USGS Bottom Trawl Sampling on Lake Erie

The U.S. Geological Survey Great Lakes Science Center has conducted lake-wide surveys of the fish community in Lake Erie since the 1960s. The resulting data on relative abundance, size, and age of fishes are used by state and provincial agencies to manage Lake Erie fish stocks. This video shows bottom trawl sampling during June 2015.

Spattering in Halema`uma`u Crater

This Quicktime movie shows spattering at the margin of the summit lava lake in Halema‘uma‘u Crater. Spattering has been common at the lake, and when it occurs is easily visible from the public viewing area at Jaggar Museum. This video shows a closer view from the rim of Halema‘uma‘u, which is closed to the public due to volcanic hazards.

Small Explosive Event at Halema`uma`u Crater

This Quicktime movie shows a small explosive event that occurred at 1:20pm today at the summit lava lake. A collapse of a portion of the Halema‘uma‘u Crater wall impacted the lake and triggered an explosion of spatter. Fist-size clasts were found scattered along the rim of Halema‘uma‘u Crater near the closed visitor overlook.
