Trace element abundances of high-MgO glasses from Kilauea, Mauna Loa and Haleakala volcanoes, Hawaii
We performed an ion-microprobe study of eleven high-MgO (6.7–14.8 wt%) tholeiite glasses from the Hawaiian volcanoes Kilauea, Mauna Loa and Haleakala. We determined the rare earth (RE), high field strength, a...

Role of olivine cumulates in destabilizing the flanks of Hawaiian volcanoes
The south flank of Kilauea Volcano is unstable and has the structure of a huge landslide; it is one of at least 17 enormous catastrophic landslides shed from the Hawaiian Islands. Mechanisms previously propose...

Ages, rare-earth element enrichment, and petrogenesis of tholeiitic and alkalic basalts from Kahoolawe Island, Hawaii
Kahoolawe Island, Hawaii (18×11 km), is a basaltic shield volcano with caldera-filling lavas, seven identified postshield vents, and at least two occurrences of apparent rejuvenated-stage eruptive. We examined...

Petrology of Hualalai volcano, Hawaii: Implication for mantle composition
Hualalai is one of five volcanoes whose eruptions built the island of Hawaii. The historic 1800–1801 flows and the analyzed prehistoric flows exposed at the surface are alkalic basalts except for a trachyte co...
