May 8, 2024 — Kīlauea gravity survey
Detailed Description
Gravity measurements detect subsurface mass change—for example, magma accumulation or removal beneath the surface. In this way, gravity is a way of detecting changes in the magma reservoir that might otherwise be hidden. This photo shows two gravimeters used one-at-a-time to take measurements. USGS photo by A. Ellis.
