To date, project successes include that we have (1) identified a depth-dependent series of alteration zones within the hyaloclastite layers, (2) determined the geochemical mass balance associated with the alteration of the hyaloclastites, and (3) demonstrated that the hyaloclastites represent a mechanically weak zone on the flanks of Hawaiian volcanoes and which may be contributing to edifice collapse. The latter results are significant for the goals of iSERVO because flank collapse of Hawaiian volcanoes is known to trigger tsunami. > 2003 Walton, A.W. and Schiffman, P.
