Thermal camera data for the summit of Kīlauea Volcano, 2019–2022

Following the 2018 collapses of the caldera floor at the summit of Kīlauea Volcano (Anderson and others, 2019; Neal and others, 2019), the enlarged and deepened depression hosted a variety of volcanic activity between 2019 and 2022. These events included an unprecedented water lake and two prolonged episodes of lava lake activity. This data release includes images from a stationary thermal camer

Elevation of the lava lake in Halemaʻumaʻu crater, Kīlauea Volcano, from 2009 to 2018

This data release includes measurements of the surface elevation of the lava lake within Halemaʻumaʻu crater, at the summit of Kīlauea Volcano, during the 2008-2018 summit eruption (Patrick and others, 2021). The data were measured by several instruments (laser rangefinder, webcams, lidar) and are compiled here to provide the most complete dataset yet available on the elevation of Kīlauea’s 2008-

Colorimeter data for the summit water lake at Kīlauea Volcano, Island of Hawaiʻi, 2020

In 2018, a large effusive eruption on the lower flank of Kīlauea Volcano was associated with collapse and subsidence of the summit caldera floor (Neal and others, 2019).  The bottom of Halemaʻumaʻu, a crater nested within the summit caldera, subsided by more than 500 m.  In July 2019, water was observed ponding on the deepest part of the Halemaʻumaʻu crater floor and the water rose and enlarged in

August, 2022, airborne lidar survey of Mount St. Helens crater, upper North Fork Toutle River, and South Fork Toutle River

The lateral blast, debris avalanche, and lahars of the May 18th, 1980, eruption of Mount St. Helens, Washington, dramatically altered the surrounding landscape. Lava domes were extruded during the subsequent eruptive periods of 1980-1986 and 2004-2008. During 2022, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers contracted the acquisitions of airborne lidar surveys of Mount St. Helens crater and two primary drainage

Description, dates, and locations of lava samples collected during the Pu‘u‘ō‘ō (1983–2018) and summit lava lake (2008–2018) eruptions of Kīlauea Volcano, Island of Hawai‘i

This data release contains information about the lava samples that were collected during two volcanic eruptions of Kīlauea Volcano, Island of Hawai‘i. The first eruption occurred from 1983 to 2018 at Pu‘u‘ō‘ō and the second occurred contemporaneously from 2008 to 2018 at the summit lava lake. The data release provides a comprehensive list of lava samples that are currently stored in the physical s

Dataset establishing garnet stability in arc basalt, andesite, and dacite – an experimental study

These data are geochemical analyses of phase equilibria experiments.

Sample details and near-real-time ED-XRF, grain size, and grain shape data collected during the November – December 2022 eruption of Mauna Loa volcano, Island of Hawaiʻi

At 11:21 p.m. (Hawaii Standard Time [HST]) on November 27, 2022, Mauna Loa volcano on the Island of Hawaiʻi started erupting from fissures at its summit caldera, Mokuʻāweoweo. This was followed shortly afterwards by the opening of a segment of fissures in the direction of the Southwest Rift Zone. These were mostly within the structural boundary of the caldera, so their location is denoted as ‘Sout

Elemental and Lead-Hafnium-Neodymium-Strontium Isotopic Composition of a Suite of Northwest Hawaiian Ridge Postshield Lavas

The Hawaiian-Emperor chain, the surface expression of the Hawaiian mantle plume which has been active for at least 81 Ma, is divided into the Emperor Seamounts (81-47 Ma), Northwest Hawaiian Ridge (NWHR, 47-6 Ma), and Hawaiian Islands (

Radiocarbon ages, whole-rock geochemical data, and pumice density measurements for the Sacarosa tephra-fall deposit, Misti volcano, southern Peru

These data are derived from the Pleistocene Sacarosa tephra-fall deposit (TFD) which erupted from Misti volcano, Arequipa, southern Peru. The deposit represents a major eruption of Misti and these data are used to characterize the deposit. The radiocarbon ages are from units bracketing the Sacarosa TFD and constrain its eruption age. Whole-rock major and trace element concentrations for Sacarosa p

Rapid-response digital elevation models of the 2020-present summit eruptions at Kilauea Volcano, Island of Hawai'i

We depict changing eruptive features within the summit caldera of Kilauea volcano, Island of Hawai'i with rapid-response digital elevation models (DEMs) acquired since a series of caldera-filling effusive eruptions began on December 20, 2020. These eruptions follow the caldera collapse of 2018, with new lava progressively filling the approximately 1-cubic-kilometer pit that formed between May and

Chemical and isotopic composition of gas, water, and solids from the 2019-2020 water lake in Halema’uma’u Crater, Kīlauea Volcano, Hawaii

Following the 2018 eruption of Kīlauea Volcano (Neal et al, 2019) and the subsequent collapse of the Halema’uma’u crater, groundwater gradually seeped into the newly-deepened crater (Nadeau and others, 2020). Water was first observed in the crater on 7/26/2019, and the water level increased over time until 12/20/2020, when the crater again filled with lava, vaporizing the lake. In the intervening

Model simulation output from a magnitude 7 eruption: the distal Mazama tephra

This data release contains model input and output for 57 simulations of tephra dispersal during the 7.8 ka Mazama eruption. Data were generated during in preparation of the following paper: Buckland HM, Mastin L, Engwell S, Cashman K (2022 (in pess)) Modelling the transport and deposition of ash following a Magnitude 7 eruption: the distal Mazama tephra.
