The Puu Oo eruption is the most voluminous and longest-lived historical flank eruption of Kilauea volcano. A pattern of episodic lava discharge developed in which relatively brief periods of vigorous fountaining and high-volume flow production alternated with longer repose periods. The activity was intensely monitored, and results of the first 11/2 yrs of observation and measurement are reported, including geologic observations, lava sampling, temperature measurements, compositional analyses, petrologic study, studies of gas composition and the role of gases in the eruptive process, geodetic measurements during emplacement of the feeder dike, and seismic and electrical studies.
