Sharing with you this evening, video from #MaunaLoa's NE Rift Zone. At ~11 am on Nov 29, 2022, the lava fountains were measured at 35-40 meters (115-148 ft) in height. The second video shows an ‘a‘ā lava flow several meters (yards) thick, moving to the northeast. #MaunaLoaErupts

Only a few days away from my #PhD defense and Mauna Loa is producing lava flows from fissure eruptions. Feels like a personal shout-out from Pele, goddess of fire. 😊

#HVO field crews are at Mauna Loa's NE Rift Zone to make observations and collect information that will be used to create lava flow maps and inform hazard analysis. Lava flows are not threatening downslope communities. #MaunaLoaErupts

Space Dynamics Laboratory, the company I work for, is launching two new satellites today at approximately 12:25 MDT. Watch live as they are transported to orbit via a SpaceX rocket. #SpaceX youtube.com/watch?v=KHt3Myim…
Why are there so many roadblocks in the way of my #PhD finish line? It feels like the universe wants me to fail...

Today's #dissertation goal: Make sure the word 'unprecedented' is not found a single time in my writing. In the last 12 months, everyone has heard that word enough to last a lifetime.
