À propos de cet audio

 Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii remains a focal point for geological monitoring as the United States Geological Survey reports that Episode 28 of the ongoing Halemaʻumaʻu eruption ended on July 9, 2025. Summit inflation resumed immediately after the eruption, indicating increased pressure beneath the volcano’s summit and suggesting another eruptive episode may begin between July 16 and 19. Low-level degassing and seismic tremor continue, with persistent hazards from volcanic gas emissions and windblown volcanic glass fragments, locally known as Pele’s hair. There is currently no significant activity observed along the East or Southwest Rift Zones of Kilauea, but monitoring remains heightened given the ongoing changes to summit dynamics according to USGS updates.

In the Cascade Range, Mount Rainier in Washington State is experiencing a notable seismic swarm that began early on July 8, 2025. According to the US Geological Survey and supported by visualizations from the Cascade Volcano Observatory, several small magnitude earthquakes have occurred beneath the volcano between July 8 and July 12. While these seismic events are being closely watched, the volcano alert level remains at normal and no increase in volcanic activity has been observed on the surface. These swarms are not uncommon for the area, but their occurrence always warrants careful tracking due to Mount Rainier’s history and proximity to populated regions.

Yellowstone National Park also remains a site of geological interest. The Yellowstone Caldera continues to show activity at background levels, with USGS reports detailing that 60 earthquakes were recorded in June, the largest being magnitude 2 point 7. Deformation measurements show the annual summer pause in long-term caldera subsidence started in June. Additionally, minor eruptions at Black Diamond Pool in Biscuit Basin and possible future activity at Steamboat Geyser are under observation, with two major geyser eruptions having occurred so far this year.

Beyond recent volcanic and seismic activity, geology-themed public events are taking place across the country. The Ozark Natural Science Center in Arkansas hosted a geology exploration hike along Bear Hollow Creek on July 5. Participants searched for fossils and learned about the ancient geologic forces shaping the Ozarks. Upcoming, the Bryce Canyon Geology Festival in Utah is set for July 18 and 19, highlighting the park’s unique geology through guided hikes, interactive exhibits, and expert presentations.

On the global stage, the International Union of Geological Sciences notes several major scientific conferences this month, including the International Astrobiology Conference in Iceland and the International Congress on Earth and Geological Sciences in Paris, both drawing attention from geoscientists worldwide as they discuss new research and emerging patterns in planetary and earth sciences.
