She is eating all the lands you all foolishly desecrate by your ethnocidal murder of culture in renaming these areas arrogantly and for capitalist exploitation. The names have locked in them exactly the danger the farce of land rezoning for residential sale hides in their bunk assessments for rezoning. And yet you still ignore the fact they are being destroyed these areas exactly. Your words and arrogance and lawlessness in negligent rezoning is catching up to you all. #kahoikemaiakeakua
“She already reclaimed Kalapana State Park back in 1990 and may well decide to perform substantial makeovers to Lava Tree and/or MacKenzie,” state Parks Division Administrator Curt Cottrell said in a written statement.

As a scientist of anthropology we follow the same prudent scientific process required to have our work be scientific at all. Like objective assessment and acknowledgement of all factors and possible conclusions. The factors used as evidence for this overly confident conclusion are the same factors that lead to the process that ends in violent explosion (ie where assumed "less" activity is really a blockage that leads to pressurized magma and other indicators pop up given time...- earthquakes, rock falls etc.). At the very least, even if this guess is true, this scientist has failed to observe all the possibilities. Being that it is a pretty well known fact among scientists that seemingly less activity could indicate the opposite-a process beginning, leading to a forthcoming violent eruption instead, the so-called scientist neglected to include a longer time for observation to rule the possibility of explosion out. So I have to ask and propose a reason and this reason is one and the same as the reason why land unethically ome-dimensionally assessed (and therefore breaking/circumventing pertinent land rezoning laws and other illegal depravations) in so-called and renamed Leilani, so-called Green Lake, so-rename/"ethnocided" "Vacation Land" etc. and that reason is and was capitalist exploitation. In my professional opinion this is pseudoscience. Shameful and not science at all. #pseudoscience for the purpose of mitigating the State's perceived need and total injury/fallout of the current flow & resident home destruction. This kind of culture and practice ruins and risks lives. Hawaii residents must act. This is the status quo one-dimensional, biased, non-fact producing, spin-doctored for fear of profit loss, of Hawaii. No other possibilities therefore this conclusion is NOT one that we can call scientific.

HOW MAUNA LOA WENT FROM ADVISORY ALERT TO NORMAL is explained in Volcano Watch this week, written by U.S. Geological Survey’s Hawaiian Volcano Observatory scien...tists and colleagues:
For more than six months, earthquakes at Mauna Loa have diminished and deformation has slowed, indicating that the volcano is no longer at an elevated level of unrest. Yesterday, June 21, HVO lowered the alert level from Advisory to Normal, and lowered the color code from Yellow to Green. This means Mauna Loa is now considered to be at a normal, background level of activity. More information about alert levels is available at volcanoes.usgs.gov/vhp/about_alerts.html.
The previous alert level and color code were raised three years ago, in response to an increasing trend in earthquakes and ground deformation. Beginning in 2013, earthquakes became more frequent at Mauna Loa and were clustered mostly in the uppermost Southwest Rift Zone, summit area, and west flank. By mid-2014, continuously recording GPS stations and satellite interferometry (InSAR) were showing outward motion of the volcano – an indication that magma was filling the shallow reservoirs beneath the caldera and upper Southwest Rift Zone.
For the next several years, HVO seismic stations continued to record variable, but overall elevated, rates of shallow, small-magnitude earthquakes beneath Mauna Loa's summit, upper Southwest Rift Zone, and west flank. During that same time period, ground deformation was consistent with input of magma into the volcano's shallow magma storage system.
When it became clear that the heightened level of activity was persisting, HVO raised the alert level and color code of Mauna Loa to Advisory/Yellow in September 2015. It was noted at the time that the increase in alert level did not mean that an eruption was imminent or that progression to an eruption was certain. Indeed, this episode of unrest lasted several years without progressing to an eruption, similar to a period of unrest from 2004 to 2009.
Starting in late 2017 and continuing to present, seismicity and deformation rates have declined to levels observed before 2014. Given the months-long decrease in activity, HVO lowered Mauna Loa from Advisory/Yellow to Normal/Green.
Declaring the end of unrest is often difficult. Activity can wax and wane at volcanoes, and observatories make an effort not to switch between advisory levels without careful consideration of data trends. Periods of unrest that do not lead to an eruption are fairly common at Mauna Loa. Between 2004 and 2009, for example, the volcano went through a period of increased activity that eventually slowed. Mauna Loa may again start to show signs of unrest, at which point HVO may raise the alert and color code levels again.
Scientists expect that future eruptions at Mauna Loa will be preceded by increases in seismicity and deformation as magma makes its way to the surface to erupt. Changes in technology and experience gained in monitoring Kīlauea have resulted in dramatic improvements in the monitoring network since the most recent eruption of Mauna Loa in 1984. These include enhanced seismic instrumentation, a dense GPS network, and the use of space-based techniques such as InSAR. This allows HVO to track the small signs of unrest in ways not possible in the past. If anything were to happen at Mauna Loa, HVO scientists would know as soon as possible, through daily checks of geophysical data and automated alarms, despite having their current focus mainly on the eruptions at Kīlauea.
Many people have wondered what affect the current activity at Kīlauea has had on neighboring Mauna Loa. The M6.9 earthquake on May 4 was caused by slip of the south flank of Kīlauea toward the ocean. This large earthquake pulled the ground surface all over the island of Hawaiʻi, including Mauna Loa, slightly to the southeast, with areas closest to the earthquake epicenter moving the most. Further, the rapid deflation of magma reservoirs beneath Kīlauea’s summit is currently pulling the ground towards that area and this slow motion is evident at GPS stations on Mauna Loa, especially on its southeast flank. None of the activity on Kīlauea has had any discernible effect on Mauna Loa’s magmatic system.
Given Mauna Loa’s active past, residents should still be prepared for when Mauna Loa does erupt next. Information for readying our island community for whatever Mauna Loa has in store can be found at volcanoes.usgs.gov/vhp/

What an amazing idea! Nature is as alive as humans so why shouldn’t it have the same rights?
