The building will house the U.S. Geological Survey's Hawaiian Volcano Observatory and Pacific Island Ecosystems Research Center. The 60,000 square-foot Integrated Research Center is expected to be completed in 2025.

The latest eruption at Kīlauea’s summit on the Big Island has paused after 61 days of volcanic activity. Scientists say activity diminished Monday, and by Tuesday, no active lava was in the crater.

Maunaloa’s first eruption in almost four decades is over. And nearby Kīlauea has also gone quiet. Geologist Matt Patrick said that while the volcanoes have distinct magma systems, it is possible they affected one another. HPR's Savannah Harriman-Pote has more.

The USGS Volcano Hazards Program has a new Strategic Science Plan that seeks to target monitoring gaps on the 35 most threatening volcanoes in the nation, including several in Hawaiʻi. Program coordinator Charlie Mandeville said the USGS hopes to work with international partners as well, such as Tonga, to protect communities from violent eruptions.
