There was no evidence of ash emissions or elevated surface temperatures in partly cloudy satellite images over the past day. There have been no indications of explosive ash-producing activity from satellite or from distant seismic, pressure or lightning sensors.
It remains possible for intermittent, sudden explosions of blocks and ash to occur at any time, and ash clouds exceeding 20,000 feet above sea level may develop. Such explosions and their associated ash clouds may go undetected in satellite imagery for hours. If a large, explosive, ash-producing event occurs, seismic, infrasound, ...
Mauna Loa is not inflating. Seismicity rates were low.
is occurring at slow rates, dominated by southeasterly motion of the southeast flank. If any inflation is occurring, it is at a very low rate. Upgrades of many Mauna Loa sites in late 2011 produced some apparent data offsets that will be corrected once a longer post-upgrade time series is available for analysis.
There was no unusual seismicity. HVO seismic networks detected 5 shallow events within the upper southwest rift, 1 earthquake around the lower southwest rift zone, 3 quakes beneath the ...
No unusual deformation or seismicity was detected. A total of 10 earthquakes were located beneath Mauna Kea with five being deeper than 20 km and five being shallower.
Overall eruptive activity was low. DI inflation and the rising of the summit lava lake started last night. Within Pu`u `O`o Crater, glow was visible from sources on the northeast and southeast edges of the floor. Surface flows southeast of Pu`u `O`o were slowing in activity based on satellite imagery and there were no active surface flows on the pali, coastal plain, or entering the ocean. Seismic tremor levels were low and gas emissions were elevated.
The summit tilt network recorded DI inflation and the ...

Renewed eruptive activity producing a small 40 meter (130 foot) lava dome was first observed in satellite data on 30 January 2012, following a month of little to no observable change. The new dome occupies only a small portion of the approximately 200 meter (650 foot) diameter summit crater. There have been no observations of ash ...
Overall eruptive activity was low. DI deflation and the lowering of the summit lava lake continued at a slower rate. Within Pu`u `O`o Crater, glow was visible from sources on the northeast and southeast edges of the floor. Surface flows southeast of Pu`u `O`o may have stalled based on satellite imagery and there were no active surface flows on the pali, coastal plain, or entering the ocean. Seismic tremor levels were low at the summit but increasing near Pu`u `O`o. Gas emissions were elevated.
The summit ...
Joy Reidenberg, an anatomist based in New York, and Mark Evans, a veterinary scientist, dissected a sperm whale that washed up in Kent, England, for an episode of the TV show “Inside Nature's Giants.”A chance call made Joy Reidenberg, a researcher at Mount Sinai School of Medicine who has performed hundreds of dissections on various mammals, a TV celebrity.
A warning at the 54-year-old Chalk River reactor in Ontario, whose license expires in four years.Continued obstacles plague the effort to provide a reliable supply of technetium 99m, a radioisotope crucial to identifying heart and kidney disease and assisting in breast cancer surgery.
Before a legal showdown, a finding from Dr. Judy Mikovits at the Whittemore Peterson Institute for Neuro-Immune Disease in Reno, Nev., gave hope to desperate patients. Above, a culture in her lab there.As the published evidence for the source of chronic fatigue syndrome fell apart, a legal melodrama erupted, dismaying and demoralizing patients and many members of the scientific community.
The ability of exercise to speed the removal of garbage from inside our body's cells may be one of its most valuable, if least visible, effects, a new study suggests.
Perhaps too much emphasis is placed on looking for existing breast cancer when the search should focus on prevention and the possibility of finding a vaccine.
