One year of Kilauea activity. Enormous inflation rates, five dike intrusions, and the awakening of the ERZ

It has seen a shift within Kilauea from summit activity to Southwest Rift Zone (SWRZ) activity and finally to East Rift Zone (ERZ) activity, and a total of five sizable dike intrusions. August featured intense SWRZ seismic crises with little surface inflation, likely as magma started to inflate 2-8 km deep perpetual dike bodies (the deep rift). The main graben seems to correspond to a dike intrusion under the former location of Aloi Crater, but the graben has a triangular shape that extends up into Pauahi Crater, likely meaning multiple en echelon dike segments under Aloi and southern Pauahi Crater, with the grabens of the separate segments merging, as well as the inflation lobes to the sides of the segments which turn into an uplift ring around the dikes.
