Synopsis Evolution in Hawaii by : National Academy of Sciences
As both individuals and societies, we are making decisions today that will have profound consequences for future generations. From preserving Earth's plants and animals to altering our use of fossil fuels, none of these decisions can be made wisely without a thorough understanding of life's history on our planet through biological evolution. Companion to the best selling title Teaching About Evolution and the Nature of Science, Evolution in Hawaii examines evolution and the nature of science by looking at a specific part of the world. Tracing the evolutionary pathways in Hawaii, we are able to draw powerful conclusions about evolution's occurrence, mechanisms, and courses. This practical book has been specifically designed to give teachers and their students an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of evolution using exercises with real genetic data to explore and investigate speciation and the probable order in which speciation occurred based on the ages of the Hawaiian Islands. By focusing on one set of islands, this book illuminates the general principles of evolutionary biology and demonstrate how ongoing research will continue to expand our knowledge of the natural world.

Synopsis Characteristics of Hawaiian Volcanoes by : Taeko Jane Takahashi
Characteristics of Hawaiian Volcanoes establishes a benchmark for the currrent understanding of volcanism in Hawaii, and the articles herein build upon the elegant and pioneering work of Dutton, Jagger, Steams, and many other USGS and academic scientists. Each chapter synthesizes the lessons learned about a specific aspect of volcanism in Hawaii, based largely o continuous observation of eruptive activity and on systematic research into volcanic and earthquake processes during HVO's first 100 years.

Synopsis Hawaiian Volcanoes by : Rebecca Carey
Hawaiian Volcanoes, From Source to Surface is the outcome of an AGU Chapman Conference held on the Island of Hawai‘i in August 2012. As such, this monograph contains a diversity of research results that highlight the current understanding of how Hawaiian volcanoes work and point out fundamental questions requiring additional exploration. Volume highlights include: Studies that span a range of depths within Earth, from the deep mantle to the atmosphere Methods that cross the disciplines of geochemistry, geology, and geophysics to address issues of fundamental importance to Hawai‘i’s volcanoes Data for use in comparisons with other volcanoes, which can benefit from, and contribute to, a better understanding of Hawai‘i Discussions of the current issues that need to be addressed for a better understanding of Hawaiian volcanism Hawaiian Volcanoes, From Source to Surface will be a valuable resource not only for researchers studying basaltic volcanism and scientists generally interested in volcanoes, but also students beginning their careers in geosciences. This volume will also be of great interest to igneous petrologists, geochemists, and geophysicists.

Synopsis Exploring Geology on the Island of Oahu, A Field Guide to Important Geological Locations by : Michael Knight
This field guide to important geological locations describes the geology and volcanic significant at 39 stops on Oahu. It included a short introduction on how Hawaiian hotspot shield volcanoes formed and emerged from the sea floor. This is followed by the most current understanding of how the island of Oahu formed during the past 5 million years. This guidebook is a travel companion for residents and visitors alike that can easily be carried while you drive and hike to the many locations to see first-hand some of the mysteries geologists have uncovered as you explore our magical island. You will explore the geology of Oahu visiting numerous world-class locations and see many volcanic landforms present at our most informative geological locations. Following the overview of the geology and descriptions of the volcanic rock types found on Oahu we provide a brief overview of the typical life and demise of a Hawaiian hotspot volcano (Chapter 3) and an overview of Oahu's three main shield volcanoes (Chapter 4). Chapters 5 through 8 include the 39 stops depicted by detailed satellite images, topographic maps, high-quality photographs, plots, and illustrative figures that describe what you are looking at as you drive, hike, boat, canoe, walk to these readily accessible locations at your leisure.
