Abstract
Mid‐2007 was a time of intense activity at Kilauea Volcano, Hawaii (see Figure 1). In June, the long‐lived Pu'u 'Ō'ō—Kupaianaha eruption, a dual‐vent system along the east rift zone (ERZ) that has been erupting since 1983 [Heliker et al., 2003], paused due to the outbreak of a new vent farther up the rift (see Figure 2). The Pu'u 'Ō'ō vent collapsed following that activity, and the resulting reorganization of the magma plumbing system led to the formation of a second new eruptive vent 2 kilometers downrift of Pu'u 'Ō'ō.
These events were well documented by geological, geophysical, and geochemical monitoring. This article summarizes results from these monitoring efforts and interprets the changes that have occurred at Kilauea since June 2007.
