Oahu, pollen (Other Keyword)
1-4 (4 Records)
Eleven pollen samples were examined from sediments in three trenches in Area 3, Kaneohe Bay. Calibrated radiocarbon ages indicate that sediments range from AD 660-975 to AD 1270-1430. The stratigraphic pollen samples extend to layers that predate the oldest date and post-date the most recent date. Both wetlands and a dune landscape are noted within the area today. Pollen analysis of these samples concentrated on identification of vegetation associated with the inland and wetland stratigraphic...
POLLEN ANALYSIS AT LELEPAUA FISHPOND, HICKAM AIRFORCE BASE, PEARL HARBOR ESTUARY, OAHU, HAWAI'I (1998)
Four sediment samples recovered from depths ranging from 170 to 377 cm below the surface at Lelepaua Fishpond (site 50-80-13-82) were examined for pollen and foraminifera. This site is located near the entrance to Pearl Harbor Estuary, Oahu. Pollen samples were examined to identify vegetation surrounding the fishpond at the time of its use and confirm that these sediments represent fishpond sediments.
POLLEN AND CHARCOAL ANALYSIS IN MAKUA VALLEY, OAHU (1995)
Makua Valley is situated on the west side of the island of Oahu. This dry area is located in the leeward rain shadow of the Waianae Mountains. Modern vegetation includes primarily grass, which is maintained by annual burning. The surrounding slopes and ridges of the valley are forested with a variety of trees typical of leeward Hawai' i, including Kaa haole (Leucaena), Kiawe (Prosopis), and Kukul (Aleurites). Pollen and charcoal samples were examined from this column to provide a baseline...
STRATIGRAPHIC POLLEN ANALYSIS AT SYMPHONY PARK, HONOLULU (1995)
The Symphony Park area is located in a relatively low-lying area at the corner of Ward Avenue and Kapi'olani Boulevard, near downtown Honolulu and Kewalo Basin. Wetland deposits were noted below modern fill. These wetland deposits were cored for later sampling in the laboratory. Eighteen samples from the core were examined for pollen to provide information about both the local and generalized paleoenvironmental patters on this side of Oahu. Radiocarbon dates provide a basal age for this...
