This geospatial database provides a digital representation of map data relating to the 2018 lower East Rift Zone eruption of Kīlauea Volcano, Hawaiʻi; specifically, these geospatial data are versions—updated for accuracy—of those used to construct semi-daily lava-flow maps during the eruption, and they have been incorporated into maps for the U.S. Geological Survey Professional Paper chapter that is preliminarily titled "Chronological narrative for the 2018 eruption of Kīlauea" by Parcheta, C.E. and others (in preparation). Feature data are also included for sample sites in the U.S. Geological Survey data release "Whole-rock and glass chemistry of lava samples collected during the 2018 lower East Rift Zone eruption of Kīlauea" by Lee, R.L. and others (2019, accessed at https://doi.org/10.5066/P9LVY7GV). This report supersedes the "Preliminary map of the 2018 lower East Rift Zone eruption of Kīlauea Volcano, Island of Hawaiʻi" by the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory staff (2018, accessed at https://doi.org/10.5066/P994OGY8). The primary component of this report is a geodatabase prepared using ArcGIS, but Esri shapefiles and Google Earth KMZs are included as well.
