Abstract
An area of anomalously low resistivity, associated with high microearthquake activity at depths of 1-3 km, has been mapped near the summit of Kilauea Volcano, Hawaii. In view of the volcanic activity in the area, one possible explanation of this feature would be that a convection cell of warm water is present above the magma chamber feeding the volcano. To test this possibility, a hole has been drilled and cored in the center of the anomaly. Physical properties and temperatures have been determined in the well bore using standard geophysical logging techniques. End_of_Article - Last_Page 787------------
