Volcano talk planned at Konawaena Elementary
U.S. Geological Survey Hawaiian Volcano Observatory geologist Frank Trusdell will report on the current status of Mauna Loa and Hualalai, and provides an update on Kilauea’s two ongoing eruptions.
His talk begins at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday in the Konawaena Elementary School cafeteria, 81-901 Onouli Road. The event is free. Details are posted at hvo.wr.usgs.gov.
Mauna Loa has erupted 33 times since 1843, most recently in 1984. In 2015, the volcano alert level for Mauna Loa was elevated from normal to advisory because of increased seismicity and deformation at the volcano. Hualalai has been quiet for over 200 years, but it is still an active volcano that could erupt again.
