Geothermics, 1993
Abstract This paper summarizes studies of the structure, stratigraphy, petrology, drill holes, eruption frequency, and volcanic and seismic hazards of Kilauea volcano. All the volcano is discussed, but the focus is on its lower cast rift zone (LERZ) because active exploration for geothermal energy is concentrated in that area.

Volatile budget of Kilauea volcano
Nature, 1985The volatile content of magma in the reservoirs of active volcanoes has an important bearing on problems of petrogenesis, magma degassing, eruption mechanisms, eruption forecasting and monitoring and the environmental impact of eruptions. Volcanic gas compositions and the S content of glasses are used to infer the volatile content and the degassing ...

Iridium emissions from Kilauea Volcano
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 1986During May 1983, gas and particulate samples were collected at the cooling vents of Kilauea volcano in Hawaii. Three vents on the southeast rift zone were sampled using base‐treated filter packs to absorb acidic gases and Teflon filters for particles. The samples were analyzed for 40 elements by nondestructive neutron activation analysis. As with other

The hydrogeology of Kilauea volcano
Geothermics, 1993Abstract The hydrogeology of Kilauea volcano and adjacent areas has been studied since the turn of this century. However, most studies to date have focused on the relatively shallow, low-salinity parts of the ground-water system, and the deeper hydrothermal system remains poorly understood.

Mantle Fault Zone Beneath Kilauea Volcano, Hawaii
Science, 2003Relocations and focal mechanism analyses of deep earthquakes (≥13 kilometers) at Kilauea volcano demonstrate that seismicity is focused on an active fault zone at 30-kilometer depth, with seaward slip on a low-angle plane, and other smaller, distinct fault zones.

The Kilauea Volcano Adult Health Study
Nursing Research, 2009Millions of people reside near active volcanoes, yet data are limited on effects to human health. The Kilauea Volcano is the largest point source for sulfur dioxide in the United States, releasing air pollution on nearby communities since 1983.: The objectives of this study were to provide the first population-based epidemiological estimates and ...

Magmatically Triggered Slow Slip at Kilauea Volcano, Hawaii
Science, 2008We demonstrate that a recent dike intrusion probably triggered a slow fault-slip event (SSE) on Kilauea volcano's mobile south flank. Our analysis combined models of Advanced Land Observing Satellite interferometric dike-intrusion displacement maps with continuous Global Positioning System (GPS) displacement vectors to show that deformation nearly ...

In search of ancestral Kilauea volcano
Geology, 2000Submersible observations and samples show that the lower south flank of Hawaii, offshore from Kilauea volcano and the active Hilina slump system, consists entirely of compositionally diverse volcaniclastic rocks; pillow lavas are confined to shallow slopes.

Deformation measurements on Kilauea volcano, Hawaii
Bulletin Volcanologique, 1966Repeated electronic distance measurements across Kilauea Caldera with Tellurometers and Geodimeter show definite horizontal expansion related to the vertical uplift and outward tilting of the summit prior to an eruption, and contraction during and after a flank eruption.

Volcanic Gases: Hydrogen Burning at Kilauea Volcano, Hawaii
Science, 1973Spectroscopic evidence for hydrogen burning in air was obtained at Kilauea Volcano. The abundance of hydrogen required to support combustion is consistent with that predicted for gases in equilibrium with typical Hawaiian tholeiitic basalt.
