Additional title page description: An account of volcanic activity that included a brief eruption, a seismic crisis, and extensive earth movements.
Characteristics of Hawaiian Volcanoes establishes a benchmark for the currrent understanding of volcanism in Hawaii, and the articles herein build upon the elegant and pioneering work of Dutton, Jagger, Steams, and many other USGS and academic scientists. Each chapter synthesizes the lessons learned about a specific aspect of volcanism in Hawaii, based largely o continuous observation of eruptive activity and on systematic research into volcanic and earthquake processes during HVO's first 100 years.

Kilauea Volcano is currently the most active volcano on earth, and Kilauea has covered more than 500 square miles of Hawaii with lava in the last 1,100 years, and we are still counting those square miles, because Kilauea has been actively erupting e since 1983. The K lauea and Mauna Loa Volcanoes are considered active, The Mauna Kea, Hual lai and Haleakal volcanoes are dormant, but not extinct. The other vo...
