The research was conducted by scientists with the in the at the , along with colleagues at Rice University, the U.S. Geological Survey and the Carnegie Institution of Washington.
Their findings offer the first plausible model that can explain both the opposing long-term eruptive patterns at Mauna Loa and Kīlauea—when one is active, the other is quiet, and vice versa—as well as the episode in 2003-2007 when GPS records showed that both inflated concurrently.
