Aloha, welcome to the website for the "Underwater Volcanoes of the Northern Hawaiian Islands".

A 28-day marine expedition on the University of Hawaii Research Vessel Kilo Moana to map the Kaua'i and Ni'ihau submarine volcanic fields. We will use multibeam bathymetry and acoustic imagery, and we will also sample many of its volcanoes using the JASON2 ROV to characterize the petrology, geochemistry and ages of these lavas.

We will be doing updates from the ship, to view them just click on the calendar to the right. We will also have information about our science objectives, the crew that will be on the ship, and the ship and all equipment we'll be using!
