At Kilauea volcano, Hawaii, the recent long‐lived eruptions of Mauna Ulu and Pu'u O'o have
occurred in two major stages, defining a characteristic eruptive pattern. The first stage …

Abstract The 1983–1986 Pu'u 'O'o eruption of Kilauea volcano had a very distinctive
episodic character which later changed to steady-state activity. In this paper we present a …

A model for the exsolution of H2O, CO2, and S from Kilauea magma as it rises from a
shallow crustal reservoir predicts that vigorous exsolution occurs only after magma has …

We review the factors determining lava fountain heights in Hawaiian‐style basaltic eruptions
such as those occurring during the recent series of eruptive episodes at the Pu'u 'O'o vent …

Note: This paper is dedicated to Aaron and Elizabeth Waters on the occasion of Dr. Waters'
retirement. Three types of chemically similar pahoehoe flows were observed to form during …

The historical records of Kilauea and Mauna Loa volcanoes reveal that the rough-surfaced
variety of basalt lava called aa forms when lava flows at a high volumetric rate (> 5–10 m …

Kilauea volcano is a very intensively studied, active basaltic magmatic system and thus
represents an ideal location to study magma solidification processes in a natural …

An “active” lava lake is one that forms directly on top of a magma column, as opposed to an
“inactive” one formed by passive ponding of lava within a preexisting crater. Two active lava …

The heights of lava fountains formed in Hawaiian-style eruptions are controlled by magma
gas content, volume flux and the amounts of lava re-entrainment and gas bubble …

Although most Kilauea eruptions produce effusive basaltic lavas, about 1 percent of the
prehistoric and historical eruptions have been explosive. Multiple steam explosions from …
