	Koolau Range - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Koʻolau Range is a name given to the fragmented remnant of the eastern or windward shield volcano of the Hawaiian island of Oʻahu.
		It is not a mountain range in the normal sense, because it was formed as a single mountain called Koʻolau Volcano (koʻolau means "windward" in Hawaiian, cognate of the toponym Tokelau).
		The modern Koʻolau mountain forms Oʻahu's windward coast and rises behind the leeward coast city of Honolulu — on its leeward slopes and valleys are located most of Honolulu's residential neighborhoods.

	Jack London : Koolau the Leper
		Koolau had been driven to this refuge from the lower valley by the beach.
		Outside, Koolau found his people in a panic and already beginning to climb the goat-trail that led out of the gorge and on among the jumbled heights and chasms.
		Koolau forgot where he was, forgot everything, as he lay and marvelled at the strange persistence of these haoles who would have their will though the sky fell in.

	Koolau the Leper
		The lepers obeyed, crawling away to their lairs in the cliff, until only Koolau remained, sitting motionless in the moonlight, a statue, his rifle across his knees, as he gazed far down to the boats landing on the beach.
		Koolau called the boy down and left him with a spare gun with which to guard the passage.
		It was given to Koolau to taste a deeper bitterness, for they hurled imprecations and insults at him as they went by; and the panting hag who brought up the rear, halted, and, with skinny, harpy-claws extended, shaking her snarling death's head from side to side, she laid a curse upon him.

		Koolau lavas are important to an understanding of the origin and evolution of the Hawaiian plume and the mantle.
		In particular, Koolau lavas appear to provide the strongest evidence for deep mantle recycling of crust (sediments and basalt), although this interpretation remain controversial and is based on sampling only the uppermost veneer of the volcano.
		It is important to establish the longevity of the distinctive Koolau geochemical signature by sampling deeper and older lavas from the volcano.

	Hawaiian History Moments
		Ko‘olau, a cowboy, trainer of horses, and expert marksman, was born in Kekaha, Kaua‘i in 1862.
		The authorities, who earlier had told Ko‘olau that his wife could accompany him into exile on Moloka‘i as a kokua, a helper, then told him she couldn’t.
		Ko‘olau refused to be parted from Pi‘ilani and vowed he would never be taken alive.

	Koolau the Leper by Jack London:
		But now, as Koolau had said, he was a hunted rat, a creature outside the law, sunk so deep in the mire of human horror that he was above the law as well as beneath it.
		In little clearings grew the wild arrowroot; on stone terraces, filled with soil scrapings, were the taro patches and the melons; and in every open space where the sunshine penetrated were papaia trees burdened with their golden fruit.
		Suddenly Koolau was startled wide awake by the sound of an explosion on the beach.

		He tells me that a man named Koolau took his family into the valley of Kalalau to escape deportation to the leper colony on the island of Molokai.
		What escapes him is that Koolau was a local hero, a man who faced all odds because of pride and morality.
		Koolau convinced them to escape the fate of the leper colony at Molokai and follow into the woods in the hope of finding peace.

		These plants may be different enough genetically from the Ko'olau plants that it is important to maintain genetic variability and keep these two populations separate.
		The focus for GSN in the Ko'olau Mountains has been to monitor known individual, identify its sex, survey for additional populations and collect fruit and/or suckers from as many healthy individuals as possible.

		While the cool, water-hording Koolau peaks suck the winds of their moisture, the Waianae Range for the most part remains considerably warmer and drier.

	Hawaii: Searching For Koolau The Leper - Pology Magazine
		At the Kauai library there are two biographies of Koolau written by men who claim to be close to the family of the famous leper.
		Texeira treats Koolau as if he were a saint—taking care of the tired and sick, risking his life for others and preaching peace in the face of impending violence.
		But in all versions Koolau is the good guy and is forced to move further into the vastness of the valley, away from his attempted utopia, in order to escape those seeking revenge for his killing of the sheriff.

		Koolau tholeiite is unusual in that they frequently contain orthopyroxene phenocryst or microphenocryst (appeared in 60% of the 250 rock specimen we examined) as well as olivine (70%) and plagioclase (44%).
		A sharp transition in lava chemistry and isotope ratios was observed at a low stratigraphic horizon of Koolau volcano (first noted by Jackson et al., 1999) where high-silica Koolau type lava changes to mildly silica-enriched normal Hawaiian tholeiite (similar to Mauna Loa and Kilauea).
		If they were formed as restite at the thoeiite magma stage of Koolau volcano, their features in trace elements and isotope must have been acquired later by infiltration of alkalic melt.

		Towards the end of Koolau's shield building stage 1.8 million years ago, the northeastern flank of the volcano collapsed in a giant submarine landslide.
		The steep cliffs, or pali, seen on the windward side of the island is the eroded fault scarp of this massive landslide.
		The craters of Hanauma Bay are thus made up of ash, pieces of Koolau basalt, and fragments of the old reef, and not layers of lava.

	Introduction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The Koolau lavas are crucial in understanding the nature of the Hawaiian plume because of the near primitive Sr, Nd, Pb, and Hf isotopic ratios (Roden et al., 1984).
		The nature of the Koolau component and its implications for understanding the evolution of mantle plumes, and the composition of the deep mantle beneath Hawaii remains unresolved largely because all Hawaiian lavas are mixtures of plume melts with oceanic lithospheric material.
		The HV lavas have isotopic signature that is slightly enriched relative to MORB (Figure 2) and is in sharp contrast with the Koolau shield basalts.

	The Koolau component: recycled lithosphere or primitive deep mantle (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		In Hawaii, the "Koolau component" (and its equivalents on other islands, Lanai and Kahoolawe) is the most radiogenic end-member, has near-primitive isotopic ratios, is generally believed to originate in the deep mantle and hence is of paramount importance in understanding the sources of plume magmatism.
		Whereas some authors suggest that the "Koolau component" represents a "primordial" (i.e., undegassed, undifferentiated) mantle reservoir, others propose that it is largely a "recycled" old subducted (slab?) material, mixed perhaps with some deep, lower mantle.
		Note that the "Koolau component" is largely known on the basis of isotopic data on Koolau shield lavas, which likely contain a mixed plume-lithosphere-asthenosphere signature.

	KOOLAU SHIELD BASALT AS XENOLITHS ENTRAINED DURING REJUVENATED-STAGE ERUPTIONS: PERSPECTIVES ON MAGMA MIXING (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Because Koolau subaerial shield lavas represent a Hawaiian geochemical 'endmember', and submarine shield lavas have compositions with some affinities to Mauna Loa and Kilauea, we analyzed 28 xenolithic basalts from Salt Lake and Koko Head cones to establish how these seemingly random samplings of the Koolau profile compare to established Koolau geochemistry.
		Highlights include that the rejuvenated-stage tuffaceous eruptions entrained largely upper Koolau shield lavas, as the tholeiitic basalt samples (8.3 to 5.8 wt.% MgO) have, with one exception, overall compositions that overlap those of Koolau subaerial lavas.
		The Koolau magma-mixing history resembles that of Kilauea, and is unlike the 'steady-state' mixing known for Mauna Loa.

		The Waianae aquifer in the Waianae Volcanics and the Koolau aquifer in the Koolau Basalt are the two principal volcanic-rock aquifers on Oahu.
