Abstract
The results of 13 self potential profiles performed on the island of Maui, Hawaii, were compared with elevation, surface geology, and manmade objects located along each profile. With the exception of two anomalies, all features observed in the Maui profiles can be explained by either varying surface geology, streaming potential associated with topography or man made objects. The two observed anomalies appear to be related to topography; however, they are of the wrong polarity associated with normal Hawaiian streaming potentials.
