This short movie provides event coverage of the May 15, 16 & 17, 2009 USGS Open House in Menlo Park, California. The movie is a peppy and fun presentation highlighting how USGS scientists shared their work with an eager public and tons of school kids. USGS employees Christy Ryan, Leslie Gordon, Liz Colvard and Dina Venezky describe the scope and significance of the event.

On June 4, 2009, conditions provided a rare view of active lava churning within Kīlauea Volcanos summit vent located in Halemaumau Crater. This video (actual speed) shows the surface of the circulating lava, which is about 100 meters (300 feet) below the crater floor, or 180 meters (590 feet) below the camera. As lava gushes across the opening, its surface is disrupted by waves, splashes, bursting gas bubbles, and spatters of molten rock. It is not known how long these conditions will continue. The lava surface could soon crust over or drop to a lower level—or it could keep going, as shown here, for days, weeks, or months.
For safety reasons, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park has closed access to the summit vent, which has erupted explosively numerous times since it opened in March 2008. However, the public can see spectacular views the vent—especially the orange glow it emits after dark—from an overlook at Jaggar Museum or via HVO Webcams (http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov/cams/).
Video was taken by Tim Orr, USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory geologist, on June 4, 2009.

USGS Scientist-in-Charge of Yellowstone Volcano Observatory, Jake Lowenstern, answers
the following questions to explain volcanic eruptions at Yellowstone: When was the last supereruption at Yellowstone?", "Have any eruptions occurred since the last supereruption?", "Is Yellowstone overdue for an eruption?", "What does the magma below indicate about a possible eruption?", "What else is possible?", and "Why didn't you think the Yellowstone Lake earthquake swarm would lead to an
eruption?"

USGS Scientist-in-Charge of Yellowstone Volcano Observatory, Jake Lowenstern, answers
the following questions to provide a tour of the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory: "What is YVO?", "How
do you monitor volcanic activity at Yellowstone?", "How are satellites used to study deformation?", "Do
you monitor geysers or any other aspect of the Park?", "Are earthquakes and ground deformation
common at Yellowstone?", "Why is YVO a relatively small group?", and "Where can I get more
information?"
