View Table of Contents

Documents the current knowledge of Mauna Loa, the largest and among the most productive of the world's volcanoes. Encompassing a broad spectrum of research, this study also considers critical problems and the technical means to solve them. Due to its potential as a laboratory, Mauna Loa has been selected as on of the 14 volcanoes in the Decade Volcano Project. A project started in an effort to better understand and reduce the risks associated with volcanoes. The volume covers Mauna Loa's: geologic and exploratory history, submarine geology, structure, petrologic and geochemical characteristics, hazards to surrounding areas, and its changing landscape. It also elaborates on research methods such as: remote sensing, the use of gravity, seismic and deformational studies for eruption monitoring and forecasting.
