In the past week, geology news in the United States has focused on active volcano monitoring, public engagement with geological history, and continued research into critical mineral and energy resources. The U.S. Geological Survey reported that activity at Kilauea volcano in Hawaii is closely watched after the end of its most recent eruptive episode on June 29. While lava fountaining has paused, summit inflation and persistent low-level seismic tremor suggest another eruption could occur between July 7 and 11, with July 7 to 9 being the most likely. Overnight webcam images continue to capture incandescent glow and intermittent minor lava spattering at the summit’s north vent. The USGS has stated that this window is subject to change based on ongoing summit inflation and seismic data, reflecting the dynamic nature of volcanic monitoring in Hawaii.

Meanwhile, the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory released its monthly update noting that volcanic activity in Yellowstone remains at background levels. Sixty earthquakes were recorded in June, the largest reaching magnitude 2 point 7. Minor hydrothermal eruptions continue to be observed, with a small eruption from Black Diamond Pool in Biscuit Basin captured by webcam on June 12. The report also indicates the beginning of the annual summer pause in long-term caldera subsidence, a regular pattern of seasonal deformation. Additionally, the Steamboat Geyser has had minor eruptions, potentially signaling a major eruption in the near future, following two major eruptions earlier this year.

Geology is also engaging the public, as seen in the Ozark Exploration event held on July 5 in Huntsville, Arkansas. Attendees hiked Bear Hollow Creek, searching for fossils and learning about how geologic forces shaped the Ozarks landscape. Such educational events highlight the value of geology in understanding the ancient history beneath our feet and encourage hands-on exploration.

Beyond the United States, the international geoscience community gathered for major conferences like the European Current Research on Fluid and Melt Inclusions in Turin, Italy, and the International Congress on Earth and Geological Sciences scheduled for later in July in Paris, France. These events foster global collaboration on topics ranging from volcanic activity to sustainable mineral resource management.

The recent focus in U.S. geology highlights a pattern of constant monitoring of volcanic and seismic activity, expanded geological education for the public, and international cooperation on research. These efforts contribute to both hazard preparedness and a broader appreciation of Earth’s dynamic systems, illustrating geology’s role from local landscapes to global scientific discussions.
