Climates in Hawaii during glacial periods were relatively wetter and cooler than interglacial
climates. Eolian deposits indicate that northeasterly trade winds predominated during glacial …

The upper kilometer of the Hawaiian Scientific Drilling Program core consists of lavas that
were emplaced subaerially, burying paleosols. These paleosols were preserved with …

Four glacial drifts that are interstratified with lava flows and tephra layers on the upper
slopes of Mauna Kea demonstrate that an ice cap formed repeatedly at the summit of the …

We evaluated changes in temperature and precipitation associated with climate change,
subsidence, and erosion on a chronosequence of sites across Hawaii. The sites range in …

Evidence obtained from archaeological and ancillary studies of paleoenvironment suggests
that the prehistoric Polynesians had a far greater impact on the Hawaiian ecosystem than …

Hawaiian archaeologists have in the past rarely offered any synthesis or framework for
cultural adaptation in the islands, despite the years of work done in Hawaii. Emory and …

High volcanoes on two of the southeastern Hawaiian Islands experienced Pleistocene ice-
cap glaciations. Drifts of three glaciations on the upper slopes of Mauna Kea (4206m) are …

The present isohyetal (equal rainfall) pattern of Oahu, Hawaii is related mathematically to
the topographic surface. By raising or lowering sea level in accordance with geologic …

This volume brings together recent primary source materials on major themes in Hawaiian
natural history: the geological processes that have built the Islands; the physical factors that …

Archaeological, geomorphological, and botanical research was conducted in Kahana
Valley, O'ahu, Hawai'i to test a model of early Hawaiian utilization of the physical …
