经过近十年非常缓慢的变形，夏威夷的莫纳罗亚火山，地球上最大的火山，于2002年5月开始膨胀;与此同时，它的邻居基拉韦厄开始了一个大规模的喷发。我们已经发现了这些事件之间的相关性，在一个非常短的时间尺度，连续变形监测检测。这一引人注目的观察结果表明，莫纳罗亚火山和基拉韦厄火山的岩浆系统之间存在着地壳水平的相互作用，重新引发了一个世纪以来关于这两座火山之间关系的争论，这两座火山之间的关系是基于熔岩化学成分和喷发行为模式的差异。
After almost a decade of very slow rates of deformation, Mauna Loa in Hawaii, the largest volcano on Earth, began inflating in May 2002; at the same time, a high-volume effusive episode began at its neighbour Kilauea. We have found a correlation between these events at a very short timescale, detected by continuous deformation monitoring. This remarkable observation suggests that there is a crustal-level interaction between the magma systems of Mauna Loa and Kilauea, reviving a century-old controversy over the relationship between these two volcanoes on the basis of differences in their lava chemistry and in their patterns of eruptive behaviour,,,,.
