Because of the lapse in appropriations caused by the partial shutdown of the federal government, Hawaiian Volcano Observatory scientists are unable to present public lectures as planned during Volcano Awareness Month.
Please note the following changes:
• An After Dark in the Park presentation Jan. 15 with Matt Patrick at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and Ingrid Johanson’s talk at Hawaii Preparatory Academy in Waimea were canceled.
• Frank Trusdell’s talk at Kealakehe High School in Kona originally scheduled for today is canceled.
• The After Dark in the Park presentation slated for Jan. 22 is pending. A decision will be made Friday regarding this presentation. Be sure to check the HVO website for additional information.
Talks by University of Hawaii’s Rick Hazlett on Jan. 28 and 29 and Ryan Peroy on Jan. 31 will go on as scheduled.
