FY79 lava lake drilling program : geoscience studies : plans and results

Abstract

Fifteen experimental studies were planned for the geoscience studies portion of the FY79 Lava Lake Drilling Program at Kilauea Iki Lava Lake, Hawaii, grouped under headings of petrologic, thermal, strength, liquid/permeability, electrical, and other. This report gives a location, purpose, description, and feasibility analysis for each experiment. A "Results" section for each experiment includes data gathered and analysis to date, where available. Later reports on completed data analyses and conclusions will be published as warranted.
