Steepest descent paths now available for Google Ea

[The_Saints]

I recently worked with Dr. Jim Kauahikaua at HVO to have the steepest descent paths on Kilauea converted to a KMZ, which is a file that you can open in Google Earth. This will overlay the steepest descent paths over the map in Google Earth.

Using the Google Earth Pro features, you can overlay this with lot lines, as well as other useful information such as roadways.

The Steepest Descent KMZ is available at http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2007/1264/ with the original publication.

Thank you for doing this.

You're welcome. However, let me clarify. When I said that I "worked with" Jim, I really mean that I identified the need, and then groveled until he did it. All of the thanks should go to Dr. Kauahikaua
