The magma intrusion in and southwest of the Big Island volcano’s summit appears to have slowed and seismicity in the same area has quieted significantly since Friday.
Steady rates of quakes have continued in an area south of the Big Island volcano’s caldera since Aug. 22 and recent tiltmeter data suggest the area is inflating.
Elevated seismicity decreased following the swarms and remains steady as of the morning of Aug. 16, but the activity is still elevated compared to the previous week.
