How do we monitor volcanoes using earthquakes? [and sound?]

Scientists use a variety of techniques to evaluate and understand earthquake activity and what it can tell us about the volcanic processes occurring underground. In this presentation, USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory earthquake specialist Arthur Jolly will describe how earthquake monitoring at volcanoes has evolved over the past 30 years. Come learn about the different monitoring signals and techniques that earthquake specialists use worldwide to understand volcanic unrest and eruptions. We will look at past volcanic eruptions throughout the Pacific basin, including recent eruptions at Kīlauea and Mauna Loa.
