  • Unearthing America's Geological Wonders: Hydrogen Exploration, Seismic Shifts, and Volcanic Spectacles

    Unearthing America's Geological Wonders: Hydrogen Exploration, Seismic Shifts, and Volcanic Spectacles
    2025/07/16
    A wave of impactful geology news has shaped the past week across the United States, highlighting both scientific discovery and ongoing natural hazards. The US Geological Survey made headlines by releasing the first-ever map showing the potential for naturally occurring geologic hydrogen across the contiguous United States. This map identifies several prime regions that may contain significant underground hydrogen resources, such as a large area in the mid-continent stretching through Kansas, Iowa, Minnesota, and Michigan, as well as strong potential along the California coast, in the Four Corners region encompassing Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah, and along the eastern seaboard. For many years, experts believed naturally occurring hydrogen did not accumulate in sufficient quantities for energy use, but this new map challenges that assumption and opens exploring new directions in energy resource development. According to the US Geological Survey, if even a fraction of the estimated recoverable hydrogen is confirmed, the energy content could rival or exceed that of global proven natural gas reserves.

    Earthquake activity remains a focal point, especially in Alaska, where the largest tremor recorded in the past twenty-four hours reached magnitude 5.4 roughly thirty-six miles east of Atka, in the Aleutians West Census Area. Although considered moderate in size, an earthquake of this magnitude is a reminder of the seismic risks faced by communities along the seismically active Aleutian chain.

    Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano also remains in the geological spotlight. According to the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, the recent episode of eruptions at Halemaʻumaʻu crater concluded on July 9. Summit inflation picked up immediately after, accompanied by persistent low-level degassing and seismic tremor. Volcanologists indicate that these signs point to another eruptive phase likely to begin sometime between July 16 and 19. Hazards in the area continue to include volcanic gas emissions and windblown volcanic glass, emphasizing the need for ongoing monitoring and public awareness.

    Beyond immediate hazards and potential resources, long-term geologic processes are being re-examined. A recent NASA study reported by Smithsonian Magazine shows that regions across California, including major cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, and the Central Valley, are experiencing substantial ground subsidence due to groundwater extraction, landslides, and sediment compaction. This land sinking, or subsidence, will likely worsen the effects of sea-level rise in already vulnerable coastal areas.

    Public engagement with geology continues through events like the upcoming Bryce Canyon Geology Festival, scheduled for July 18 and 19 in Utah, where visitors can interact with scientists and learn directly about the forces shaping the landscape. From frontier hydrogen exploration to the ongoing dance of volcanic and seismic activity and the subtle yet profound shifts of landscapes, the science of geology is revealing a dynamic and ever-changing American terrain.

  • "Kilauea Volcano Simmers, Rainier Shakes, and Yellowstone Stays Active: Geologic Hotspots Across the US"

    "Kilauea Volcano Simmers, Rainier Shakes, and Yellowstone Stays Active: Geologic Hotspots Across the US"
    2025/07/12
    Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii remains a focal point for geological monitoring as the United States Geological Survey reports that Episode 28 of the ongoing Halemaʻumaʻu eruption ended on July 9, 2025. Summit inflation resumed immediately after the eruption, indicating increased pressure beneath the volcano’s summit and suggesting another eruptive episode may begin between July 16 and 19. Low-level degassing and seismic tremor continue, with persistent hazards from volcanic gas emissions and windblown volcanic glass fragments, locally known as Pele’s hair. There is currently no significant activity observed along the East or Southwest Rift Zones of Kilauea, but monitoring remains heightened given the ongoing changes to summit dynamics according to USGS updates.

    In the Cascade Range, Mount Rainier in Washington State is experiencing a notable seismic swarm that began early on July 8, 2025. According to the US Geological Survey and supported by visualizations from the Cascade Volcano Observatory, several small magnitude earthquakes have occurred beneath the volcano between July 8 and July 12. While these seismic events are being closely watched, the volcano alert level remains at normal and no increase in volcanic activity has been observed on the surface. These swarms are not uncommon for the area, but their occurrence always warrants careful tracking due to Mount Rainier’s history and proximity to populated regions.

    Yellowstone National Park also remains a site of geological interest. The Yellowstone Caldera continues to show activity at background levels, with USGS reports detailing that 60 earthquakes were recorded in June, the largest being magnitude 2 point 7. Deformation measurements show the annual summer pause in long-term caldera subsidence started in June. Additionally, minor eruptions at Black Diamond Pool in Biscuit Basin and possible future activity at Steamboat Geyser are under observation, with two major geyser eruptions having occurred so far this year.

    Beyond recent volcanic and seismic activity, geology-themed public events are taking place across the country. The Ozark Natural Science Center in Arkansas hosted a geology exploration hike along Bear Hollow Creek on July 5. Participants searched for fossils and learned about the ancient geologic forces shaping the Ozarks. Upcoming, the Bryce Canyon Geology Festival in Utah is set for July 18 and 19, highlighting the park’s unique geology through guided hikes, interactive exhibits, and expert presentations.

    On the global stage, the International Union of Geological Sciences notes several major scientific conferences this month, including the International Astrobiology Conference in Iceland and the International Congress on Earth and Geological Sciences in Paris, both drawing attention from geoscientists worldwide as they discuss new research and emerging patterns in planetary and earth sciences.

  • "Seismic Shifts and Geologic Discoveries: A Dynamic Landscape Across the United States"

    "Seismic Shifts and Geologic Discoveries: A Dynamic Landscape Across the United States"
    2025/07/09
    Recent geology news across the United States reveals a landscape both dynamic and educational, underscored by fresh seismic activity, public events, and new scientific assessments. In the Pacific Northwest, monitoring stations detected a notable earthquake swarm beneath Mount Rainier in Washington beginning on July eighth. According to the United States Geological Survey, these were small-magnitude quakes, but their clustered occurrence has drawn attention to the ongoing seismic processes beneath one of the country’s most iconic volcanoes. Although current risk remains low, the activity serves as a reminder of the region’s geologic volatility and the importance of continued monitoring.

    Further south, Yellowstone remains under careful observation. The Yellowstone Volcano Observatory reported that caldera activity is at normal background levels. In June, sixty minor earthquakes were located in the region, with the largest registering a magnitude of two point seven. Ground deformation data suggest the annual seasonal pause in caldera subsidence began last month. Notably, there was another small hydrothermal eruption at Black Diamond Pool in Biscuit Basin in mid-June, captured by a recently installed webcam. Such eruptions, while minor, provide valuable insight into the complex hydrothermal dynamics of this supervolcano. Steamboat Geyser continues its erratic activity, with two major eruptions already recorded in this calendar year, raising interest about a possible larger event in the coming weeks.

    Elsewhere in the United States, geologic events are sparking curiosity and community engagement. In the Ozarks of Arkansas, recent exploration events have combined science education with hands-on experiences. A July hike at Bear Hollow Creek led participants through fossil hunting and interactive lessons on how ancient seas shaped today’s landscapes. These outreach activities are nurturing a new appreciation for the region’s geologic past and connecting people of all ages with the tangible evidence of plate tectonics and mineral cycles.

    Meanwhile, scientists from the United States Geological Survey have released a new assessment of the Mowry Composite Total Petroleum System, spanning southwestern Wyoming, northwestern Colorado, and parts of Utah. This assessment focuses on sedimentary deposits from a prehistoric ocean, advancing our understanding of the area’s fossil fuel potential and its geologic history.

    Looking globally, major geological conferences in Europe, such as the International Congress on Earth and Geological Sciences in Paris later this month and recent volcanic research meetings in Switzerland, are fostering international collaboration and knowledge sharing. These events reflect the broader trend of integrating new technology and cross-disciplinary data to interpret our planet’s past and prepare for future hazards. Overall, recent geology news in the United States highlights a blend of scientific vigilance, educational outreach, and global cooperation that drives both public understanding and ongoing research.
