| Abstract | Mauna Loa Volcano in Hawai’i is one of the largest active volcanoes on Earth. The volcano showed clear signs of unrest from 2014, leading up to its November 2022 eruption. The long duration of activity gives scientists a chance to study the causes of earthquakes and ground movement in a complex volcano that has multiple magma chambers and rift zones. Researchers will use satellite data (InSAR) to detect ground changes linked to volcanic unrest. This research will use studies of earthquake patter |
