Abstract The Hawaiian Ridge has long been a focus site for studying lithospheric flexure due to intraplate volcano loading, but crucial load and flexure details remain unclear. We …
A suite of lavas from Kosrae, Ponape and Chuuk islands, which are related to the Caroline hotspot, are characterized for Sr, Nd, Pb, Hf and He isotopic compositions and major and …
Most ocean island basalts sample an isotopically depleted mantle component, but the origin of this component is unclear. It may come from either the entrained upper mantle or from a …
Abstract The Hawaiian‐Emperor chain is the∼ 6,000 km long surface expression of the deeply sourced Hawaiian mantle plume active over the past∼ 81 Myr. The Hawaiian Islands …

Recent ocean-bottom geophysical surveys, dredging, and dives, which complement surface data and scientific drilling at the Island of Hawaii, document that evolutionary stages during …
For~ 82 million years, the Hawaiian‐Emperor chain volcanoes have sampled the Pacific mantle via the Hawaiian mantle plume, providing evidence that its composition varies on a …
Abstract The Hawaiian-Emperor chain, the surface expression of the Hawaiian mantle plume which has been active for at least 81 Ma, is divided into the Emperor Seamounts (81 …
