USGS Monitoring Kilauea , Following Uptick in Seismic Activity .
'Newsweek' reports that the alert level for the area
around Hawaii's Kilauea volcano has been elevated
following an increase in volcanic activity.
While the volcano is not erupting, an increase in
earthquake activity and ground deformation near
the surface has been observed since June 2.
According to an update released by the U.S.
Geological Survey, the activity suggests that
magma is moving close to the surface. .
Rates of seismicity and deformation
increased further after 5:00 p.m. HST.
At this time, it is not possible to say
with certainty if this activity will
lead to an eruption—the activity
may remain below ground. , U.S. Geological Survey update, via 'Newsweek'.
However, an eruption in Kīlauea's
summit region within Hawai'i
Volcanoes National Park
is one potential outcome, U.S. Geological Survey update, via 'Newsweek'.
Accordingly, the USGS Hawaiian
Volcano Observatory (HVO) is
raising the Volcano Alert Level
for ground-based hazards from
ADVISORY to WATCH and the
Aviation Color Code from
YELLOW to ORANGE, U.S. Geological Survey update, via 'Newsweek'.
HVO continues to closely monitor
Kīlauea for signs of increasing
activity. Should volcanic activity
change significantly, a new Volcanic
Activity Notice will be issued, U.S. Geological Survey update, via 'Newsweek'.
The Hawaii Volcanoes National Park Service said it would
close the nearby Devastation Trail parking lot and
Keanakakoi area until further notice due to the alert.
