When the Kilauea volcano erupted last year, 10,000 persons were displaced or threatened, 700 homes were buried in lava, and Hawaii’s big island grew by 800 acres. If that piques your interest, reporter Mike Lipsitz tell us of an opportunity to hear more from an expert on the subject…
Dr. Richard Hazlett will present an overview of the largest eruption of Kilauea volcano on the Island of Hawaii in 200 years. Geologists tracked the unfolding activity with GPS receivers, seismometers, drones, infrasound and other technologies and they’ll still be talking about the historically significant eruption a century from now. Hazlett is a volcanologist, artist, environmentalist and academician who taught for 28 years at Pomona College and he continues to play a role monitoring and recording at Kilauea. Presented by the Hi-Desert Nature Museum in the Yucca Valley Community Center Complex on Thursday, March 28 at noon, admission is $5 or free for museum members and sponsors. Beverages will be served.
