Distribution of flows, Episode 1 - early Episode 48, January 3, 1983 - February 4, 1987 (from Sheet 1)

The Puʻu ʻŌʻō - Kūpaianaha eruption on the middle east rift zone of Kīlauea began in January 1983 with intermittent activity along several fissures. By June 1983, the eruption had localized at the Puʻu ʻŌʻō vent, and the activity settled into an increasingly regular pattern of brief eruptive episodes characterized by high lava fountains. The first 18 months of this eruption are chronicled in Wolfe and others (1988), which includes maps of the flows erupted in episodes 1-20. The maps presented here extend this series through the beginning of episode 48.
