The 1991-1992 NSF Young Scholars Program at the University of Hawai'i: Science and Engineering Studies of the Ala Wai Canal, an Urban Estuary in Honolulu

Fryer, Patricia (University of Hawaii Press, 1995-10)

In 1991 and 1992 the School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology of the University of Hawai'i at Manoa offered a summer science and engineering enrichment program to a total of 75 Hawai'i students entering 10th ...

Foraminiferal Ecology, Ala Wai Canal, Hawai'i

Resig, Johanna M; Ming, Kristine; Miyake, Scott (University of Hawaii Press, 1995-10)

The foraminiferal fauna of the Ala Wai Canal, described for the first time here, is controlled principally by the canal's shallow coastal location, normal marine salinity range, sedimentation from a major point source, ...
Geochemistry, Mineralogy, and Stable Isotopic Results from Ala Wai Estuarine Sediments: Records of Hypereutrophication and Abiotic Whitings

Glenn, CR; Rajan, S; McMurtry, GM; Benaman, J (University of Hawaii Press, 1995-10)

The geochemistry, mineralogy, and stable isotopic composition of sediments cored from the Ala Wai Canal, described for the first time here, provide a record of past changes in salinity, oxygenation, and eutrophication ...
Heavy Metal Anomalies in Coastal Sediments of O'ahu, Hawai'i

McMurtry, Gary M; Wiltshire, John C; Kauahikaua, James P (University of Hawaii Press, 1995-10)

Interelement ratios to Cr in surface samples of coastal sediments and watershed soils of Oah'u, Hawai'i, show widespread, anomalous concentrations of Pb, Cd, and Hg when compared with basalt, the ubiquitous rock type. ...
Isotopic Clues to Sources of Natural and Anthropogenic Lead in Sediments and Soils from O'ahu, Hawai'i

Spencer, Khalil J; De Carlo, Eric H; McMurtry, Gary M (University of Hawaii Press, 1995-10)

Stable Pb isotopes, Pb elemental concentrations, and, for some samples, Nd and Sr isotopes and concentrations have been analyzed on soils and on stream and estuarine sediments to evaluate the provenance of major inputs ...
Mercury Accumulation in Sediments of the Ala Wai Canal and in Soils and Stream Sediments of the Central Honolulu Watershed

Raine, Laurence M; Siegel, Barbara Z; McMurtry, Gary M (University of Hawaii Press, 1995-10)

In this study we determined the historical trend of both natural and anthropogenic sources of mercury deposition as preserved in anoxic estuarine sediments of the Ala Wai Canal, an estuary situated within a heavily urbanized ...
Mineral Assemblages of the Sediments of the Ala Wai Canal and Its Drainage Basins, O'ahu, Hawai'i

Fan, Pow-Foong; Ng, Roanna; Remular, Deanna (University of Hawaii Press, 1995-10)

To understand the origin of the mineralogy of the sediments in the Ala Wai Canal, 20 soil and stream sediment samples were collected from Manoa, Palolo, and Makiki Valleys. X-ray diffraction analysis was used to determine ...
Modeling Sediment Accumulation and Soil Erosion with 137Cs and 210Pb in the Ala Wai Canal and Central Honolulu Watershed, Hawai'i

McMurtry, Gary M; Snidvongs, Anond; Glenn, Craig R (University of Hawaii Press, 1995-10)

Radiochemical studies of sediments from the Ala Wai Canal, an urban estuary in Honolulu, and of soils and stream sediments from the central Honolulu watershed were undertaken to investigate the sediment accumulation history ...
Net Phytoplankton of the Ala Wai Canal, O'ahu, Hawai'i

Beach, Kevin S; Harris, Robert; Holsomback, Michelle; Rabago, Melissa; Smith, Celia M (University of Hawaii Press, 1995-10)

The Ala Wai Canal currently possesses a diverse and differentially distributed phytoplankton community that includes a minimum of 20 diatom genera, four dinoflagellate genera, and one cyanophyte genus. The diatom ...
Records of Lead and Other Heavy Metal Inputs to Sediments of the Ala Wai Canal, O'ahu, Hawai'i

De Carlo, Eric H; Spencer, Khalil J (University of Hawaii Press, 1995-10)

In this paper we present depth profiles of selected transition metals and major constituents in four sediment cores recovered from the Ala Wai Canal, a small drainage estuary in Honolulu, Hawai'i. Our study documents the ...
Scientific Studies and History of the Ala Wai Canal, an Artificial Tropical Estuary in Honolulu

Glenn, Craig R; McMurtry, Gary M (University of Hawaii Press, 1995-10)

Fifteen studies of the Ala Wai Canal, O'ahu, Hawai'i, initially were spawned by two federally funded summer research programs designed to introduce high-school students from around the state of Hawai'i to the ...
