  Abstract

We report Sr, Nd, and Pb isotope compositions for 17 bulk-rock samples from the submarine Hana Ridge, Haleakala volcano, Hawaii, collected by three dives by ROV Kaiko during a joint Japan-US Hawaiian cruise in 2001. The Sr, Nd, and Pb isotope ratios for the submarine Hana Ridge lavas are similar to those of Kilauea lavas. This contrasts with the isotope ratios from the subaerial Honomanu lavas of the Haleakala shield, which are similar to Mauna Loa lavas or intermediate between the Kilauea and Mauna Loa fields. The observation that both the Kea and Loa components coexist in individual shields is inconsistent with the interpretation that the location of volcanoes within the Hawaiian chain controls the geographical distribution of the Loa and Kea trend geochemical characteristics. Isotopic and trace element ratios in Haleakala shield lavas suggest that a recycled oceanic crustal gabbroic component is present in the mantle source. The geochemical characteristics of the lavas combined with petrological modeling calculations using trace element inversion and pMELTS suggest that the melting depth progressively decreases in the mantle source during shield growth, and that the proportion of the recycled oceanic gabbroic component sampled by the melt is higher in the later stages of Hawaiian shields as the volcanoes migrate away from the central axis of the plume.

Keywords: submarine Hana Ridge; isotope composition; melting depth; Hawaiian mantle plume.
