Hawaiian Volcanoes, From Source to Surface is the outcomeof an AGU Chapman Conference held on the Island of Hawai'i inAugust 2012. As such, this monograph contains a diversity ofresearch results that highlight the current understanding of howHawaiian volcanoes work and point out fundamental questionsrequiring additional exploration.
Volume highlights include:
* Studies that span a range of depths within Earth, from the deepmantle to the atmosphere
* Methods that cross the disciplines of geochemistry, geology,and geophysics to address issues of fundamental importance toHawai'i's volcanoes
* Data for use in comparisons with other volcanoes, which canbenefit from, and contribute to, a better understanding ofHawai'i
* Discussions of the current issues that need to be addressed fora better understanding of Hawaiian volcanism
Hawaiian Volcanoes, From Source to Surface will be avaluable resource not only for researchers studying basalticvolcanism and scientists generally interested in volcanoes, butalso students beginning their careers in geosciences. This volumewill also be of great interest to igneous petrologists,geochemists, and geophysicists.
