Abstract
Volume was calculated for the 107 individual volcanic shields along the Hawaiian Ridge Emperor Seamounts chain to help fulfill the need for volume data essential to determining eruption rates, fraction of mantle melted, and other parameters. Boundaries used were based principally upon location of rift zones related to each shield. Volcanic loci shown are modified from an earlier map to accommodate changes in bathymetry. Total volumes calculated for the Emperor and Hawaiian chains are 336.3 X 103 km3 and 744.9 X 103 km3
