Compilation of Whole-Rock and Glass Major-Element Geochemistry of Kilauea Volcano, Hawai'i, Near-Vent Eruptive Products: January 1983 through September 2001.

摘要

This report presents major element geochemical data from 652 glasses (approx. 6,520 analyses) and 795 whole rock aliquots from 1,002 fresh samples of olivine tholeiitic lava collected throughout the near continuous eruption of Kilauea Volcano, Hawaii, from January 1983 through September 2001. The data presented herein provide a unique temporal compilation of lava geochemistry that best reflects variations of pre-eruptive magma compositions during prolonged rift zone eruption. This document serves as a repository for geochemical data referred to in U.S. Geological Survey Professional Paper 1676 which includes multidisciplinary research papers pertaining to the first twenty years of Puyu OoKupaianaha eruption activity. Details of eruption characteristics and nomenclature are provided in the introductory chapter of that volume (Heliker and Mattox, 2003). Geochemical relations among all or portions of this data set are depicted and interpreted by Thornber (2003), Thornber and others (2003) and Thornber (2001). Trace element compositions and Nd, Sr and Pb isotopic analyses of representative samples of this select eruption suite will be provided in a separate and complimentary open file report.
