#maunaloaeruption — Public Fediverse posts

Hawaiʻi photographer Ryan Ikeuchi just melted our faces off with this retrospective IG post of the time that both Kīlauea & Mauna Loa were erupting at Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park, 2 years ago...AND the full moon!

This is a screenshot from IG. Find his account here: https://www.instagram.com/ryan_ikeuchi/

"The simultaneous eruptions at Mauna Loa and Kīlauea, from an empty overlook, beneath the setting moon. 12/5/2022."

Comment:
"Happy no one lost their life or property, hassa sad because no more new rock or pretty lava."

Response:
"Some of the lava fountains were quite spectacular. Sharing with you, a short video from Dec 1, 2022 of Mauna Loa's fissure 3."

"This idea does remain robust because the two volcanoes can still "feel" one another through stress effects. They don't have to be directly connected for this to happen. An example model of this process was published in 2012: nature.com/articles/ngeo1….https://www.nature.com/articles/ngeo1612"

Answer:
"There are geochemical trends that separate Hawaiian volcanoes - the Kea and Loa trends. Mauna Loa is on the Loa trend and Kilauea is on the Kea trend. Isotopic geochemical signals provide evidence for a bilateral hotspot plume that feeds the two trends."

Question:
"Would it be possible to provide more detail on the geochemistry of the two vents & why these differences indicate a magmatic source from different parts of the mantle- As opposed to fractions crystallisation
Given the timing of eruption of the 2 vents is the theory still robust"

Question:
"Are Mauna Loa and Kilauea’s plumbing systems completely disconnected or are they joined at depth?"

Answer:
"The compositions they erupt have subtle differences that indicate they come from different places in the mantle. So while they are part of the same overall hotspot system, they do not appear to be physically joined."

"Is this a coincidence? Maybe. Maybe not. The volcanoes are not directly connected, but might "feel" one another via stress effects. Mauna Loa's eruption could have allowed Kīlauea to "relax." That said, Kīlauea's eruption was already pretty tenuous, occurring at very low rates."

"Yes, you saw it right -- alert levels for BOTH Mauna Loa and Kīlauea were lowered this morning. Neither volcano is erupting right now, and gas emissions are at near-background levels, although HVO volcanologists remain vigilant for changes that might indicate renewed activity."

Question:
"Was there inflation at the end of Mauna Loa's 1984 eruption or is this something new?"

Answer:
"We don't really know. The low levels of inflation we are seeing now would not have been detectable by the techniques used to measure deformation in 1984. It's pretty small."

Answer:
"There are. An oldy but a goody is https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1029/GL007i011p00925 In a nutshell, a volcano has to be about to erupt anyway for tides to make a difference. Stresses generated by tides just aren't that significant compared to stresses associated with magma accumulation/transport."

Question:
"How close did it make it to Saddle road?"

Answer:
"The closest lava reached is still about 1.7 mi from Saddle Road. The middle part of that flow is still hot and a bit higher in the middle than the edges. It will creep a bit closer as the hot insides push outward as the flow settles. Saddle Road is no longer in imminent danger."

USGS HVO reports that Mauna Loa continues to erupt but is no threat to the community. Fissure 3 lava flow rate is very low, and the flow front nearing Daniel K. Inouye Highway has stalled. (Good news for our Hawai'i Island community!)"

Question:
"How hot is that lava?"

Answer:
"Basalt lava like this is usually between 1100 to 1250°C (2100-2280° F). In other words, about 4X as hot as the broiler in your oven!"

Answer:
"Probably! It's also difficult for cooled lava to sink into molten lava, since they're so close in density. Someone would have to shove it down, and we imagine no one would want to stand that close..."

Answer:
"We cannot forecast when or if it will stop. We can only look at the history of eruptive activity and the conditions as they are. Eruptions of this sort typically last for 2-3 weeks, but eruptions have lasted for more than a year in the past."

:We're not sure what process might be used to determine when the road would have to be closed. But we would caution against extrapolating the rates too far down the line. A few days ago the rates suggested ~2 days before it might hit the road. Lava flows are just so dynamic."

Comment:
"That sound is amazing, like glass breaking."

Response:
"It is EXACTLY glass breaking! :) So amazing that you can see and hear why the rocks are called "clinker" along the surface of 'a'ā lava."

"Lava flows are keeping ground-based alert level at WARNING. New lava flows can break out suddenly & rain/steam creates dangerous visibility conditions. Heed @CivilDefenseHI advice if visiting flows. Remain near vehicle."

"Mesmirizing live-stream of lava fountaining into the air? ✅
Sometimes you get what you ask for...most importantly, this view will help us see what's happening at #MaunaLoa fissure 3 in real-time. https://youtu.be/SnjGqn1K9ZQ Note, the weather's not great, so it's bound to get blurry."

Response:
"Those eruption onsets are always very intense. And we still don't understand what governs whether or not an eruption will migrate into a rift zone -- and if so, which rift."

"The Landsat thermal image might help with mapping the SW corner."

"Is that yellow speck in the bottom right Halema'uma'u?!"

"It sure is!"

"Amazing! Really puts the size difference into perspective."

"Geochemical results from first 48 hours of Mauna Loa eruption:
> glassy near vent
> small crystals of plagioclase and olivine at flow front as lava cools
> 6-6.8% MgO
> eruption temp 1156 C (2113 F)
> similar to past lava compositions
> no leftover lava from 1984 is apparent"

Look at that: Two Hawaii volcanoes going at the same time! #MaunaLoa and #Kilauea are working together to release some of Earth's bottled-up heat.
