6/11/2018 Landon Noll!!!
6:07 PM Emily mooney? spell check getting everyone today
6:08 PM Ronald Moss? This is old stuff
6:09 PM Emily mooney ?@ronald its hystorical!...:) so much excitement for outsiders
6:11 PM Landon Noll ?Good morning, afternoon or evening depending on your time zone: this is your friendly secular astronomer just stopping by to say hi.
6:11 PM Lizard G. Pootis ?The activity can be seen on Google Maps now.
6:11 PM Landon Noll ?We are making process on a possible near-IR camera that might help at the summit for nighttime.
6:12 PM Emily mooney ?@landon noll hey... hows it goin lol im in est so afternoon
6:12 PM Roger Landis?hey Landon
6:12 PM PC Quake?hey Landon
6:12 PM bridgette darland?hi Landon
6:12 PM soapy smurf ?hello stepping in for a sec been quiet which is good
6:12 PM Emily mooney ?oooooo yaya @landon
6:12 PM Landon Noll ?did you see the cave-in on the left edge of Halema'uma'u?
6:12 PM Emily mooney ?i ment yay lol
6:13 PM soapy smurf ?when was that
6:13 PM Emily mooney ?definitely getting bigger
6:13 PM Landon Noll ?the surface near-IR source spot is now history .. went into the vent
6:14 PM Emily mooney ?o no...??????
6:15 PM Bentle Jen ?the near side rim isn't going to m,ove
6:16 PM Landon Noll ?it went in during the M5.3 at 07:43:54
6:16 PM PC Quake?ty Landon for info
6:16 PM Stormraven3? correct me if i'm wrong but that is also where the center of deflation is?
6:17 PM Landon Noll ?I'm not sure one can say exact where the deflation center is, as it involves a wider area
6:18 PM Stormraven3? i just went back to that pdf with the Interferogram from the European Space Agency’s Sentinel-1 satellite showing ground motion between May 11, 2018 and May 17, 2018
6:19 PM Stormraven3 ?it's somewhere on the USGS page
6:23 PM bluerockboulder ?Landon 07:43 time zone?
6:23 PM bluerockboulder ?Walnut Creek?
6:23 PM Bryan Rae ?has a bit of the crater wall collapsed ?
6:24 PM Bo Guss ?I think I saw the camera move when that 7 hit
6:27 PM Landon Noll? 07:43:54 Hawaii time == 14:43:54 UTC
6:28 PM Stormraven3? @Landon Noll was that near-IR spot located on one of the faults that crack open now or was it a wider area?
6:28 PM bluerockboulder? 10 hours diff.
6:29 PM Landon Noll ?yes
6:29 PM bluerockboulder? anyway, the one today!!!?
6:30 PM MrBoljangles? USGS Status Update of Kilauea Volcano - June 11, 2018
6:30 PM Stormraven3 ?i still have a hard time imagining particles/photons go through solid rock - although matter is like 99.9% free space to pass through xD
6:30 PM MrBoljangles ?on youtube
6:30 PM bluerockboulder? Think Fibre Optics
6:32 PM bluerockboulder? This magma is 48% SiO2.
6:32 PM Mike Ross? good morning all... just saying hi, working at the mo but will be looking in again soon
6:32 PM bluerockboulder ?and I think Landon mentioned it appears as veins in higher concentrations.
6:32 PM Stormraven3 ?hi Mike :)
6:32 PM PC Quake?hey Mike
6:30 PM bluerockboulder? Think Fibre Optics
6:32 PM bluerockboulder? This magma is 48% SiO2.
6:32 PM Mike Ross?good morning all... just saying hi, working at the mo but will be looking in again soon
6:32 PM bluerockboulder ?and I think Landon mentioned it appears as veins in higher concentrations.
6:32 PM Stormraven3? hi Mike :)
6:32 PM PC Quake?hey Mike
6:33 PM Mike Ross ?@Doomchaser1 I advise against comparing St. Helens and Kilauea! Completely different tectonic situation, completely different magma types.
6:34 PM PC Quake ?M3.5 JUJUY, ARGENTINA, Epicenter at 23.20°S 66.82°W and depth of 234km
6:34 PM Stormraven 3?kind of makes sense but also makes me wonder if those veins are the reason for the faults or the faults are the reason for the veins ;P
6:34 PM Roger Landis ?hey Mike
6:34 PM bluerockboulder ?interesting question, I would imagine the formation of the veins follows existing cracks.
6:35 PM Landon Noll ?silicon light pipes - photos bounce along and leak out - it only takes a few and the chamber is a source of many ??
6:35 PM Landon Noll? yes, existing cracks help act as wave guides
6:36 PM bluerockboulder ?Solid rock is not so solid as we imagine. It's broken, it's bent, it's twisted and it's ductile.
6:36 PM bluerockboulder? Everywhere.
6:36 PM Landon Noll ?St. Helens and Kilauea - was at both eruptions - very very different conditions
6:37 PM Landon Noll? yes, bluerockboulder
6:37 PM Stormraven3? well yea, especially in a caldera thatis essentially collapsed already xD
6:37 PM Tara Budau ?hello everyone????
6:37 PM Rosebud ?Hello everyone. I'm just checking in. Did the volcano erupt overnight?
6:38 PM Landon Noll? the 1790 event would have been fascinating to monitor .. but alas we can only hypothesize
6:38 PM Stormraven3 ?any insights on how those silicon light pipes were formed? magmatic activity? or silica-rich steam/water?
6:38 PM Mike Ross ?@Landon Noll https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.c...
6:39 PM Landon Noll ?I don't understand "Did the volcano erupt overnight" .. it has been erupting for 35+ years, so yes
6:39 PM Landon Noll? silicon light pipes probably from how the lava cooled and crystals formed
6:40 PM Stormraven3? ok thanks :)
6:40 PM Symmsym?wb Mr. Noll
6:40 PM Landon Noll? Larry Mastin did good work
6:41 PM Ole Nielsen ?looks dead to me
6:41 PM bluerockboulder ?@Rosebud Yes, at 4:43 HST this morning.
6:44 PM Rosebud? Landon Noll-- Do you have any idea how all this steam, the SO2 and the lava that is coming out of the volcano effecting our atmosphere?
6:44 PM Ben Lop? good afternoon.. top corner missing ..it was there yesterday
6:44 PM Ben Lop? ground giving in quick ?
6:45 PM Greg Horne ?@Ole Nielsen lava is coming out the fissures imo.
6:45 PM StoneAgeRevolt ?Hey Landon, do you know the time frame for the night vision camera? Is there a chance it will be online tonight?
6:45 PM Ben Lop ?what fissure # is that
6:46 PM dariddik ?top left? #8
6:46 PM Ole Nielsen? 8 looks dead too
6:46 PM Landon Noll? Rosebud .. while the area impact of vog (volcanic smog), especially in the trade wind direction, impacts vegetation and can have an adverse impact on certain sensitive groups of people with medical
6:46 PM dariddik? correction I meant right offcourse
6:46 PM PC Quake ??Ger Potsdam Earthquake Center?2018-06-11 18:34:50, at Afghanistan-Tajikistan Border Region(Lat:36.34°N Lon:71.36°E), M4.4, Depth:105.0km
6:46 PM Landon Noll? complications, the overall addition to Earth's atmosphere is very very small
6:47 PM bluerockboulder ?Mr. Noll. There is a vigorous ongoing venting of steam from near Fissure #8 that we can see. Aside where that is being emitted exactly, what is the source of the water.. groundwater?
6:47 PM Rosebud? Landon you're right but last night people thought it might blow off a lot more steam. Did it or has it been largely quiet since?
6:47 PM Ben Lop ?Ger Potsdam Earthquake Center?2018-06-11 18:34:50, at Afghanistan-Tajikistan Border Region(Lat:36.34°N Lon:71.36°E), M4.4, Depth:105.0km DEEP!
6:48 PM Ben Lop ?it sounds deep
6:48 PM Landon Noll? The total mass of Earth’s atmosphere is about 5.5 quadrillion tons (about 1 millionth of Earth's total mass). Adding a few thousand tonnes a day for 35 years ...
6:48 PM Michelle Gutierrez ?[message deleted]
6:48 PM Rosebud ?So I was off by one and one half hours. Darn. I missed it.
6:48 PM Greg Horne ?@Landon Noll what about effects on the local environment?
6:49 PM PC Quake ?!rules
6:49 PM Landon Noll ?it is about 1 part in 86.1 million for the entire output of the entire 35 year history of this on-going eruption
6:49 PM Nightbot ?English is preferred/ NO Ads, Subs, Exessive caps, Political/religious talk unless in context. Links allowed with admin approval. Try keep discussion to Volcano/EQ chat.
6:51 PM Rosebud? Bluerockboulder Wow! A huge chunk on the left is gone. How high was the plume? Any video of it?
6:51 PM Landon Noll? the acid desert that lies to between the summit+Puu Oo and the coast, is a dry zone that has been impacted by the years of volcanic gas. The ground has elevated acid levels making it hard for
6:51 PM bluerockboulder ?It was before sunrise. Not even twilight.. Dangit!
6:52 PM Alexander Kräft ?wake up ?
6:52 PM Michelle Gutierrez ?pk Shalom it's my way of saying Hi and peace to u. May U have a blessed night.
6:52 PM Susan Troutman?I wasn't kidding when I said they may have to switch to the wide angle view soon.
6:52 PM Landon Noll?plants to grow.
6:52 PM Tot Tot?I understood Michelle
6:52 PM Susan Troutman?Is was very green between Fissure 8 and the camera 3 weeks ago
6:52 PM Jeremy R.?Wow I just did come on and that left side gave way! ??
6:53 PM Greg Horne?@Landon Noll someone was saying yesterday it was starting to effect the weather in Hawaii. I found this hard to believe. Have you heard anything on this?
6:53 PM Jeremy R.?I don’t want to sound stupid but that’s what it seems like happened
6:54 PM PC Quake ??null?2018-06-11 18:40:27, at 33 km to S of SALINA CRUZ, OAXACA(Lat:15.88°N Lon:95.18°W), M4.1, Depth:9.0km
6:54 PM Michelle Gutierrez? alao it's a feature already set up on my only internet access i have that it automatically starts out on caps and i forget nany times. But it was the only time i ever wrote to get slammed so fast. np
6:54 PM Michelle Gutierrez? ty Tot Tot
6:54 PM Symmsym? left side probably went with the 5.3 early this morning @Jeremy R. that's my guess
6:54 PM PC Quake?no caps in chat tho
6:54 PM Rosebud ?Blur rock boulder. Dangit! is right. No video. I bet you heard it though.
6:55 PM bluerockboulder ?@Greg Horne If you leave the hot shower running, it will rain in your bathroom.
6:55 PM Landon Noll? I also find that statement to lack data. Yes, someone with asthma who is being exposed to regular gas streams, say living in the town of Volcano, might have an accumulated exposure that would impact
6:55 PM Greg Horne ?@bluerockboulder yes, but if it has been raining since 1984?
6:56 PM Greg Horne? Thank you Sir.
6:56 PM Landon Noll? their health. Some people had to leave the area due to the vog, but overall weather in the island chain remains consistent with historic patterns and trends.
6:57 PM Michelle Gutierrez ?none at all?? wow that's the strictest I've seen yet. holy cow. as i said most the time i can't control it when i first type. and i always start that way foe a pleasant hi greeting. it's ok i just
6:58 PM Jeremy R.? How good would the volcanic soil be for my garden as opposed to the sawdust, grass clippings, and leaves I normally put on my garden?
6:58 PM Rosebud ?Landon Noll--Do you think that all that gas will affect our atmosphere and make it colder on the west coast of the U.S.? Btw thank you for answering our questions.
6:59 PM Michelle Gutierrez ?won't talk in this chat. Btw just fyi yes the volcano was naking it's weather. they even had a fire tornado. i used to be a fire fighter emt. nite
6:59 PM Greg Horne ?@Michelle Gutierrez there are rules here. Please follow them.
7:01 PM Mike Ross? @Michelle Gutierrez yes the intense convection from lava flows can create weather - there's a cloud type called 'pyrocumulus' - google it!
7:01 PM Landon Noll? I would seriously doubt being able to measure the impact. Again, for say SO2, the entire 35 year output of this on-going eruption is about 1 part in 100 million. Too small to measure.
7:01 PM Robyn Rollo ?Hi again , every time i go to sleep , a couple of hours later , "she speaks" and i am not listening , so sad for me .
7:02 PM Stormraven 3?there is also a huge difference in effect depending on the height the SO2 reaches in the atmosphere
7:02 PM Mike Ross ?@Rosebud to affect weather a long way away you really need a very strong explosive eruption to inject SO2 beyond the tropopause and into the jetstreams
7:02 PM Landon Noll? a lava flow can impact local weather conditions, thermal output plus outgassing, but not the climate
7:03 PM Greg Horne ?@Robyn Rollo Pele does what Pele wants to do. They do seem to be getting better at predicting though.
7:03 PM Mike Ross ?the very rare exception is where you have a truly *huge* lava eruption - like Laki - where the SO2 production was so enormous it affected much of northwest Europe
7:03 PM Roger Landis ?everything being sucked back in the crater again
7:04 PM Landon Noll ?would love to get a gas meter down there .. sigh
7:05 PM Mike Ross?@Landon Noll well I presume they're using COSPEC to measure the total gas output
7:05 PM Joshuah Rainstar ?its gotta reach 50k feet to go worldwide, and that's unikely for shield volcanos.. although if what we know about the composition of the lava(which prevents strato in hawaii) suddenly changes...
7:06 PM Landon Noll? Lost the Namakanipaio Campground meter
7:06 PM Joshuah Rainstar? I wonder if you could "poison" a magma supply by injecting a mineral into it 10 or 15 miles down and by doing so effect the product.. maybe even deliberately use it to create engineered compunds!
7:06 PM Mike Ross?brb
7:07 PM MrBoljangles ?altering the way the earth works is not recommended
7:07 PM elliott boyd? don't play god
7:08 PM elliott boyd? evening all
7:08 PM Jeremy R.? That would be bad for humanity
7:08 PM Landon Noll ?Looks like Namakanipaio Campground air quality meter went offline about midnight HST today
7:08 PM T Yooo? https://youtu.be/ROKrhLEPAFg
7:08 PM Mike Sibert ?If the plates under Ocean move the right way. Hawail good
7:08 PM T Yooo? usgs update^^^^
7:08 PM Joshuah Rainstar ?things which are bad for humanity's present course may, in fact, be good for our longterm survival as a species...?
7:09 PM Joshuah Rainstar? Kilauea seems really quiet today.
7:10 PM MrBoljangles? earths long term survival is good for humanity long term survival
7:10 PM Rosebud? Anyone know how this event will affect marine life in the water? The tidepools are gone. ?? How long will it take to come back?
7:10 PM Greg Horne ?@Joshuah Rainstar yes. No like quiet!
7:10 PM FilthyTurban? was the camera moved or did it get bigger?
7:11 PM T Yooo?lol
7:11 PM Alexander Kräft? What do you think is going to happen in the next few days?
7:11 PM FilthyTurban ?never
7:11 PM Landon Noll ?How long will it take to come back? The tidepools are gone. Those won't come back. Someday there may be new zones offshore depending on slope conditions.
7:11 PM FilthyTurban? flies are lucky.
7:12 PM Donny Lafferty? so whats going on
7:12 PM elliott boyd? the plates changed direction 43 million years ago
7:12 PM Donny Lafferty? anything new
7:12 PM bluerockboulder? I think the hotspot took a left turn. ??
7:13 PM Landon Noll ?Well we are going to try and restore the link to the Thurston lava tube gas meter. Not sure what is wrong as it has been offline for a while. Will catch folks later.
7:13 PM Greg Horne ?@Donny Lafferty looks like a chunk of the crater on the left side decided to take a dive.
7:13 PM Vaping Smurf? Good evening. Did the left section finally drop?
7:14 PM Bentle Jen?y outubecom/watch?v=9Qg_iaPb07s brighter image of crater
7:14 PM elliott boyd? bye landon thx for all the info again
7:14 PM Robyn Rollo ?Has it been this quiet before , each time i have been watching there much more activity on graph's ?
7:14 PM Susan Troutman ?@Landon Noll Thanks for dropping by
7:14 PM T Yooo? bye landon be safe thank you for stopping by
7:14 PM Greg Horne ?Thanks @Landon Noll gb.
7:14 PM Montana Frank? thanks landon
7:15 PM Landon Noll? BCNU later
7:16 PM PC Quake? bye Landon ty
7:17 PM james brown ?hey all
7:17 PM bluerockboulder? @Bentle Jen Far better image available right here on this page, link below is volcanoyt(.)com/ds2.html
7:17 PM james brown? hows the seismic at kilauea?
7:17 PM T Yooo ?https://youtu.be/eJvDwyFd3-4
7:17 PM PC Quake? hey T Yooo
7:17 PM Greg Horne ?Hello @james brown the great singer!
7:18 PM james brown ?yes im afraid im dead
7:18 PM Rosebud ?Landon Noll thank you so much for answering our questions. you are so kind.
7:18 PM james brown ?but i live in my music
