    Geomorphology 89 (2007) 70–83 www.elsevier.com/locate/geomorph Precontact vegetation and soil nutrient status in the shadow of Kohala Volcano, Hawaii ⁎ Oliver A. Chadwick a, , Eugene F. Kelly b, Sara C. Hotchkiss c, Peter M. Vitousek d a Department of Geography, University of California, Santa Barbara, CA 93106, USA b Department of Crop and Soil Science, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO 80523, USA c Department of Botany, University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI 53706, USA d Department of Biological Sciences, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305, USA Received 13 January 2005; received in revised form 25 July 2006; accepted 25 July 2006 Available online 2 October 2006 Abstract Humans colonized Hawaii about 1200 years ago and have progressively modified vegetation, particularly in mesic to dry 13 tropical forests. We use δ C to evaluate the contribution of C3 and C4 plants to deep soil organic matter to reconstruct pre-human contact vegetation patterns along a wet to dry climate transect on Kohala Mountain, Hawaii Island. Precontact vegetation assemblages fall into three distinct zones: a wet C3 dominated closed canopy forest where annual rainfall is N2000 mm, a dry C4 dominated grassland with annual rainfall b500 mm, and a broad transition zone between these communities characterized by either C3 trees with higher water-use efficiency than the rainforest trees or C3 trees with a small amount of C4 grasses intermixed. The likelihood of C4 grass understory decreases with increasing rainfall. We show that the total concentration of rock-derived nutrients in the b2-mm soil fraction differs in each of these vegetation zones.

  • Geology, Geochemistry and Earthquake History of Lō`Ihi Seamount, Hawai`I
    INVITED REVIEW Geology, Geochemistry and Earthquake History of Lō`ihi Seamount, Hawai`i Michael O. Garcia1*, Jackie Caplan-Auerbach2, Eric H. De Carlo3, M.D. Kurz4 and N. Becker1 1Department of Geology and Geophysics, University of Hawai`i, Honolulu, HI, USA 2U.S.G.S., Alaska Volcano Observatory, Anchorage, AK, USA 3Department of Oceanography, University of Hawai`i, Honolulu, HI, USA 4Department of Chemistry, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Woods Hole, MA, USA *Corresponding author: Tel.: 001-808-956-6641, FAX: 001-808-956-5521; email: [email protected] Key words: Loihi, seamount, Hawaii, petrology, geochemistry, earthquakes Abstract A half century of investigations are summarized here on the youngest Hawaiian volcano, Lō`ihi Seamount. It was discovered in 1952 following an earthquake swarm. Surveying in 1954 determined it has an elongate shape, which is the meaning of its Hawaiian name. Lō`ihi was mostly forgotten until two earthquake swarms in the 1970’s led to a dredging expedition in 1978, which recovered young lavas. This led to numerous expeditions to investigate the geology, geophysics, and geochemistry of this active volcano. Geophysical monitoring, including a real- time submarine observatory that continuously monitored Lō`ihi’s seismic activity for three months, captured some of the volcano’s earthquake swarms. The 1996 swarm, the largest recorded in Hawai`i, was preceded by at least one eruption and accompanied by the formation of a ~300-m deep pit crater, renewing interest in this submarine volcano. Seismic and petrologic data indicate that magma was stored in a ~8-9 km deep reservoir prior to the 1996 eruption.

Compare and contrast 3 common types of magma! 3. Describe volcanic gases and the role they play in explosive vs effusive eruptions! 4. Identify what gives a shield volcano its distinctive shape! What is causing this eruption? What factors influence its character? “A volcano is any landform from which lava, gas, or ashes, escape from underground or have done so in the past.” From Chapter 5: magma (and lava) can be felsic, intermediate, or mafic.

    / Lifestyle / #DeLuxe MAY 1, 2018 @ 10:02 AM 1,479 2 Free Issues of Forbes This Residential Resort For Billionaires On Hawaii Island Will Amaze You Carrie Coolidge , CONTRIBUTOR FULL BIO Opinions expressed by Forbes Contributors are their own. Courtesy of Four Seasons Resort Hualalai The Palm Grove swimming pool at the Four Seasons Resort Hualalai. One of Earl “Uncle Earl” Regidor’s unofficial duties as Ka`upulehu Cultural Center Manager at the Four Seasons Resort Hualālai is performing a blessing at home sites before ground is broken. Home buyers at the sprawling luxury residential development that surrounds the Four Seasons Resort Hualālai often invite Uncle Earl to perform the ancient blessing to consecrate the land---once the site of an ancient fishing village---before building a new home. The blessing, which is attended by the homeowner’s family and their contractor, consecrates the land out of respect for the Hawaiian people who lived there for centuries before them. “I do the blessing for the sake of asking permission and guidance,” explains Regidor, who performs another blessing once construction is completed in each room (or when an already existing home is purchased). This rich Hawaiian culture, in addition to a laid-back and relaxing lifestyle, family-oriented community and an extremely friendly staff, plays a large role in enticing people from around the world to invest in a home at Hualālai, the master-planned residential community and private club that is located on exclusive Kona- Kohala coast on the leeward side of Hawai`i Island.

The major element composition indicate that Hawaiian lavas (including shield of the glasses follows a systematic trend that and posterosional lavas) and other oceanic is related to the stage of evolution of the island basalts (OIB) evolved by mixing melts volcano. Glasses from Loihi Seamount (the from several geochemically distinct sources. youngest Hawaiian volcano) are enriched in Fe, However, the number and compositions of the Ca, Ti, Na, and K and depleted in Si and A1 mixing end-members and the relationship of these relative to the glasses from the other, older components to specific mantle sources remain volcanoes. Kilauea is intermediate in age and points of controversy (see Zindler and Hart its glasses are intermediate in composition [1986] for a review). The source for Hawaiian between those from Loihi and Mauna Loa, the tholelites apparently consists of two principal largest and oldest of the active Hawaiian components based on Pb, Sr and Nd isotope data tholeiitic volcanoes. The volatile contents [Tatsumoto, 1978; Tatsumoto et al., 1987; West (H20, GO2, S, F, G1) of the glasses from these et al., 1987].
