Stratigraphy and geochronology of Holocene basaltic tephra deposits on the southeastern flank of Mauna Loa volcano, Island of Hawaiʻi, and implications for volcanic hazards
Tephra deposits are widespread across the Island of Hawaiʻi, many of which have been poorly studied. An understanding of the ages and sources of these tephras is important for assessing the frequency of explosive eruptions and thus the hazard potential from individual volcanoes on the island. This study presents new da...
