Linear chains of volcanic ocean islands are one of the most distinctive features on our
planet. The longest, the Hawaiian–Emperor Chain, has been active for more than 80 million …

Groundwater and seawater samples were collected from nearshore wells and offshore
along the Kona Coast of the Big Island of Hawaii to investigate rare earth element (REE) …

The customary practice for displaying REE abundances is to normalize them to chondritic
abundances and then to plot these normalized abundances in order of atomic number, Z …

Oceanic island basalts are targeted for geochemical study because they provide a direct
window into mantle composition and a wealth of information on the dynamics and …

Volcanism far from plate boundaries is often attributed to an underlying mantle plume,,,,,.
However, enigmatic observations of Hawaiian volcanism, such as variations in the volume of …

Kaua 'i lavas provide a unique opportunity to examine over 4· 5 Myr of magmatic history at
one location along the Hawaiian chain. New field, geochronological, petrological and …

The numerous chemical and isotopic studies of oceanic basalts have shaped our perception
of mantle geochemistry over the last six decades. As partial melts of Earth's mantle, basalts …

Oceanic island basalts sample mantle reservoirs that are isotopically and compositionally
heterogeneous. The Hawaiian–Emperor chain represents∼ 85 Myr of volcanism supplied …

Binary mixing is one of the most common ways of describing the relationships between
incompatible element concentrations and Sr–Nd–Pb isotopic ratios in oceanic basalts …

A thorough understanding of the internal structure of the Hawaiian plume conduit requires to
link geochemical observations of surface lavas to fluid dynamic simulations able to quantify …
