melt away?

[@CGSeever]

Has someone estimated the cubic volume of the fissure 8 lava flow? Say Total, and cubic yards per minute?

[@Vulcano7965]

As of June 7th, the USGS estimated the total lava volume to be 114 million m³.

[@CGSeever]

Thank you, Vulcano

[@kimberlyk3928]

[@brendanh8978]

So, if the slumping rims of the crater were to collapse entirely into the crater, and really fill it in with hundreds of feet of rubble, will that mean that the next steam explosion will build up to much greater pressures before blowing that rubble out of the way? Like potentially a much more massive, damaging phreatic explosion?

[@skrame01]

Colonel Angus reporters need to ask more questions like this.

[@fatherthomas1575]

it's called the mouth of the volcano for a reason , it eats fissure 8 poops😂

[@richardgoldman8761]

The conduit is only so big, the amount of rubble doesn’t dictate the size of the explosion. The quality of seal (how well the conduit is plugged, how airtight) and the amount of water flashing to steam are factors. One would not expect the water table to ‘all of a sudden’ supply a greater amount of water (which would create more steam), probably just the same steady stream.

[@wiretamer5710]

maybe... nothing is certain. The rubble is very loose and its density is all over the place, or could allow a significant amount of the gas to escape without incident. the may be underground faults that defeat the plug's integrity, or the gas may go elsewhere in the system.

[@itsjudystube7439]

Stephen Kramer Yes they do, but they don’t understand. It is easy for those of us who are interested in volcanology, to expect better of the other 99.9% of the population though. 🤣 We forget that they don’t know what to ask unless they are specialised reporters. As a kid I wanted to work in volcanology until I realised how dangerous it was. This has been fantastic for the information provided and the direct contact with USGS and others who understand so much. I am watching it unfold with a mixture of horror, fear and fascination, 😳😱🙏👍🤯🤣

[@itsjudystube7439]

This was provided by usgs. It might explain the “missing “earthquakes. It is from their Facebook page. We think this results from an unfortunate misunderstanding. The sheer number of earthquakes at Kilauea's summit is overwhelming to the computer systems. This has resulted in several earthquakes being mislocated by the automatic location software (the earthquakes are coming so quickly at times that the computer cannot tell them apart, and different earthquakes are being picked as the same, which gives locations that are incorrect). Some of the earthquakes also have very odd energy patterns, with lots of long-period shaking that gives the earthquake a smeared appearance and makes it hard to pick an onset time (which is critical for location work). Earthquakes are manually checked, and analysts found many (in the well over 10,000 that have occurred at the summit in the past few weeks) that were either located in the wrong place or that did not actually exist (that the computer "created" to explain patterns of seismic energy recorded in various places). When analysts then relocate the earthquakes to their proper place, the original event is removed form the catalog. We're sorry for this confusion. Quite simply, the unprecedented level of seismicity at Kilauea's summit is wreaking havoc on the automatic location algorithms. This is why having a well-trained group of analysts who review earthquake locations is so important.

[@missymason3850]

Was fraking reason for the volcanoe erupting? Why did it erupt?

[@dianesturlin743]

I've seen one disparaging comments after another about this gentleman's presentation of the facts. People are attacking his appearance (he's working 24/7 right now). In addition to that I've seen people attacked the appearance of the mayor, one commenter suggested he go home and go to sleep. Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't his house destroyed. Yeah that poor guy has one of the ones that no longer has a home or a bed or a sheet to throw on it. I thought his presentation was clear and very understandable. I truly appreciate everything these people are doing. I was saddened to see comment or say oh these are all rich people and they've got insurance that will replace everything. That is not entirely true a few of the homes that were destroyed in vacationland where timeshare and Rental condos. A lot of the people that have been left without land or home we're not wealthy. Now on top of losing everything, they are being told by the crooked insurance companies that they weren't covered for lava or they weren't covered for earthquakes. The majority of these people will have no monetary restitution whatsoever they are just left homeless. A lot of them lost homes that had been in their families for Generations. No they're not wealthy people and no the insurance found a loophole once again to make sure that even though people paid for their protection they don't have to deliver it. This might be the perfect time to call for some insurance reform.

[@ladykiri42]

For the sake of many who are only now interested in what the volcano is doing daily: many of the tourists who visit here say, "It feels like being in a foreign land". Guess what? Being here is as much being in a foreign land as visiting Japan or France. Hawaii has it's own language, which is used by many of the locals. Hawaii also has its own local culture, and celebrations. We learned a long time ago, that light weight, loose clothing is more comfortable than wearing a suit and tie, or form fitting dress. We ladies do wear a lot of dresses here, but they fit that description of loose, not form fitting. Please, if you don't live here, and feel every place here should feel the same as visiting another state on the mainland, stop and consider we are not there, nor do we want to be. We love everything about being in, and part of, Hawaii.

[@SCW1060]

I for one would love to hear what the HVO expects the end result will be permanently there when alls said and done

[@brendanh8978]

Yeah. I supposed they don't really know, so wont venture a public guess. But does Hale'mau'mau crater reactivate and return to being the center of the Kilauea eruption at some point, or does the current active fissure become the focal point for the foreseeable future? What could change things back to the original state, where the magma is erupting closer to the summit and not so far downrift? Lava tube collapse? Earthquake? You can see a bunch of craters and cones on the east of the rift, which makes me assume this has happened a lot in the geologic past, and generally comes to an end at some point, otherwise that side of the island would be built up higher like Kilauea summit.

[@fatherthomas1575]

Scott Wheeler 80 years and still flowing.... there is the end result

[@SCW1060]

Colonel Angus you're right things are still unknown but with the crater collapsing I'm thinking it's pretty much done as a lava lake I'm not sure what will become of Puu oo it could refill or not but i am thinking that fissure #8 has a good chance to become a permanent vent too

[@pahrahinc3895]

[@terenfro1975]

He still will not entertain the idea that Kilauea is probably not going to come back from this and that fissure 8 is now the main vent for the hot spot. This is the collapse of the underground magma chamber that fed Kilauea’s vent given the earthquake history of this eruption. The island is moving south as it has done for millions of years.

[@HerbertVickers]

Here's a question. Did the geothermal power plant use fracking in their procedure, and if so, are they culpable in creating a displacement from the previous eruption points into the current straight line vector of eruptions leading directly to the power plant?

[@briangman3]

Herbert Vickers - not likely, the existing fracture lines in the rock and build up of previous material guide the new flows.

[@conniearnold9969]

Graham Ward I think I read it will explode.

[@jimhofoss9982]

Graham Ward The crater gets larger with each explosion....greater volumes of material sloughs in....more weight induced over the vent....more pressure required to clear its throat....bigger explosive eruptions to come? Or will it plug itself off, and not be able to build enough pressure to vent from the crater? And if this happens, will the increased pressure reflect on fissure 8? It is growing in height.....when do you cease to call it a fissure? And call it a new volcanic cone? Amazing forces on display courtesy of Mother Nature. Hope everyone there stays safe, and gives this event the respect and caution it deserves. These eruptions has been measured and fairly predictable since the flows have hit the ocean.....no saying that it will continue in this manner. USGS has done a great job, but we, as humans, know little about volcanos, or predicting outcomes. We can only respond, not mitigate. We only dwell on this beautiful planet, we cannot control it. Living with our environment is the best solution we can muster, greater forces than mankind are playing out. Makes one feel rather small and humble, knowing that we are not in a controllable situation. cheers from canada.

All volcano's show a heating up period before an eruption. That's why the walls are caving in around Kilauea. Because the ground temps are increasing the moisture that once was in the ground is now gone.

I thought the crater was collapsing because the lava lake underneath is being emptied out at #8

[@chrishartley4553]

MegaTriumph1: You are right of course. For some reason I was thinking you were talking about a general heating of the cone. Gas from crator(s) and fumerols and any hotsprings will show signs of heating. or anywhere heat escapes. Satellites can detect this as well. .... And boreholes would probably pick this up as well. Sorry again. For some reasin i had this image of a whole volcano gently simmering away underfoot.

usgs bs not reporting all earthquakes in hawaii

[@scott.c9587]

Maybe if we sacrifice a virgin Kilauea will calm down. Sorry there is no more virgins.

[@ladykiri42]

Surprise isellcatlitter - Marijuana used for medical reasons is legal here in Hawaii. If you don't know the person, nor the island, you really shouldn't make it sound like he's breaking someone's personal taboo.

The reporter with the hat though...

[@ladykiri42]

What "reporter"??? I think he wears his hat in this manner to keep his hair from blowing in his eyes, maybe. What he looks like, does not decrease his intelligence.

[@mikedice7]
