Maunaloa

Two volcanoes separated by more than 6,000 miles of ocean have recently erupted — but the similarities end there. HPR's Savannah-Harriman Pote has more.

UH Mānoa professor Scott Rowland has studied volcanic flows across the world, under the sea and even on Mars. The Conversation’s Savannah Harriman-Pote spoke with him about how this latest Maunaloa eruption compares to past lava flows.

Scientists say lava from Maunaloa is no longer an imminent threat to the main highway across the Big Island. The U.S. Geological Survey said Thursday that the volcano is still erupting, but lava that was feeding the flow heading toward the road has been cut off.

The Maunaloa eruption has made Hawaiʻi a global celebrity once again, but Hawaiʻi County Mayor Mitch Roth says some people are being disrespectful of the land, culture and community. He joined The Conversation to share the latest.

In addition to the increased traffic prompted by the Maunaloa eruption, health risks from vog have also raised concerns. The Conversation’s Russell Subiono sat down with Hawaiʻi Department of Health’s toxicologist Dr. Diana Felton this morning to discuss vog.

Public schools on Hawaiʻi Island remain open despite the Maunaloa eruption. While there is a degree of excitement among some teachers and students — there’s also a level of anxiety. HPR’s Casey Harlow got different perspectives from a teacher at Hilo High and the complex area superintendent.

Waimea resident Ed Teixeira can see the glow in the sky from his Hawaiʻi Island home. The former vice director of the State Civil Defense, now known as the Hawaiʻi Emergency Management Agency, says public safety is paramount as people try and get as close as they can to view the lava flows.
