Emergence of the Loa Mantle Component in the Hawaiian Islands Based on the Geochemistry of Kauaʻi Shield‐Stage Basalts

Abstract Kauaʻi shield‐stage lavas are central to understanding the origin of the distinct Kea and Loa Hawaiian geochemical trends in Hawaiian basalts. These trends reflect two geochemically distinct sides in the Hawaiian plume, with Loa to the southwest and Kea to the northeast. The geochemistry an...
