Hawaiian hot spot fuels volcano debate

The plumbing of Hawaii's volcanoes might not be as straightforward as scientists thought.

NASA Airborne Radar Set to Image Hawaiian Volcanoes

The Kilauea volcano that recently erupted on the Big Island of Hawaii will be the target for a NASA study to help scientists better understand processes occurring under Earth's surface.
A NASA Gulfstream-III aircraft equipped with a synthetic aperture radar developed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., is scheduled to depart Sunday, April 3, from the Dryden Aircraft Operations Facility in Palmdale, Calif., to the Big Island for a nine-day mission.
