Magma mingling during the 1959 eruption of Kīlauea Iki, Hawaiʻi
Magma mingling and mixing are common processes at basaltic volcanoes and play a fundamental role in magma petrogenesis and eruption dynamics....

Magma storage and transport timescales for the 1959 Kīlauea Iki eruption and implications for diffusion chronometry studies using time-series samples versus tephra deposits
Complex crystal cargo in basaltic eruptions has the potential to yield diverse insights on pre- and syn-eruptive timescales of magma storage and...

Olivine diffusion constrains months-scale magma transport within Kīlauea volcano’s summit reservoir system prior to the 2020 eruption
The unprecedented 2018 summit collapse at Kīlauea and subsequent 2020–2021 eruption within the newly deepened Halema‘uma‘u Crater provide an...

Years of magma intrusion primed Kīlauea Volcano (Hawai'i) for the 2018 eruption: evidence from olivine diffusion chronometry and monitoring data
The mechanisms that led to the exceptionally large Kīlauea 2018 eruption are still poorly understood and actively debated. External processes such as...

The petrologic and degassing behavior of sulfur and other magmatic volatiles from the 2018 eruption of Kīlauea, Hawaiʻi: melt concentrations, magma storage depths, and magma recycling
Kīlauea Volcano’s 2018 lower East Rift Zone (LERZ) eruption produced exceptionally high lava effusion rates and record-setting SO 2 emissions. The...

Characterising the wind-advected medial fall deposit from fissure 8 fountaining during the 2018 lower East Rift Zone eruption, Kīlauea
The 2018 eruption on the lower East Rift Zone, Hawaii, involved the opening of 24 fissures before the eruption focussed on a single point source,...

Controls on juvenile ash morphologies in lava fountains: insights from laboratory experiments
Hawaiian lava fountains produce a wide variety of pyroclasts, including achneliths, i.e., fluidal juvenile fragments. These range from nearly perfect...

Total grain size distribution of an intense Hawaiian fountaining event: case study of the 1959 Kīlauea Iki eruption
The 1959 eruption of Kīlauea Iki on the Island of Hawai’i is a principal example of powerful Hawaiian fountaining. Over 36 days (including repose...

Quantifying gas emissions associated with the 2018 rift eruption of Kīlauea Volcano using ground-based DOAS measurements
Starting on 3 May 2018, a series of eruptive fissures opened in Kīlauea Volcano’s lower East Rift Zone (LERZ). Over the course of the next 3 months,...

Intricate episodic growth of a Hawaiian tephra deposit: case study of the 1959 Kīlauea Iki eruption
The 1959 Kīlauea Iki eruption on Hawai’i generated a succession of fountains, most reaching hundreds of meters high. The 16 episodes of fountaining...

One hundred years of advances in volcano seismology and acoustics
Since the 1919 foundation of the International Association of Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earth’s Interior (IAVCEI), the fields of volcano...

A review of controls on lava lake level: insights from Halema‘uma‘u Crater, Kīlauea Volcano
The height of the lava column is a fundamental measure of open-vent volcanic activity, but little continuous long-term data exist to understand this...
-
Experimental study of Fe–Mg partitioning and zoning during rapid growth of olivine in Hawaiian tholeiites
The partitioning behavior of Fe and Mg between olivine and basalt melt is of key importance to the study of terrestrial and extraterrestrial basalts....
-
A review of statistical tools for morphometric analysis of juvenile pyroclasts
Morphometric analyses are based on multiparametric data sets that describe quantitatively the shapes of objects. The stochastic nature of fracture...
-
Monitoring the cooling of the 1959 Kīlauea Iki lava lake using surface magnetic measurements
Lava lakes can be considered as proxies for small magma chambers, offering a unique opportunity to investigate magma evolution and solidification....
-
Standardized analysis of juvenile pyroclasts in comparative studies of primary magma fragmentation; 1. Overview and workflow
Juvenile pyroclasts, especially in the ash size range, provide important information on primary fragmentation processes, i.e., initial explosive...
-
Investigating physical and thermal interactions between lava and trees: the case of Kīlauea’s July 1974 flow
To examine whether there was any physical or thermal interaction between trees and lava when a lava flow inundates a forest, we studied the Kīlauea’s...

Magma decompression rates during explosive eruptions of Kīlauea volcano, Hawaii, recorded by melt embayments
The decompression rate of magma as it ascends during volcanic eruptions is an important but poorly constrained parameter that controls many of the...
-
Proximal lava drainage controls on basaltic fissure eruption dynamics
Hawaiian basaltic eruptions commonly initiate as a fissure, producing fountains, spattering, and clastogenic lava flows. Most fissures rapidly...
