Thousands of scientific papers, articles, and books have been published on Hawaiian volcanism dating back more than a century. The list below contains only a selected few to get interested readers started. For a more comprehensive listing, please see Wright, T.L., and Takahashi, T.J., 1998, Hawai‘i bibliographic database, Bulletin of Volcanology, v. 59, p. 276-280.
Updates to the Wright and Takahashi database are compiled and maintained in a bibliography related to the Geology of Hawai‘i.
