    .A 1 case-PR/ }*rciofft.;is Report (a) This eruption site on Mauna Loa Volcano was the main source of the voluminous lavas that flowed two- thirds of the distance to the town of Hilo (20 km). In the interior of the lava fountains, the white-orange color indicates maximum temperatures of about 1120°C; deeper orange in both the fountains and flows reflects decreasing temperatures (<1100°C) at edges and the surface. (b) High winds swept the exposed ridges, and the filter cannister was changed in the shelter of a p^hoehoc (lava) ridge to protect the sample from gas contamination. (c) Because of the high temperatures and acid gases, special clothing and equipment was necessary to protect the eyes. nose, lungs, and skin. Safety features included military flight suits of nonflammable fabric, fuil-face respirators that are equipped with dual acidic gas filters (purple attachments), hard hats, heavy, thick-soled boots, and protective gloves. We used portable radios to keep in touch with the Hawaii Volcano Observatory, where the area's seismic activity was monitored continuously. (d) Spatter activity in the Pu'u O Vent during the January 1984 eruption of Kilauea Volcano. Magma visible in the circular conduit oscillated in a piston-like fashion; spatter was ejected to heights of 1 to 10 m. During this activity, we sampled gases continuously for 5 hours at the west edge. Cover photo: This aerial view of Kilauea Volcano was taken in April 1984 during overflights to collect gas samples from the plume. The bluish portion of the gas plume contained a far higher density of fine-grained scoria (ash).

    ©Maren Murphy Ponds Vista Buena Chapter 3 Physical Environment Chapter 5 Chapter 4 Chapter 3 Chapter 2 Chapter 1 Human Biological Physical Management Introduction and Appendices Maps Environment Environment Environment Direction Background Malheur National Wildlife Refuge Comprehensive Conservation Plan Chapter 3. Physical Environment 3.1 Major Landforms Situated in the wide open spaces of the Harney Basin physiographic area, on the northern edge of the Great Basin, the Refuge centers on three shallow playa lakes, Malheur, Mud, and Harney. These lakes are located in the lowest portion of the Harney Basin and receive life-producing water from the surrounding hills and mountains. Most of the water reaching the lakes arrives in the spring as snow melts and flows southward down the Silvies River, northward in the Donner und Blitzen River (Blitzen River), and through the Silver Creek drainage from the northwest. With an average annual rain/snow fall of only 9 inches, a drought year can result in extremely dry conditions; the lakes can be reduced to a mere fraction of their former size or become alkali-covered playas. The area surrounding the lakes is relatively flat, so a 1-inch rise in the water level will put almost 3 square miles of adjacent land underwater. A year of extremely abundant rain and snow can force water to rise beyond the boundaries of the Refuge to cover surrounding lands, doubling or tripling the size of the marsh. In the mid-1980s three years of above-normal snow forced Malheur Lake beyond the refuge boundary; the lake grew from 67 square miles to more than 160 square miles.
