	Kilauea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Kīlauea is an active volcano in the Hawaiian Islands, one of five shield volcanoes that together form the Island of Hawai‘i.
		Kīlauea is just the most recent of a long series of volcanoes that created the Hawaiian Archipelago, as the Pacific Plate moved over a more or less fixed hotspot in the earth's mantle (see, however, Lo‘ihi).
		Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park encompasses a portion of Kīlauea, and the park visitor center is located near the margin of the summit caldera, overlooking a large pit crater called Halema‘uma‘u.

		Kilauea's present eruption began on January 3, 1983 in the rain forests of the mountain's east rift zone.
		Kilauea is perhaps the only volcano in the world with a drive-in caldera.
		One highly anticipated event at Kilauea volcano is the approach of a new lava flow to the sea.

		Halema`uma`u crater ("house of the `ama`u fern") is the main vent inside Kilauea Caldera and is 0.6 miles in diameter.
		Kilauea, the most active of the Hawai`ian volcanoes, has been erupting nearly continuously since 1983.
		The Kilauea ("spewing or much spreading," referring to volcanic eruptions) volcano is the youngest of the volcanoes of Hawai`i, and one of the world's most active.

		The southern flank of Kilauea volcano slipped seaward for a day and a half in November 2000, hundreds of times faster than normal.
		Kilauea volcano has been erupting steadily since Jan. 3, 1983, primarily from the Pu'u 'O'o vent on the volcano's east rift zone.
		The side of Kilauea is constantly moving, generally slipping seaward at a rate of about 3 inches a year.

		Kilauea probably began to grow about 200,000 years ago, and the oldest flows of Hilina Basalt now exposed in the fault scarps of the subaerial south flank probably date from 50-100 thousand years ago.
		Mauna Loa is considered the world's largest active volcano, with an estimated volume of more than 40,000 cubic kilometers, based on the assumption that the volcano extends from the surface to the top of the isostatically depressed ocean crust.
		However, because of adjacent volcanoes interfingering with Mauna Loa, and because older volcanic edifices may be buried at depth, the volcano's actual volume is probably less.

		The amount of lava flowing from the volcano over the past twenty years is greater than at any other point in the past five centuries.
		Kilauea and all of Hawaii's volcanoes are "hot spot" volcanoes, where magma from deep within the mantle makes its way through the crust above it.
		The volcano first erupted between 300,000 and 600,000 years ago, but 90% of its surface formed from lava flows within the past 1,000 years.

	Introduction to Kilauea Volcano, Hawai`i
		Kilauea is the youngest and southeastern most volcano on the Big Island of Hawai`i.
		Topographically Kilauea appears as only a bulge on the southeastern flank of Mauna Loa, and so for many years Kilauea was thought to be a mere satellite of its giant neighbor, not a separate volcano.
		The eruption of Kilauea Volcano that began in 1983 continues at the cinder-and-spatter cone of Pu`u `O`o (high point on skyline).

	Kilauea, HAWAII (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Kilauea volcano, which overlaps the east flank of the massive Mauna Loa shield volcano, has been Hawaii's most active volcano during historical time.
		Eruptions of Kilauea are prominent in Polynesian legends; written documentation extending back to only 1820 records frequent summit and flank lava flow eruptions that were interspersed with periods of long-term lava lake activity that lasted until 1924 at Halemaumau crater, within the summit caldera.
		About 90% of the surface of the basaltic shield volcano is formed of lava flows less than about 1100 years old; 70% of the volcano's surface is younger than 600 years.

	Explosive Eruptions at Kilauea Volcano, Hawai'i? Fact Sheet 132-98
		As a large group of Keoua's warriors traveling with their families passed the crater of Kilauea Volcano, there was a sudden explosive eruption of searingly hot ash and gas.
		Hawai'i's volcanoes have therefore become the textbook example of nonexplosive volcanism, and the term "Hawaiian type" is used to refer to such eruptions.
		Although explosive eruptions at Kilauea are infrequent, deposits of ash discovered by USGS and other scientists document that they actually occur about as often as explosive eruptions from volcanoes in the Cascade Range of the Pacific Northwest, which includes Mount St. Helens, Washington.

	CNN.com - Researchers see link in Hawaii volcano systems - Jan. 15, 2003
		Geologists say an outpouring of lava from the Kilauea volcano that began in May may have stemmed from activity beneath neighboring Mauna Loa, reviving a decades-old debate over whether the two volcanic systems are connected.
		A volcano expert who did not contribute to the Hawaii study said it supports the idea that there is a shallow common magma reservoir within the volcanoes.
		The current eruption at Kilauea began 20 years ago and ranks as the most voluminous outpouring of lava on the volcano's east rift zone in the past six centuries.

	Dynamics of Magma Storage in the Summit Reservoir of Kilauea Volcano, Hawaii
		An eruption of Kilauea Volcano, Hawaii, normally results in a decrease in the internal pressure of a summit magma reservoir as it partly drains.
		The interior of the volcano responses to the decrease in pressure (1) by elastic expansion of remaining magma and gas, (2) additional exsolution of gas dissolved in the magma, and (3) by contraction of the volcanic edifice.
		Gradual, long-term subsidences of Kilauea volcano, not associated with specific eruption, are caused by a combination of gas escape, cooling contraction, and rifting of the summit area.

		Because the eruptions of Hawai'ian volcanoes are gentler than those of most other volcanoes around the world, the edges of active vents are frequently accessible, allowing people to come pay their respects to Pele.
		Eventually, Kilauea Caldera was added to the park, followed by the forests of Mauna Loa, the Ka'u Desert (the site of ancient warrior footprints set in ash), the rain forest of Ola'a, and the Kalapana archaeological area of the Puna/Ka'u Historic District.
		Kilauea and mauna Loa, two of the world's most active volcanoes, are still adding land to the island of Hawai'i.

	Sulfur Dioxide Emission Rates from Kilauea Volcano, Hawai`i, an Update: 1998-2001; USGS Open File Report 02-460 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Sulfur dioxide (SO) emission rates from Kilauea Volcano were first measured by Stoiber and Malone (1975) and have been measured on a regular basis since 1979 (Greenland and others, 1985; Casadevall and others, 1987; Elias and others, 1998; Sutton and others, 2001).
		Also, many thanks to the University of Hawai'i, Center for the Study of Active Volcanoes, for the extended use of their newly acquired COSPEC V. The timing of the acquisition was impeccable, as our COSPEC IV, which had faithfully made measurements at HVO for 22 years, began experiencing increasing amounts of instrumental problems.
		Airborne SO measurements of gas emissions from the summit and east rift zone of Kilauea were made in May and June 1998 (table 4), the first such measurements for the summit and east rift zone since 1984 and 1995 respectively (Elias and others, 1998; Sutton and others, 2001).
