For Sutton, It's Been A Gas!

Detailed Description

Jeff Sutton, who recently retired from the USGS, measured gas emissions during the March 2011 Kamoamoa fissure eruption on Kīlauea's East Rift Zone. Sutton, who served as a gas geochemist at the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory for 24 years, plans to continue working on Hawaiian volcanoes for a while longer as a USGS scientist emeritus.
