Science Data Dump Versus Scientific Story
I. States a topic without a motive
II. Describes method and/or data but doesn’t explain relevance, build forward, or connect successive ideas
III. Lists results and gives interpretations, but doesn’t show a progression of thought or relate back to the main point
IV. Conclusions stated but sound redundant (not reiterative), haven’t been well developed, or not memorable

Gravity varies over the earth due to variations in mass
Rocks of different types have different densities
Gravity is measured in mGal or 1 millionth of a G-force
Gravity measurements over the Pali will reflect variations in elevation & density

Conclusions Conclusions
I. Gravity decreases with elevation and increases with density
II. Bouguer gravity anomaly is corrected for predictable topographic effects
III. We can model gravity by considering simple solutions of different geometric shapes.
IV. A large dense crustal body exists beneath Kauilua. In fact its about as large as Kilaeua’s magma chamber

III. Results and interpretations, show a logical progression of thought or relate back to the main point. Also, shortcomings are acknowledged.
IV. Conclusions reiterate key points, have been well developed, AND are memorable

Gravity reveals, otherwise hidden, deep heterogeneity
Intrusive rocks near- & off-shore Kailua are evidence for ancient Koolau magma chamber
Magma chamber marks the center of the volcano and its size reflects processes of magma plumbing & storage in Hawaiian shields

Tens of km
-Off-shore distance not well constrained & requires off-shore data -Off-shore distance not well constrained & requires off-shore data
-Given 2D approximation, 7 km is minimum thickness. Much thicker than Kilauea’s active magma chamber but comparable to total thickness of frozen intrusives.

-Perhaps hot/active chamber is only the thin shallowest part, over a taller column of intrusive rocks [Kauahikaua, 2000]?
-Does shield size or height relate to magma chamber size?

• GG304 Pali-Kailua survey reveals an increase in Bouguer gravity toward Kailua by 60-70 mGal
• This is explained by a dense (2950-3050 kg/m3) rock at least 7 km in thickness with southern edge starting in Kailua
• Koolau intrusive complex extends deep, comparable to total intrusive thickness beneath Kilauea Caldera
