"New Insights into Kīlauea's Magma Movement and Eruption Likelihood"

The USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory provided detailed information on the recent magmatic intrusion at Kīlauea volcano, which occurred southwest of the summit between January 27 and February 3, 2024. The intrusion led to increased seismicity and ground deformation, with over 700 earthquakes detected on January 31. While the event is currently waning, the volcano remains at an advisory level, and the potential for renewed activity and eruption with little warning still exists. The USGS continues to closely monitor the situation and has outlined possible scenarios for the coming days to weeks.
