The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, on Hawaiiâs Big Island, has been monitoring volcanoes since 1912ânearly four decades before Hawaii became a state. Today itâs considered one of the worldâs leading observatories. Yet thereâs little coordination between even the best observatories in the United States.
