I'm still shocked Nature accepted the article for publication and then gave it the headline:
"Extreme rainfall triggered the 2018 rift eruption at K#299;lauea Volcano"
I'm not a fan of for-profit science journals - they add ridiculous costs to researchers even though those researchers are providing the journals with their content. Many fields are now turning to free online peer-reviewed journals although I think it will be a long time before that becomes the accepted norm.
I don't know if this is something that has affected Nature's process in publishing articles, it's long been the journal where scientists want to publish their work, especially if the results are very significant. But I don't think this particular paper was ever "Nature" material and don't understand why it was published with that title.
