Today we celebrated our graduates, Lichen and Raymond, who are also preparing to attend #AGU2025. We had a walk through of their posters with students and friends of the department. Stop by session V21C on Tuesday morning to see the cool science they’re working on with Kīlauea’s ongoing eruption.

Members of the department, a few students, and many our collaborators went up to see and/or participate in the episode 37 Kīlauea eruption response. Heather, a postdoc at HVO, shared this photo she took at the public viewing area. #Kilauea
