Where would you rather travel to and why: Hawaii or New Zealand/Aotearoa?

You’re making me spill the beans on Aegor secrets: I’ve been to Hawaii a few times (my uncle is in the military and stationed at Tripler Army Medical Center for some years) and tbh if you can get past the very long travel time (Honolulu is the most isolated city in the world that has over half a million people) I believe there’s no more beautiful place. My favorite city is Hilo due to the Queen Liliuokalani gardens, the local zoo the local university, Ken’s House of Pancakes (I have eaten their sumo sized meals a few times but not all at once I have some restraint), the chirping coqui frogs at night and the rain (my favorite weather), and it’s not touristy like Honolulu (though that’s the only place on the islands where there’s elephants! A gift from Indira Gandhi). When I was a kid I was also obsessed with Mary Kawena Pukui’s adaptions of Hawaiian legends—on the Lohiau and Pikoi cycles—and arguably it started my interest in fantasy/writing in the genre. I’ve never been to Aotearoa, although I’ve heard good things about their wildlife, but Hawaii was such a formative area during my childhood I would give a lot to travel to it again (just take away the long airplane rides).

Furthermore, awards have been extended to scholars from the University of Denver and the University of Mississippi after a two-decade hiatus.  

A Scholarship Program with Global Support

The Marshall Scholarship program receives primary funding from the British Government and additional support through partnerships with leading British academic institutions. This collaboration allows scholarship winners to pursue their graduate degrees in diverse academic fields at various UK universities. The 2024 class will commence their studies at 18 different institutions throughout the UK, ranging from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine to Loughborough University in Leicestershire.  

A Connection to New York

This year's class includes 11 talented individuals with ties to the New York region. They hail from various academic backgrounds and regions within the state, exemplifying the diversity and excellence that New York contributes to the program. Their achievements not only reflect their personal dedication but also the educational opportunities and support available in the region.   About the Marshall Scholarship The Marshall Scholarship, initiated as a gesture of gratitude for U.S. assistance under the Marshall Plan, has evolved into a prestigious scholarship program offering talented young Americans the opportunity to pursue their academic interests in the United Kingdom. Over the years, Marshall Scholars have made significant contributions to academia, government, and society, leaving an indelible mark on the world. This year's recipients join the ranks of distinguished Marshall Scholars who have gone on to achieve greatness in their respective fields, shaping the future of our nation and the world.

Hawaii’s Mauna Loa volcano is erupting for the first time since 1984

Hawaii’s Mauna Loa volcano is erupting for the first time since 1984

For the first time in nearly 40 years, the world’s largest active volcano is erupting in Hawaii, after weeks of increased activity at the caldera

Earth 28 November 2022 , updated 28 November 2022

A thermal camera on the north rim of Mauna Loa’s summit caldera captured the eruption

US Geological Survey

The world’s largest active volcano, Mauna Loa in Hawaii, is erupting for the first time in almost 40 years, with US officials warning nearby residents to prepare for possible evacuation.

The eruption, the volcano’s first since 1984, began at 11.30pm local time on 27 November at Moku‘āweoweo, the summit’s caldera located inside Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park on the island of Hawaii.

So far, the eruption is confined to the summit area but officials warned the situation could change rapidly.

Along the sides of the volcano are two so-called rift zones, extending north-east and south-west from the caldera, where the surface of the volcano can crack and split. “Very fluid and fast-moving lava” can quickly run from a new fissure, threatening populated neighbourhoods downstream, said Ken Hon at the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory in a briefing on 28 November.

“Right now, we just don’t know what’s going to happen – if this is going to stay as a summit-only eruption or move into one of the rift zones,” he said.

On 28 November, officials from the US Geological Survey said lava had started to spill out of the summit’s caldera, but said there is no evidence of lava erupting from the rift zones.

A warning for ashfall has been issued for Hawaii’s Big Island, with medically vulnerable residents advised to stay inside or wear filter masks. Shelters have been opened to provide safety for islanders, although there is no immediate threat to populated areas, according to officials.

Mauna Loa is a giant shield volcano, standing at around 4 kilometres tall and covering a land area of about 5000 square kilometres.

It has erupted 33 times since 1843, most seriously in 1950 when it inundated the coastal town of Hoʻōpūloa within 3 hours, destroying houses, a church and the local highway.

During its last eruption in 1984, lava flows came within 5 miles of the city of Hilo.

Volcanologists have been reporting an uptick in activity at Mauna Loa for weeks, with dozens of small, shallow earthquakes recorded around the summit in the last month. “Then it really kicked up right before the eruption started,” says Paul Segall at Stanford University in California.

Deeper earthquakes around the volcano over the past several years have indicated Mauna Loa might be ready to erupt. “This has been on our radar for a while,” he says.

In a statement, the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory said it will conduct aerial reconnaissance “as soon as possible” to better understand the risks posed by the current eruption.

Segall says the eruption may help volcanologists understand more about the connection between Mauna Loa and another Hawaiian volcano called Kīlauea. “We don’t really understand the plumbing system where the magma separates” to flow to the two volcanos, he says. One theory behind the long delay since Mauna Loa’s last eruption is that magma was being diverted to Kīlauea, which saw a major eruption in 2018 that caused a caldera collapse.

Segall says he sees no indication at this point that the Mauna Loa eruption could become as forceful as the 2018 eruption of Kīlauea. “Statistically speaking, this thing is going to be relatively modest,” he says.
