AFTER DARK IN THE PARK September 5, 2023 | Don Swanson A LEGACY OF SCIENCE

AFTER DARK IN THE PARK ON TUESDAY FEATURES THE HAWAIIAN VOLCANO OBSERVATORY ON UĒKAHUNA: A LEGACY OF SCIENCE. The talk begins Sept. 5 at 7 p.m. at Kīlauea Visitor Center auditorium.

The invitation to the public event says, "Perched high on the rim of Uēkahuna since the late 1940s, the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory has been the hub of research and monitoring of Hawaiian volcanoes. The Reginald T. Okamura Building, constructed in 1985 and the heart of the observatory, was damaged beyond repair during the earthquakes of 2018. Join Don Swanson, who has a 55-year association with the observatory, as he takes us through the science conducted at this remarkable facility and the legacy being carried into the future."

Part of Hawai‘i Volcanoes’ ongoing After Dark in the Park programs and co-sponsored by the Friends of Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park. Free, but park entrance fees apply.
