Hi Donald - how do the magma supply rates of the past century compare to the long -term average MSR, if you took the total volume of Kilauea and divided that by the age of the oldest Kilauean lavas? Would that long-term rate be about 0.1-0.2 km^3/yr? Or is the last century unusual with respect to this grand mean MSR? -Keith
Keith: Rather amazingly, the rate for the past 100 ka calculated by Lipman and Calvert (2013) is 0.1-0.2 km3/yr. In that sense, then, the MSR for the past century can be considered as the norm at Kilauea.
