Summary

This data release includes documentation of rock core recovered from three shallow holes drilled during the summer of 2000 into the flanks of Mauna Loa volcano, on the Island of Hawai‘i, Hawaii. Holes were drilled to accommodate installation of U.S. Geological Survey Hawaiian Volcano Observatory volcano-monitoring instruments in the year 2000. Rock core recovered from the holes, which extend 112–119 m (367–392 ft) below the ground surface, were logged to characterize the sub-surface local geology. Core are described by depth below the ground surface, lithologic unit type and class, phenocryst type and abundance, groundmass type, vesicle abundance, morphology, and distribution, alteration, fracturing, and unit contacts. This data release [...]

Purpose

This data release documents and characterizes rock core recovered from three shallow holes (112–119 m/367–392 ft below the ground surface) drilled into the flanks of Mauna Loa volcano, Island of Hawai‘i, Hawai‘i, during the summer of 2000. Holes were drilled to accommodate U.S. Geological Survey Hawaiian Volcano Observatory volcano-monitoring instrument installation and drill core were recovered to document and characterize sub-surface geology. Drill core are currently archived by the U.S. Geological Survey Hawaiian Volcano Observatory and are available for future scientific investigations.
