Summary

This data release contains information about the lava samples that were collected during two volcanic eruptions of Kīlauea Volcano, Island of Hawai‘i. The first eruption occurred from 1983 to 2018 at Pu‘u‘ō‘ō and the second occurred contemporaneously from 2008 to 2018 at the summit lava lake. The data release provides a comprehensive list of lava samples that are currently stored in the physical sample archive of the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO). The information in the data release includes details about the sampling sites and how the samples were collected. Most of the samples were collected to study the pre-eruptive chemistry and petrology of the magma that fed the eruption and to track its changes over time. Therefore, most [...]

Purpose

The samples were collected as part of the eruption-response project first led by the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) and later as a collaborative effort between HVO and the University of Hawaii at Hilo Geology Department (UHH). The objective of the project was to characterize the pre-eruptive chemistry and petrology of the magma and track changes over the course of the eruption.
