UAS video of the 2018 summit eruption of Kīlauea Volcano—August 1-31, 2018

Metadata Updated: July 6, 2024

This dataset contains Unoccupied Aircraft Systems (UAS) footage from the 2018 summit collapse of Kīlauea Volcano, Island of Hawai‘i. The intrusion of magma into Kīlauea’s lower East Rift Zone triggered draining of the summit lava lake and magma withdrawal from the shallow reservoir. This resulted in 62 subsequent collapse events at the summit between May and early-August 2018. Each collapse event released energy equivalent to a magnitude-5.3 earthquake. The total collapse volume was about 0.8 km^3, with subsidence of more than 500 m in some places. There are 73 UAS videos in this publication, recorded from May 19 to September 5, which have been separated into subpages by month. Sub-pages for each month also contain a ReadMe text file with information pertaining to the videos, including flight end time, video duration, take off/landing location, keywords, and aircraft name. UAS flights were conducted with permission and in coordination with Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park. UAS footage from the 2018 eruption of Kīlauea Volcano’s lower East Rift Zone is also available [https://www.sciencebase.gov/catalog/item/5ea8b45482cefae35a1faf94].
