The rugged topography and high rainfall intensity typical of the main Hawaiian Islands results in rapidly changing hydrographic conditions that present an opportunity to study the spatial and temporal evolution of material as it travels through the watershed to the ocean. Because the island of Oahu, and Honolulu in particular, have been extensively urbanized during the second half of the 20th century, transport of suspended particulate matter (SPM) during storms represents an important vehicle for the mobilization of anthropogenic material deposited throughout the watersheds during the past half century. Rainstorms generated by orographic uplift of warm and moist tradewinds often occur at night, when a rapid response and deployment of manual sampling equipment is difficult at best. Additionally, because the response of streams to storms in Oahu watersheds is rapid (e.g., Fig 2), automated sampling is imperative to capture samples from the representative limbs of rapidly changing hydrographs.

    A TEACHER’S GUIDE TO HAWAIIAN BIRDS A COMPANION TO EDUCATIONAL POSTERS: FOREST BIRDS OF HAWAI‘I and OPEN COUNTRY AND WETLAND BIRDS OF HAWAI‘I PRODUCED BY HAWAI‘I DEPARTMENT OF LAND AND NATURAL RESOURCES DIVISION OF FORESTRY AND WILDLIFE GLOSSARY Adaptation: A change in plant or animal that increases its chances for survival. Adaptive radiation: Extensive speciation from a common ancestral population. Alien: In the text, this refers to plants or animals that were introduced to Hawai‘i by people. Asymmetrical: When corresponding parts, such as the upper and lower beak of a bird, exhibit differences in size, shape, or relative position. This is seen in the crossed beak of the Hawai‘i Akepa. ‘Aumakua: Household or personal god in Hawaiian culture. Degrade: To reduce in quality or value. Disharmonic biota: A fl ora and fauna lacking many of the plants and animals found on continents. (Many plants and animals that one might expect to fi nd in a continental environment did not reach Hawai‘i due to the islands extreme isolation.) Diurnal: The name given to creatures active during the day. Drepanids: Classifi cation of birds that feed primarily on nectar, the Hawaiian honeycreepers are in this group. Endangered species: Government agencies list a species as endangered (under the Endangered Species Act) when it is threatened with extinction in the foreseeable future. Endemic: Native to a particular place and found nowhere else. Extinct: A species that no longer exists. Fall-out: When seabirds become tired, disoriented and fall to the ground due to an unnatural attraction to bright, man-made lights.
