Magma supply rate at Kilauea Volcano, 1952-1971
Swanson DA. 1972. Magma supply rate at Kilauea Volcano, 1952-1971. Science. 175(4018):169-170
The three longest Kilauea eruptions since 1952 produced lava at an overall constant rate of about 9 x 106 cubic meters per month (vesicle-free). This is considered to represent the rate of magma supply from a deep source, probably the mantle, becasue little or no summit deformation indicating high-level storage accompanied any of the three eruptions.
