Abstract
Predrilling environmental baseline studies and extensive ongoing comparative aerometry in volcanic and rift areas have made it possible to characterize the University Experimental Geothermal Well (HGP-A) as a low=Hg, low H2S emitter and to account for high levels of Hg in the environs of HGP-A in terms of natural events and process in Kilauea and the East Rift.
