Abstract Examination of the downflow width behavior of 59 terrestrial lava flows at Puu Oo (Hawaii) and Glass Mountain (California) and 86 Martian flows at Alba Patera, Tyrrhena Patera, Elysium, and Olympus Mons was completed using aerial photographs, topographic maps, previously published flow maps, and Viking Orbiter images.
For Puu Oo flows, no significant correlation was found between the average width of a flow and flow length or average underlying slope.
The distributions of width behavior trends for the Alba Patera and Puu Oo flows examined were similar, with this type of "constant" behavior dominating.

 USGS DDS-80, Pu'u 'O'o and Kupaianaha
In July 1986, the vertical conduit of Pu‘u ‘O‘o ruptured, and the eruption shifted to a new vent, Kupaianaha, 3 km northeast of Pu‘u ‘O‘o.
Beginning in 1993, collapse pits appeared on the west flank of Pu‘u ‘O‘o as the magma feeding the flank vents undermined that side of the cone.
The collapse at Pu‘u ‘O‘o left a large gap in the west side of the cone.

 ASTER Image Gallery: Puu Oo, Hawaii   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
The Puu Oo vent, formed soon after the onset of this eruption, is a persistent source of sulfur dioxide (SO2) gas emissions.
On the eve of the 20th anniversary of the eruption of Kilauea, we present a map of the Puu Oo SO2 plume derived from ASTER data.
ASTER is the only instrument in orbit that can detect passive venting of SO2 in plumes as small as the Pu'u O'o plume (typically less than 1.5 km wide over land).

Puu: could be, I mean I was like, are you sure this is decaf cause I could have sworn she didn't even lift the orange pot...
Puu: Trevor and I had our 3 month anniversary, sure it doesn't sound like anything special but he knows that my usual relationships don't last longer than 2 weeks so we thought we should celebrate and I got flowers!
Puu: Well, you should probably not make it a habit to stay on the ground too long afterwards, because that is when people walk all over you, literally!

 Alohacyberian of Hawaii - Kilauea - Travels with Keith Martin
The current and constant eruption of Kilauea Volcano that began in 1983 and continues at the cinder-and-spatter cone of Puu Oo, which in Hawaiian means "highpoint of the sky" or "the sky's zenith".
This simplified cutaway view (not to scale) of Kilauea Volcano shows the pathway of molten rock during the eruption of Puu Oo, located on the east rift zone about 15 miles from the caldera.
When molten rock erupts as lava from Puu Oo, it flows either onto the surface or through a lava-tube system about 8 miles to the sea and sometimes surface eruptions and fountains also flow to the ocean.

 Honolulu Star-Bulletin Hawaii News
The shore of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, once the scene of lava entering the sea in clouds of steam, has been quiet for six months as lava outbreaks retreated upland to their source at Puu Oo.
The cause, according to the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, is that tubes of crusted rock that once carried lava to the sea have become plugged.
Although the viewing public liked seaside flows, Puu Oo has always been the focus for scientists because it is the eruption point, Swanson said.

The composition of this hybrid magma changed systematically after the eruption was localized at the Puu Oo vent.
We modelled the magma system at Puu Oo as a well-mixed box model and derived a set of relationships from mass balance principles describing the proportion of each magma component in the magma reservoir at any point in time.

 EarthRef.org Reference Database (ERR) -- Ferrazzini et al. 1991
The highly cracked solidified lava flow on which the array was deployed, and subjacent structure of alternating lava and ash layers formed during repeated eruption of Puu Oo since 1983, appear to be responsible for the low velocities observed.
The results from Puu Oo stand in sharp contrast to those obtained in an experiment conducted in 1976 on the partially solidified lava lake of Kilauea Iki.
The average phase velocities in the frequency band from 2 to 5 Hz found at Puu Oo are roughly similar to those determined for tremor at Klyuchevskoy volcano, Kamchatka, but the frequency dependence appears much stronger at Puu Oo.

 Crustal Contamination of Kilauea Volcano Magmas Revealed by Oxygen Isotope Analyses of Glass and Olivine fromPuu Oo ...
O values of glassy matrix material and coexisting olivines from pristine basalts produced during the current, 14-year-old Puu Oo eruption of Kilauea Volcano.
Olivine analyses are a critical component of this study because olivine is the liquidus mineral in Hawaiian tholeiitic magmas (Wright, 1971) and it is thought to be resistant to oxygen exchange, even at magmatic temperatures (Cole & Ohmoto, 1986).
O values are shown for the matrix from Puu Oo eruption lavas (Table 1), HGP-A geothermal well cores (Smith & Thomas, 1990), the 1977 eruption magma (as represented by sample 1-39 erupted in 1983), and the matrix from six summit lavas erupted since 1924 (E. Ito, unpublished data, 1997).

 Abstract: Magma Mixing during early Puu Oo eruption   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Four versions of this model are applied to a mixing trend spanning episodes 3-31 of Kilauea Volcano’s Pu‘u ‘O‘o eruption, each testing different constraints on magma reservoir input and output fluxes.
This volume is much larger than a previous estimate for the shallow, dike shaped magma reservoir under the Pu‘u ‘O‘o vent, which grew from ~3 to ~18 million m3.
These volumetric differences are interpreted to indicate that mixing occurred first in a larger, deeper reservoir before the magma was injected into the overlying shallow reservoir.

From August 18 - 26, 2005, the infrasonic tremor originated from an extremely well defined direction pointing to Puu Oo, and to be concentrated in two distinct frequency bands (0.5-1.5 Hz and 1.5-3 Hz).
Although the sensors and site of this deployments are superior to those of the first infrasonic recordings of tremor signals at Puu Oo (Garces et al., 2003), it is likely that the type of infrasonic signals radiated by Puu Oo have changed over the last three years.
Because of its persistence, infrasonic signals from Kilauea volcano may be used to assess the range-dependent capabilities of infrasound monitoring.

Maanalaisten juurien avulla puu saa vettä ja ravinteita.
Sahan ja kirveen lisäksi puun voi kaataa metsätyökoneella, se voi kaatua tai mennä poikki myös salamaniskusta, tai tuulenpuuskasta, mikäli itse puu tai sen juuret ovat lahot.
Kun puu kaatuu - tai kaadetaan - niin, että se jää nojaamaan toiseen, vielä pystyssä olevaan puuhun, ilmiötä kutsutaan konkeloksi, tai konkeloon jäämiseksi.

Look for steam from Puu Oo, a major vent of Kilauea's ongoing eruption, far to the east.
A steep descent of about 800 feet [243.8 meters] marks Holei Pali, a cliff formed by vertical faulting; the huge coastal shelf is breaking away from the uplands and sinking into the sea, albeit slowly on a human time scale.
Since 1986, an almost continuous flow of lava from Puu Oo has engulfed several miles of the road, as well as the Kamoamoa picnic site and campground, and the Wahaula Visitor Center.
