1960s, an international conference of scientists attended. May 20, 1965 continued. Problems came to the Committee and were solved. The committee was also involved in other activities. May 20, 1965 continued. [illegible] Set up a monitoring program for early warning of volcanic eruptions at Mount Rainier. It has been noted that the eruption of Mount St. Helens on March 27, 1980 was preceded by an increase in seismic activity and ground deformation. The area around Mount St. Helens had experienced several earthquakes in the past few years. May 20, 1965 continued. In January 1965, a report on the eruption of Kilauea volcano in Hawaii was published by Dr. Harold Glicken (U.S. Geological Survey) and Dr. Donald J. Riehle (University of California, Los Angeles). The eruption began on January 30, 1965, at about 2:45 p.m., HST (Hawaii Standard Time). The first signs of activity were small earthquakes and gas emissions from the crater. Put up a special camera to monitor the eruption. The cameras were set up on the slopes of the volcano and in the surrounding area. They were able to capture images of the lava flow as it moved down the mountain side. May 20, 1965 continued.
