    "Kilauea Volcano Erupts in Hawaii, Experts Monitor Ongoing Activity"
    Oct 4 2025
    Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii has recently captured significant attention in the geological community following an intense six-hour lava fountaining event on October first. According to the US Geological Survey, this was the thirty-fourth episode of the current eruption sequence at Kilauea, with activity peaking when the volcano’s south vent produced fountains estimated to reach as high as one thousand three hundred feet. The eruption covered a large portion of Halemaʻumaʻu crater’s floor with fresh lava flows, and experts are closely monitoring the situation as the summit region shows signs of continued inflation, indicating that additional eruptive episodes could occur within weeks. The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory continues to operate its monitoring equipment despite funding uncertainties, ensuring real-time updates on volcanic hazards for the local community.

    Elsewhere in the United States, the Geological Earth Mapping Experiment or GEMx, a collaboration between NASA and the US Geological Survey, has been using high-altitude aircraft to map parts of California, Nevada, Arizona, and New Mexico. Recently, a flight out of Edwards Air Force Base in California deployed advanced sensors to scan for lithium and cobalt, minerals critical to various green technologies. By deploying the Earth Resources 2 aircraft at extreme altitudes, the GEMx mission seeks to offer new insights into the distribution of vital minerals, improve supply chain security, and provide data essential for assessing environmental impacts and supporting sustainable resource development. NASA’s efforts highlight how technology-driven mapping is reshaping mineral exploration and resource management in arid regions of the American West.

    On the academic and research front, Penn State has developed a novel forecast tool to predict dangerous volcanic slope collapses, which can trigger deadly tsunamis. This innovation aims to help scientists and emergency managers anticipate ground movement and warn communities near active volcanoes in the United States and worldwide. Scientists point to notorious events like the 1980 Mount Saint Helens disaster and the 2018 Anak Krakatau tsunami as reminders of why better forecasting tools are essential for disaster preparedness and risk reduction efforts.

    Looking ahead to later in October, the United States and other countries will celebrate Earth Science Week from October twelfth to the eighteenth, with special days dedicated to minerals, fossils, geologic mapping, and inclusion in geosciences. The US Geological Survey and allied organizations plan to use these events to highlight the importance of geological research for policy, education, and public awareness, especially regarding resource management and hazard resilience. This growing interest in geology both at home and abroad mirrors a global push for sustainable development and increased vigilance regarding natural hazards and resource security.

  • Geologic Tensions Across the US: Earthquakes, Droughts, and Emerging Risks Dominate 2025 Landscape

    Geologic Tensions Across the US: Earthquakes, Droughts, and Emerging Risks Dominate 2025 Landscape
    Oct 1 2025
    Across the United States in the final days of September 2025, geologic monitoring reflected a period of heightened concern for both natural events and resource challenges. In the western states, the United States Geological Survey reported that the Geysers geothermal field south of Clear Lake in California experienced 83 small earthquakes with magnitudes over one point zero, the largest registering two point three. The Sierra Nevada region, south of Mammoth Mountain, had six measurable earthquakes, and minor seismic activity was also seen in the Coso Volcanic Field and near the Salton Buttes. These events, while within typical ranges, reinforce the continuous tectonic movement and volcanic potential characteristic of California’s active geologic zones according to the United States Geological Survey.

    The Yellowstone Caldera in Wyoming showed one notable earthquake swarm late in September, consisting of sixteen minor quakes about fourteen miles southwest of Mammoth Hot Springs. Ground deformation data indicates slight uplift since late May, mostly linked to seasonal changes from snowmelt and variations in groundwater, continuing the broader trend of slow subsidence observed since 2015. The Yellowstone Volcano Observatory, a partnership between the United States Geological Survey and several academic agencies, continues to monitor seismicity and ground movement in this geologically significant region, ensuring any early warning for volcanic unrest is available to the public. Overall, Yellowstone’s earthquake and volcanic activity for September remains at background levels as reported by the United States Geological Survey.

    On the East Coast, the most impactful geologic news is the severe and ongoing drought affecting nearly the entire Northeast. According to the National Integrated Drought Information System, record-low streamflows and declining groundwater have led to a rapid increase in dry residential and agricultural wells across Vermont and New Hampshire. Many well drillers are overbooked, delaying new wells into the next spring. In addition to the stress on public water supplies, hydropower generation has been sharply curtailed in northern New England. A hazardous algal bloom developed in the Hudson River near Kingston, New York, prompting warnings to avoid consumption of surface water and reports of high sodium content in tap water for the Hudson Valley. New Hampshire’s largest lakes are now well below their seasonal average, with Lake Winnipesaukee nearly eight inches low and Lake Sunapee over seventeen inches beneath full pond. Ninety-two public water systems across the region have imposed outdoor watering restrictions, directly affecting around two hundred thousand people. Wildfire risk remains high, with New Hampshire and Vermont instituting statewide burn bans, and above-average wildfire activity has been reported by the Maine Forest Service.

    Globally, geoscientists convened at the World Congress on Geology and Earth Science in Berlin, Germany on September twenty-ninth and thirtieth. This event featured research on geomechanical simulation, environmental geosciences, and geological hazard assessment among other topics, with participants from United States universities presenting work on ground water quality, seismic modeling, and emerging geologic risks, underscoring the frequent interplay between geologic events and human systems in both regional and global settings.

  • "Securing Critical Minerals and Monitoring Geological Shifts: Highlights from U.S. and Global Geological Developments"

    "Securing Critical Minerals and Monitoring Geological Shifts: Highlights from U.S. and Global Geological Developments"
    Sep 27 2025
    In the past week, the United States saw several significant developments and discoveries in the field of geology according to the U S Geological Survey. Thirteen states began a collaborative project to better characterize and inventory critical minerals found in both active and abandoned mine waste, an effort aimed at securing future supplies for the growing demand of rare earth elements and modern technologies. The Department of the Interior released its draft 2025 List of Critical Minerals, reinforcing the urgency of these initiatives for national security and emerging green industries. In the Rocky Mountain region, the U S Geological Survey released new resource assessments. The Phosphoria Total Petroleum System, stretching across southwestern Wyoming and northwestern Colorado, is now believed to hold approximately six hundred sixty-six billion cubic feet of natural gas and three million barrels of oil. The nearby Niobrara Formation may contain seven hundred three million barrels of oil and almost six trillion cubic feet of gas. These assessments have implications for regional energy planning and land use policy in the American West.

    Further south, recent fieldwork in Arkansas highlighted the continued yield of naturally occurring diamonds at the Crater of Diamonds State Park. Geology.com showcased new finds and explained how these gems' shapes were gradually altered during their journey from deep within the Earth, offering insights into mantle processes and near-surface weathering. Meanwhile, Yellowstone National Park experienced subtle geological changes as a new thermal pool formed in the Porcelain Basin area of Norris Geyser Basin. The pool likely resulted from a series of mildly explosive events within the last year, as reported by the U S Geological Survey. While these changes are not unusual for Yellowstone's dynamic hydrothermal systems, they remain of close scientific interest given the park's volcanic history.

    On the natural hazards front, seismic reports from the U S Geological Survey and Volcano Discovery noted a relatively quiet week for significant earthquakes in the United States. The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory confirmed that recent low-magnitude tremors on Hawaii’s Big Island did not impact ongoing eruptive activity or cause damage. Globally, moderate earthquakes were detected in the Coral Sea and the Vanuatu region but posed no tsunami threats and had little broader impact.

    Internationally, the Colorado School of Mines in Golden, Colorado, hosted a major forum that brought together geologists, industry leaders, and policymakers to discuss resource sustainability and innovation, reflecting growing interest in securing supply chains for critical minerals. At the same time, global conferences from Berlin to Santiago explored topics including environmentally responsible mining practices, advances in digital geology, and geo-risk assessment, highlighting worldwide attention to geological challenges. The collective picture shows heightened domestic and international activity centered on mineral security, energy resources, and ongoing geological monitoring, set against a wider context of technological adaptation and earth science collaboration.
