TL;DR: Careful historical observation and monitoring of Kīlauea enabled successful forecasting of hazardous events, and cyclic inflation, deflation, and eventual collapse of the summit was tied to lava eruption from lower East Rift Zone fissures.

TL;DR: The supply of magma to Kīlauea Volcano, Hawai'i, was thought to have been steady over the past decades as discussed by the authors, but instead, the supply from the mantle doubled in 2003-2007, implying that hotspots can provide varying amounts of lava over just a few years.

TL;DR: Swarms of high-frequency earthquakes that accompany otherwise silent slips on Kīlauea volcano, Hawaii are reported on, which could lead to a method for quantifying the increased hazard during slow-slip events, because triggered events have the potential to grow into destructive earthquakes.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used campaign Global Positioning System (GPS) measurements from 1990 to 1996 to calculate surface displacement rates on Kilauea Volcano, Hawaii, and found that the south flank of the volcano, which has generated several large earthquakes in the past 3 decades, is displacing at up to ;8 cm/yr to the south-southeast.

TL;DR: Kilauea's magmatic system is probably deeper and more extensive than previously thought; the summit and both rift zones may be underlain by a thick, near vertical dike-like magma system at a depth of 3 to 9 kilometers.
