Mapping the lateral boundaries of a cooling basaltic lava lake, Kilauea Iki, Hawaii
Vincent J. Flanigan, Charles J. Zablocki
1977, Open-File Report 77-94
Two types of electromagnetic (EM) profiling techniques were used to delineate the surface projection of the edges of the still-molten basaltic lava lens that exists in Kilauea Iki Crater, Hawaii. These studies were made as part of an intensive geophysical program aimed at defining the overall configuration of the liquid...
