2018 Fall Meeting

10-15 December

The 2018 eruption of Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii gave scientists an unprecedented opportunity to study volcanic eruptions in real time. In this briefing, researchers present new insights into volcanic eruptions and lava flows learned from this historic event. Panelists will discuss the mechanisms of the summit eruption and caldera collapse as well as details of the lava delta that formed on the seafloor and transient hydrothermal activity that occurred around the underwater lava flows.
