What the field records

1
Trace the crust
ʻĀʻā clinker fractures follow predictable patterns across the flow field.
2
Measure the void
Vesicle density maps gas escape paths from 1,200°C to solid basalt.
3
Read the color
Oxidized scoria signals iron content, not surface weathering.
4
Map the ridge
Pāhoehoe rope lines preserve flow direction at millimeter resolution.
