Characteristics of Hawaiian Volcanoes establishes a benchmark for the currrent understanding of volcanism in Hawaii, and the articles herein build upon the elegant and pioneering work of Dutton, Jagger, Steams, and many other USGS and academic scientists. Each chapter synthesizes the lessons learned about a specific aspect of volcanism in Hawaii, based largely o continuous observation of eruptive activity and on systematic research into volcanic and earthquake processes during HVO's first 100 years.

Kalapana, which lies downslope from Kilauea, the most active Hawaiian volcano, is significant as one of the few Hawaiian communities that persisted on the land into the twentieth century. Encroaching lava flows forced The Kalapana community to move away in the 1980s. This oral history shares the memories of people who grew up in Kalapana in the 1920s and 1930s, much of it in their own words. It fills a major gap in the history and anthropology of Hawaiian culture. With the twentieth century, Hawaiians and Hawaiian culture tend to disappear from the written histories of Hawaii, seemingly less important than the burgeoning plantation economy and the prospering white and Asian immigrant groups. For their part, anthropologists did not do fieldwork to describe Hawaiian communities until the last half of the twentieth century. Earlier anthropological work was aimed at recording surviving traditional lore, rather than describing living Hawaiian communities. After a section describing the nineteenth century history of Kalapana, the study focuses on the 1920s and 1930s, based on the memories of elders who grew up during that time. Despite conversion to Christianity and political integration into the United States, Kalapana life remained distinctively Hawaiian, including traditional methods of fishing and farming, family life, Hawaiian language, and belief in Hawaiian spirits. A later section brings the history of Kalapana up to the present, including the 1986-1990 lava flow that covered most of the villages and dispersed the Hawaiian community, and subsequent moves toward community renewal.

Herein are 20 legends of Hawaii’s volcanoes and the demigods which occupy them. Many of these legends are about Pele who according to Polynesian myth lives in Kilauea. The story of Pele’s arrival and occupation of Kilauea can be found in the very first story, “AI-LAAU, THE FOREST EATER.” Ai-laau lived in the volcano spewing forth his fire from the great crater when Pele came to the seashore far below. On seeing Pele, Ai-laau was fearful and fled leaving the volcano to her, where until this day she digs and continues to release plumes of fire and rivers of lava. Herein you will find the legends of: Ai-Laau, The Forest Eater How Pele Came To Hawaii Pele And The Owl Ghost-God The Hills Of Pele Pele And The Chiefs Of Puna Pele's Tree Pele And Kaha-Wali Pele And Kama-Puaa Pele And The Snow-Goddess Genealogy Of The Pele Family Pele's Long Sleep Hopoe, The Dancing Stone Hiiaka's Battle With Demons How Hiiaka Found Wahine-Omao Hiiaka Catching A Ghost Hiiaka And The Seacoast Kupuas Lohiau The Annihilation Of Keoua's Army The Destruction Of Kamehameha's Fish Ponds Kapiolani And Pele We invite you to download and read this very topical edition of Legends Of Hawaii’s Volcanoes, the activity of which was just as important to the ancient, original inhabitants of Hawaii as they were to the second generation of Americans who have arrived on the islands in relatively recent times. Instead of wading through the scientific explanations for the recent volcanic activity, just maybe there is another, hitherto, unexplained reason for the eruptions, some of which also give an interesting perspective on Hawaiian history. =========== KEYWORDS/TAGS: fairy tales, folklore, myths, legends, children’s stories, children’s stories, bygone era, fairydom, fairy land, classic stories, children’s bedtime stories, happy place, happiness, laughter, history, historical, Hawaii, Islands, , Pele, Hiiaka, lava, great, fire, Lohiau, beautiful, Kauai, crater, chief, goddess, forest, Kilauea, sister, power, water, volcano, journey, winds, spirit, Kama-puaa, dragons, Puna, pit, Hilo, smoke, Hopoe, clouds, fires, ferns, Kapiolani, struck, volcanic, islands, ancient, death, earth, fish, Wahine, omao, Kamehameha, lightning, mountains, Hawaiians, Pana-ewa, skirt, magic, waves, deep, leap, ocean, Kaha-wali, pig, stone, precipice, erupt, flowers, Poliahu, battle, anger, destroy, divine, river, flee, prophet, pour, native, Mauna, sleep, chant, holua, birds, evil, Na-maka-o-ka-hai, fire-goddess, dragon, Haumea, floods, lehua, king, surf, tabu, lover, ghost-gods, Oahu, Maui, Pau-o-palae, au-makuas, missionary, earthquake, sacrifice, Moo-lau, , canoe, Kane, west, kupuas, Keoua, Pii, Ku-waha-ilo, Lono-makua, Ai-laau, Kahuku, bones, Keaau, Kane-hoa-lani, Ka-moho-alii, whirlwind, traveller, guardians, Hiiaka

The first part of this book focuses on the legends of Hawaii and its volcanoes. The second part considers the geology of the region and discusses the crack in the floor of the Pacific, Hawaiian volcanoes, volcanic activity and the changes in the Kilauea crater. It also looks at the foundation of the observatory.

Hawaiian Volcanoes, From Source to Surface is the outcome of an AGU Chapman Conference held on the Island of Hawai‘i in August 2012. As such, this monograph contains a diversity of research results that highlight the current understanding of how Hawaiian volcanoes work and point out fundamental questions requiring additional exploration. Volume highlights include: Studies that span a range of depths within Earth, from the deep mantle to the atmosphere Methods that cross the disciplines of geochemistry, geology, and geophysics to address issues of fundamental importance to Hawai‘i’s volcanoes Data for use in comparisons with other volcanoes, which can benefit from, and contribute to, a better understanding of Hawai‘i Discussions of the current issues that need to be addressed for a better understanding of Hawaiian volcanism Hawaiian Volcanoes, From Source to Surface will be a valuable resource not only for researchers studying basaltic volcanism and scientists generally interested in volcanoes, but also students beginning their careers in geosciences. This volume will also be of great interest to igneous petrologists, geochemists, and geophysicists.
