Geology of the eight major islands of the State of Hawaii, a useful guide to its geologic setting and history, ground- and surface-water resources, economic deposits, and landslide or volcanic hazards. Maps the lithologic characteristics and distribution of geologic deposits and their stratigraphic relationships, including radiometric ages and geochemical analyses compiled from findings published over the past 100 years. Data compiled in 2007 by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) from multiple sources.
