Sharp 9 Berkeley Geochronology Center, 2455 Ridge Road, Berkeley, California, USA, 94709 10 [1] Hualalai Volcano is unique among Hawaiian volcanoes in that it possesses a relatively high 11 proportion of evolved, trachytic lavas that were erupted at the beginning of the alkalic, postshield phase 12 of volcanism. These evolved lavas yield insights into magma sources, magma supply rates, and the 13 evolution of the subvolcanic magmatic plumbing system at this time. Trachyte lavas are exposed at the 14 Puu Waawaa pumice dome and Puu Anahulu flow, as blocks in maars on the south flank of the volcano, 40 39 15 and as flows in water wells drilled on the west flank of Hualalai. New Ar/ Ar dates show that the Puu 16 Waawaa and Puu Anahulu complex is 114 ka, a block from the Waha Pele maar is 103 ka, and water 17 well trachytes range from 107 to 92 ka in age, indicating a range for trachyte volcanism of 20 ka. Nd and 18 Pb isotopic compositions overlap with younger alkalic basalts from Hualalai but are distinct from 19 Hualalai tholeiitic basalts and Pacific mid-ocean ridge basalts, linking the trachytes to alkalic parental 20 magmas that underwent extensive crystallization to yield trachytic residual magmas. Both Sr and O 21 isotopic ratios are higher in the trachytes than in Hualalai alkalic lavas, which is best explained by 22 reaction with, or assimilation of, altered Hualalai shield basalts at shallow depth. Major, trace element, 23 and isotopic variations between trachytes are consistent with their evolution by fractional crystallization 24 from a Puu Anahulu parent. The short time gap between the end of tholeiitic volcanism (<133 ka) and 25 the onset of trachytic, alkalic volcanism and the lack of deep-origin xenoliths place the magma reservoir 26 within which the trachytes evolved rapidly at shallow (<7 km) depth. Whereas Mauna Kea and Kohala 27 volcanoes produced small volumes of highly evolved lavas as magma supply rates dwindled through the 28 postshield stage, postshield magma intrusion rates at Hualalai were lowest during trachyte formation and 29 increased through a more recent period of alkalic basalt eruptions. Subtle rare earth element and 30 radiogenic isotopic distinctions between trachytes from the three localities indicate that the roof of the 31 shallow magma reservoir may have been irregular, allowing some trachytes to evolve independently from 32 others. 33 Components: 14,506 words, 9 figures, 5 tables, 1 dataset. 34 Keywords: Hawaii; magma chamber; magma evolution; postshield stage; geochronology. 35 Index Terms: 3640 Mineralogy and Petrology: Igneous petrology; 3655 Mineralogy and Petrology: Major element 36 composition; 3670 Mineralogy and Petrology: Minor and trace element composition. 37 Received 27 March 2003; Revised 25 July 2003; Accepted 28 July 2003; Published XX Month 2003.

  • Topographic History of the Maui Nui Complex, Hawai'i, and Its Implications for Biogeography1
    Topographic History ofthe Maui Nui Complex, Hawai'i, and Its Implications for Biogeography 1 Jonathan Paul Price 2,4 and Deborah Elliott-Fisk3 Abstract: The Maui Nui complex of the Hawaiian Islands consists of the islands of Maui, Moloka'i, Lana'i, and Kaho'olawe, which were connected as a single landmass in the past. Aspects of volcanic landform construction, island subsi­ dence, and erosion were modeled to reconstruct the physical history of this complex. This model estimates the timing, duration, and topographic attributes of different island configurations by accounting for volcano growth and subsi­ dence, changes in sea level, and geomorphological processes. The model indi­ cates that Maui Nui was a single landmass that reached its maximum areal extent around 1.2 Ma, when it was larger than the current island of Hawai'i. As subsi­ dence ensued, the island divided during high sea stands of interglacial periods starting around 0.6 Ma; however during lower sea stands of glacial periods, islands reunited. The net effect is that the Maui Nui complex was a single large landmass for more than 75% of its history and included a high proportion of lowland area compared with the contemporary landscape. Because the Hawaiian Archipelago is an isolated system where most of the biota is a result of in situ evolution, landscape history is an important detertninant of biogeographic pat­ terns. Maui Nui's historical landscape contrasts sharply with the current land­ scape but is equally relevant to biogeographical analyses. THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS present an ideal logic histories that can be reconstructed more setting in which to weigh the relative influ­ easily and accurately than in most regions.

  • A Prodromus of the Water Bear Fauna of Haleakala National Park
    A PRODROMUS OF THE WATER BEAR FAUNA OF HALEAKALA NATIONAL PARK Samuel M. Gon III Department of Entomology University of Hawai'i Honolulu, Hawai'i 96822 Robert A. Kimsey and Robert O. Schuster Department of Entomology University of California Davis, California 95616 Mark A. Willis Department of Entomology University of California Riverside, California 92507 ABSTRACT: The terrestrial meiofauna of the Hawaiian islands is almost completely unknown to science. Water bears (Tardigrada) represent a phylum that seems preadapted for long distance dispersal to the Hawaiian islands, and here we present, for the first time, 31 species in 10 genera and four families. The diversity of species in an area smaller than 50 square miles means that the Haleakala site is the most tardigrade­ rich location yet found on the planet. These species occupy a highly specialized niche in the Central Crater District of Haleakala National Park that involves alpine and subalpine cryptogams subject to extremes of temperature and desiccation. Several of the Hawaiian species are capable of anhydrobiosis, which is probably the mechanism that allows their occupation of alpine habitats. We present arguments that suggest that the richest habitats for Hawaiian water bears will be in subalpine and alpine settings of Maui and Hawai'i. 15 INTRODUCTION The biota of the Hawaiian islands attracts biologists because of its diversity. We have all came to expect new and exciting things here; new species being among the more engaging discoveries. We report here a first glimpse of a fascinating phylum that has until now passed generally unnoticed in Hawaiian biology. The phylum is Tardigrada, comprised of small (50 to 1200 micron) creatures usually called water bears because of their appearance and deliberate "pawing" form of locomotion.

People who live on or near active volcanoes can benefit greatly from clear, scientific information about the volcanic and seismic hazards of the area. This booklet provides such information for the residents of Hawaii so they may effectively deal with the special geologic hazards of the island. Identifying and evaluating possible geologic hazards is one of the principal roles of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and its Hawaiian Volcano Observatory. When USGS scientists recognize a potential hazard, such as an impend­ ing eruption, they notify the appropriate govern­ ment officials, who in turn are responsible for advising the public to evacuate certain areas or to take other actions to insure their safety.
