100 Years of Tracking Eruptions in Hawaii
photo of fountaining lava A new publication, "The story of the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory," documents how scientists have monitored volcanic and seismic hazards in Hawaii for 100 years and describes a journey of scientific discovery of how Hawaiian volcanoes work. Many photographs and diagrams are included. This is a great inspiration for future volcanologists. Although made in 2002, the USGS film Molten Paradise is a fascinating supplement.
