- Summary:
- The study examined the Sr, Nd, and Pb isotopic evolution of lavas recovered from the Hawaii Scientific Drilling Project pilot hole. The oldest Mauna Kea lavas chemically and isotopically resemble Kilauea lavas but different from that of Mauna Loa in source composition and melting environment. Mauna Kea lavas derive from an isotopically more depleted source while Mauna Loa lavas form along the hot plume axis.
