This page outlines the resarch of the Mineralogy, Volcanology, Geochemistry and Petrology Research G
The Mineralogy, Volcanology, Geochemistry and Petrology Group at Missouri State University interests include applying isotopes to conventional and novel topics in earth science and related fields. Our research centers on the behavior of magma in and on the Earth's crust as deduced from field relationships and the chemical analysis of rocks and minerals. Our work stands to further the understanding

Global Volcanism Program | Irruputuncu In the course of field work on volcanic rocks in the region, Anita Grunder observed a dark, vertical plume coming from the top of Irruputuncu at about 1000 on 26 November 1995. This dark plume lasted a few minutes, then returned to a white plume, and then again became dark and returned to white. The...

We're REOPENING on September 22 at 10am!!
Check out this map to see what roads and trails will be open on September 22. If it is not listed as open, it is CLOSED and considered dangerous and off limits.
Remember, Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park is a wild place. The dramatic landscape of Kīlauea is constantly being shaped by powerful and uncontrollable natural forces. RESPECT the dangers of the dynamic natural process happening now and stay out of closed areas.
Folks coming on re-opening weekend should expect lots of traffic, very limited parking, long lines, and large crowds throughout the park. And don't forget to bring 3-4 quarts of drinking water, there is no potable water in the park.
