  • Kilauea Volcano Poised for Imminent Eruption as U.S. Geological Activity Intensifies

    Kilauea Volcano Poised for Imminent Eruption as U.S. Geological Activity Intensifies
    Nov 19 2025
    In recent days, geological activity and research in the United States have featured significant developments. According to the United States Geological Survey, Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii remains in a pause phase, but visible gas emissions and summit inflation signal that another episode of fountaining is likely imminently. The current eruption, which has been ongoing since December 2024, has displayed a pattern of episodic lava fountains lasting from a few hours to over a week, with pauses between episodes allowing magma chambers to recharge. Forecasts suggest the next active phase could occur between late November and the final week of the month. On the mainland, the Cascade Range volcanos show similar low-intensity activity, with ongoing glow noted at vents, intermittent slumping at crater rims, and low-level tremors associated with volcanic gas movements. These volcanoes remain under observation due to the possibility of renewed activity.

    The U.S. Geological Survey also highlighted recent seismic activity in the Geysers geothermal region of California, reporting 111 earthquakes above magnitude 1 in the last week, the largest at magnitude 2.9. Meanwhile, Yellowstone Caldera remains at normal background activity levels but continues to subside, reflecting a long-term trend observed since 2015. Deformation measurements indicate the end of the seasonal uplift caused by snowmelt, with subsidence resuming as expected for this time of year.

    Elsewhere in the United States, new assessments of energy resources attract attention. The United States Geological Survey released fresh estimates for the Niobrara Formation and the Phosphoria Petroleum System, concentrated in southwest Wyoming and northwest Colorado. These formations are now estimated to contain 703 million barrels of oil and 5.8 trillion cubic feet of natural gas in the Niobrara, along with 666 billion cubic feet of gas and 3 million barrels of oil in the Phosphoria, indicating ongoing interest in domestic resource potential.

    In critical minerals, the U.S. Geological Survey updated its list to include both potassium-rich potash and lithium, reflecting the growing priority of securing domestic supplies for emerging technologies including energy storage and electric vehicles. This update has been welcomed by industry advocates such as American Critical Minerals, who point to the importance of these resources as the United States works toward greater supply independence and renewable energy adoption.

    Internationally, a recent breakthrough in Greenland has shed light on how massive hidden underwater waves are rapidly melting glaciers. A research team used a ten kilometer fiber optic cable to reveal how iceberg calving creates submarine tsunamis, stirring up warm seawater and intensifying glacial melt. The finding highlights the interconnected nature of geological and climate processes, echoing global concerns about rapid change in the polar regions. Meanwhile, the tenth anniversary of the UNESCO Global Geoparks program is being marked, with 229 designated sites worldwide now recognized for their geological, educational, and sustainable tourism value, reinforcing a shared focus on heritage protection and conservation.

  • "Uncovering America's Critical Mineral Needs: Geologists Tackle Supply Chain Challenges"

    "Uncovering America's Critical Mineral Needs: Geologists Tackle Supply Chain Challenges"
    Nov 15 2025
    In recent days, geology in the United States has taken the spotlight with the U.S. Geological Survey publishing its final 2025 list of critical minerals on November sixth. This list identifies sixty minerals deemed essential for the nation’s economy and security, with a focus on potential supply chain disruptions. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, new additions to the list include boron, copper, lead, metallurgical coal, phosphate, potash, rhenium, silicon, silver, and uranium. The update reflects new data, feedback, and changing industrial and geopolitical needs. Mineral security has become increasingly significant as rare earth elements, vital for smartphones, hard drives, and advanced defense systems, continue to be largely imported.

    This renewed attention on critical minerals comes as researchers highlight the need to develop more domestic sources and reduce dependency on imports. The U.S. Geological Survey emphasizes that rare earth elements could cause the highest cost to the American economy if their supply is disrupted. American Critical Minerals, an industry group, welcomed the inclusion of potash and lithium due to their importance for fertilizers and batteries.

    Continuing in geological developments, the summit eruption at Kīlauea in Hawaii remains active. The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory reported that by November thirteenth, the eruption had reached thirty-six episodes of lava fountaining since it began in December of last year. These ongoing volcanic events allow scientists to study eruption dynamics and gas emissions, informing not only local hazard assessments but also global models of volcanic activity.

    Elsewhere, landmark geology research was highlighted in reports from ScienceDaily. On November fourteenth, researchers in Greenland used advanced fiber-optic technology to track how iceberg calving produces hidden underwater waves. These waves rapidly melt glacier faces and are reshaping our understanding of ice loss and rising sea levels. Meanwhile, scientists in Antarctica recently analyzed six million-year-old ice, providing the oldest direct record of Earth’s ancient atmosphere and climate. This discovery details dramatic cooling trends and offers vital clues to greenhouse gas variations over the ages.

    Seismic activity continues to be a pressing topic. ScienceDaily notes new research into the triggers of earthquakes in regions once thought stable, such as Utah. Studies reveal that long-dormant faults may reactivate due to natural processes and human activities. In the Pacific Northwest, seismic data show the oceanic plate breaking into fragments, forming microplates and suggesting a slow, stepwise collapse of the subduction zone. This could have implications for earthquake preparedness and hazard estimation throughout the American West.

    Internationally, geologists gathered in Zaragoza, Spain from November fifth to seventh for the fifth International Professional Geology Conference. Attendees discussed pressing challenges, including geological hazards, mineral sustainability, and professional development. This global knowledge exchange highlights the interconnected nature of geoscience, as the United States and other nations respond to evolving resource risks and natural hazards.

  • Revolutionizing Earth's Dynamics: Groundbreaking Geological Findings and Critical Mineral Insights

    Revolutionizing Earth's Dynamics: Groundbreaking Geological Findings and Critical Mineral Insights
    Nov 13 2025
    Recent developments in geology reveal significant findings about Earth's dynamic systems and critical mineral resources. The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory reported that Episode 36 of the ongoing Halemaʻumaʻu eruption at Kīlauea ended on November 9 after approximately five hours of high lava fountains. The south vent produced fountains reaching about 1,200 feet in height while the north vent reached approximately 750 feet. Following the eruption, scientists observed only minor glow from the south vent overnight, with both vents fuming the next morning. Sulfur dioxide emissions remained at background levels between 1,200 and 1,500 tonnes per day. Observatory analysis suggests the next eruptive episode is at least a week away, with more than one week likely before fountaining resumes based on the amount of deflation observed during this episode. The current eruption, which began on December 23, 2024, has been characterized by episodic lava fountaining not observed in any eruptions since the 1983 to 1986 episodic fountains at the beginning of the Puʻuʻōʻō eruption.

    On the national minerals front, the U.S. Geological Survey released an updated critical minerals list on November 6. Uranium has been reinstated to the list after being excluded from the 2022 version, bringing the total number of critical minerals to 60. This reinstatement reflects growing nuclear energy demands in the United States. Meanwhile, researchers have identified a significant issue with American resource management. Scientists discovered that the United States already mines all the critical minerals needed for energy, defense, and technology, yet most are being discarded as mine tailings. Minerals including cobalt, germanium, and rare earth elements are lost in massive amounts during mining operations.

    Additional research published in recent weeks revealed new insights into continental geology. Scientists discovered that continents do not merely split at their surfaces but also peel from below, feeding volcanic activity in oceans. Simulations demonstrate that slow mantle waves strip continental roots and push them deep into oceanic regions, explaining previously mysterious patterns of volcanic activity.

    International geological conferences are convening this month to address these discoveries and other pressing concerns. The 14th World Conference on Earth Science and Geology is taking place November 13 and 14 in Paris, France, bringing together geologists and earth scientists to discuss climate change, environmental science, and advanced technologies for addressing geological hazards. These converging developments underscore how Earth's geological systems continue to reshape our understanding of planetary processes while presenting both challenges and opportunities for resource management and hazard mitigation.
