ENVIRONMENT & CLIMATEA group of Hawaiian fishermen caught 200 pounds of tuna fish and turned them into poke bowls to feed local health care workers in Honolulu. The fishermen said their gesture was to show their gratitude to the medical frontliners doing their best in caring for patients afflicted with the coronavirus.
A new study reveals that Mauna Loa no longer holds the title as Earth's largest and hottest shield volcano but now goes to Pūhāhonu. The scientists hope that people will visit the unpopular area that holds what is now known as the world's biggest shield volcano in Hawaii.
To say that the series of eruptions ended with a bang in 2018 is an understatement. Upon the culmination of the eruptions in 2018, the lava lake inside the caldera began to drain and the lower part of the Eastern Rift Zone suddenly became active spewing out lava and producing new fissures which, unfortunately, flowed towards habited lands where it destroyed 700 homes and other buildings.
The Hilo Fish Company in Hawaii recalled tuna steaks from the three U.S. states after the test results indicated the probable Hepatitis A contamination.
LGBT in Hawaii vows to fights for their equal rights when it comes to fertility treatment. After paying $20,000, Seam Smith and his husband have found out that heterosexual couples do not pay as much as they did for a fertility treatment.
Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History and Michigan State University scientists analyzed fossil records and bones of Hawaiian Petrel to determine how human interference affecting their food chain. industrial fishing and other human activities are damaging their resources During the past 100 years.
A new-born baby in Hawaii with an unusually small head got infected with Zika virus, according to health officials in the USA. This is the country's first reported case to associate the virus and birth defects.
Earth's warming sea temperature due to Global Warming has its harmful effects on the reefs. Every so often, tropical countries, especially on the seaside would experience warmer than the normal temperature.
The best place to view space is from a locale far from the glaring lights of human habitation. And what better spot than the isolated Hawaiian islands, in the middle of the northern Pacific? Unfortunately, the residents of Hawaii abhor the idea of another telescope marring their sacred mountain. So they have banned together to bid the giant scope a hearty "Aloha!"
After a stunning increase in seismic activity an an apparent drop in the lava lake at the summit of Hawaii’s Kilauea Volcano within the national park, researchers and seismologists in Hawaii are concerned that pressure in the volcano is continuing to change—and are sounding what appears to be an indefinite alarm until more can be determined. In the last two days alone, researchers with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) have identified small earthquakes at the highest rate to date, setting a new record at one earthquake every couple of minutes. And with the seismic changes, researchers with the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory are hoping that a few changes can help save lives in the event that an eruption could occur.
It seems locals aren't the only ones upset about the construction of one of the world's largest telescopes near the summit of Mauna Kea, which is already home to not one but 13 large telescopes. The Thirty Meter Telescope will be one of the largest in the world when completed, but today, those opposed to the project received help from cyber protesters as they hacked the Thirty Meter Telescope website bringing it down for about two hours.
With the construction of the $1.4 billion dollar endeavor of the Thirty Meter Telescope beginning this week, news arrives from the Mauna Kea on the Big Island of Hawaii, as a dozen protestors were arrested for obstructing construction crews on their way to the summit. Astronomers anticipating the Thirty Meter Telescope believe that the largest telescope ever built will give us new insights never-before-seen into space, however, locals in Hawaii are not convinced that the $1.4 billion investment is worth compromising their lands.
A new telescope is about to be built that would help scientists to be able to see somewhere around 13 billion light years away into the universe and probably in its early years. But the construction of that telescope has been delayed due to snowfall.
