Hawaii Quake & Volcano Guide

Aloha!

This real-time earthquake & volcano monitoring app focuses on Hawaii Island’s three active volcanoes: Kilauea, the most active volcano in the world; Mauna Loa, the largest active volcano on Earth: Hualalai, perhaps the most mysterious volcano in Hawaii; the dormant volcano Mauna Kea & the possible next island Kamaehuakanaloa (Loihi)

Built for residents, researchers, educators, travelers, hikers, photographers, emergency planners, and anyone fascinated by Hawaii geology, Earthquakes Hawaii helps you move beyond headlines & see what's happening now.

Track the latest seismic activity with live USGS-based data:
- Live HVO cams for Kilauea, Mauna Loa, Mauna Kea, & Hawaii Volcanoes National Park
- Magnitude, depth, and location for each event
- Fast access to recent events across Hawaii Island & worldwide.

Big Island focus - 3 ways to explore the subsurface:
1. Cross-Section View
Vertical slices through the island show epicenters, hypocenters, & underground structures

2. Spinning Island View
Rotate slowly thru 360 view of Big Island & below to compare surface events, deeper quakes, & cross-sections from different angles.

3. 3D Point Cloud View
Explore using a fast (thanks to Apple Silicon) interactive 3D point cloud of earthquake activity below the island surface to see where events cluster in space and time

Visualization and analysis features:
- 3D globe with depth exaggeration and color-coded magnitude
- Adjustable time ranges including 24 hours, 7 days, and 30 days
- Large, resizable windows for close inspection on laptops & large displays. Perfect app to get the big picture of seismic & volcanic events on, around & below Big Island on big monitors
- Map view, search, useful stats, including counts, average magnitude, & max magnitude by time window
- Kilauea tilt data for additional eruption context
- Region filters for Hawaii, Big Island, Big Island plus Kamaehuakanaloa (Loihi), & worldwide activity

Custom Alerts:
A variety of free notifications can be set to help locals, researchers, photographers & volcano watchers stay aware of changing seismic & volcanic conditions. Swarm activity, tilt, lava flows, fountains, magnitude, depth & proximity, etc. offer clues to events.

Why people use Earthquakes Hawaii:
- Residents want fast local awareness
- Curious visitors want context before exploring the island
- Researchers & students want a clear vi
