Ayala, Monica. "Climate Variability from 1980 to 2018 and its Effect on Wind Directions, Wind Speeds, and Vog Dispersal in Hawaii." Digital Commons @ East Tennessee State University, 2020. https://dc.etsu.edu/etd/3776.
Full textAbstract:
Wind patterns in the Pacific Ocean fluctuate seasonally, annually, and decadally, resulting in changes in the dispersal of volcanic smog (vog) across the Hawaiian Islands. A variety of synoptic-scale weather patterns can affect the Islands, creating variability in the direction and intensity of wind patterns. Recent changes in wind profiles were analyzed to identify possible patterns that could influence and increase the dispersion of vog over time on Hawai’i Island and the other Hawaiian Islands to the northwest. Historically, Northeast Trade Winds prevailed for much of the year, shifting vog into the Pacific Ocean southwest of Hawaii and away from the state’s principal population centers, but Northeast Trade Winds have shown a 20+% reduction over the past several decades. An increase in the southerly source of prevailing wind increased the frequency and intensity of vog and its impacts on the environment and health and well-being of people across the Islands.

Full textAbstract:
En traitant de l’histoire coloniale des Hawai‘i et de la Californie à partir de 1778, cette thèse étudie de la transformation de la coutume hawaïenne he‘e nalu en un système surf mondial. L’analyse se demande s’il y a eu rupture ou continuité du surf hawaïen au XIXe siècle, et quelles ont été les modalités de sa diffusion en tant que système mondial surf au XXIe siècle. Pour répondre à ce problème, ce travail a retenu trois méthodes d’investigations : une analyse comparative des journaux de bords des voyageurs vers l’archipel des Hawai‘i avec la presse hawaïenne au XIXe siècle ; la conduite de cinquante entretiens semi-directifs, pour saisir les enjeux de l’appropriation californienne du surf après 1945 ; et une observation participante multi-site de trente mois aux Hawai‘i et en Californie, entre 2009 et 2016, afin de dégager les modalités contemporaines de l’historicisation du surf. Au final, trois conclusions principales ont été dégagées à partir de ces données. D’abord, l’introduction des Hawai‘i dans le système monde au XIXe siècle a dynamisé la naissance d’une identité nationale autochtone, qui a réaffirmé les coutumes traditionnelles, comme le surf. Ensuite, avec l’avènement du tourisme balnéaire au XXe siècle, les Hawai‘i se sont imposés comme un modèle touristique, reposant sur la mise en scène et l’appropriation occidentale du surf. À cet égard, Waikīkī est un cas d’école, et son schéma de développement s’est reproduit en Californie, comme à Huntington Beach. Enfin, à partir des années 1950, le surf s’est exporté dans le monde grâce à l’émergence de sa subculture et de son sport professionnel, aux médias de masse, et à la démocratisation du tourisme balnéaireDealing with the colonial history of Hawai‘i and California from 1778, this dissertation focus on the transformation of the Hawaiian custom he‘e nalu into a global surf system. This analysis asks if there a break or a continuity of Hawaiian surfing in the 19th century, and what are the terms and conditions of its diffusion as a global surf system in the 21st century. Three investigating methods have been applied: an analysis of traveling literature in Hawai‘i, compared with a study of Hawaiian newspapers in the 19th century ; a recording of fifty semi-directed interviews to grasp issues related to appropriating surfing in California after 1945 ; and a multi-sited participant observation for thirty months in Hawai‘i and California, between 2009 and 2016, to found out about the contemporary historicization of surfing. Three main conclusions emerged from this data analysis. First, the introduction of Hawai‘i in the world system in the 19th century fostered the birth of a Hawaiian national identity, that reaffirmed traditional customs, such as surfing. Then, with the advent of seaside tourism in the 20th century, Hawai‘i became a touristic model, based on staging surfing and its appropriation by the West. To this regard, Waikīkī is a popular case study, and its development pattern has been reproduced in Californian cities, such as Huntington Beach. Eventually, from the 1950s, surfing has been exported to the world, thanks to the growth of its subculture and professional sport, mass media, and the democratization of seaside tourism

Garrison, Geoffrey Hjorth. "Holocene sedimentary and aquatic biogeochemical responses reflected in Ordy Pond, Oahʻu, Hawai'i, and, contemporary modeling of submarine groundwater discharge in Kahana Bay, Oahʻu, Hawaiʻi." Thesis, University of Hawaii at Manoa, 2002. http://hdl.handle.net/10125/3021.
Full textAbstract:
This dissertation explores aquatic geochemistry in two settings on O'ahu. Ordy Pond biogeochemistry responds rapidly to environmental changes, while Kahana Bay is influenced by significant groundwater and surface water influx and mixing with coastal ocean water. Thus, Ordy Pond is a better tool for studying Oahu's paleoenvironments, and Kahana Bay demonstrates the applicability of natural chemical tracers to quantify submarine groundwater discharge (SGD). Work in Ordy Pond consisted of modern water column and particulate production time-series analyses, and sediment core study. Air temperature changes appeared to control the seasonal water chemistry. When the pond was thermally stratified in the spring/summer, epilimnion primary productivity increased dramatically as indicated by dissolved O2, dissolved inorganic carbon, S13CDIC, and particulate production rates. Once the density gradient waned, the anoxic hypolimnion mixed with the epilimnion, organic matter productivity fell, and surface waters became suboxic to anoxic. Primary productivity is believed to have been controlled by the availability of sunlight; the longer daily photoperiod during stratification resulted in greater organic matter production, while greater mixing in winter reduced the photoperiod, increased phytoplankton respiration, and reduced organic matter production. The carbonate mineral flux increased during elevated primary productivity due to increased carbonate mineral saturation states. Modern particulate production closely reflected the water chemistry, and the biogeochemical processes in the modern pond were used to interpret the Holocene environmental history of the area through analysis of pond sediments. The sediments revealed three dramatic paleoenvironmental events: 1) the most recent post-glacial sea level rise around Oʻahu ~ 9.7 kya; 2) sea level fall ~1 kya following Oahu's mid Holocene Sea level high stand; and 3) Western human contact with O'ahu and the introduction of plantation-scale agriculture. Finally, in a separate study of the submarine ground water discharge to Oahu's coastal waters, Kahana Bay was found to experience a much greater exchange with the surrounding environment than Ordy Pound. Total SGD in Kahana Bay is significant (90 x 106 L d-1), providing 16% as much terrestrial water, five times as much phosphorus, and two times as much nitrogen as surface water runoff.Thesis (Ph.

This report investigates the feasibility and affordability of producing algae-derived biofuel in Hawaii for military aviation. The authors evaluated methods for cultivation of algae, investigated the processes necessary to locally refine bio-oil into bio-kerosene, researched the environmental impacts of cultivation and refinement facilities in Hawaii, and studied the resultant cost per gallon of bio-kerosene production. Based on the current state of technology and the proposed system of systems architecture, this report estimates that bio-kerosene can be produced for $8.00 - 22.87/gal, indicating that although this system is technically feasible, it is unlikely to be affordable at current fuel prices without ongoing subsidy or further technical innovation.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between unintended pregnancies and demographic factors in Hawaiʻi, and to investigate the relationship between unintended pregnancies and violence in Hawaiʻi. This study used an observational, cross-sectional probability sample drawn women from June 1999 through December 1999. Women who were selected received Hawaiʻi Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) questionnaires generated from the Hawaiʻi State Department of Health. The main variables from the PRAMS questionnaire investigated in the study were maternal pregnancy intendedness, physical abuse 12 months before pregnancy and physical violence during pregnancy. Controlling variables investigated were maternal age, maternal education, marital status, geographical location, maternal ethnicity, parity status, Quest status, source of prenatal care, and contraceptive use. This dissertation supports the proposed ecological conceptual framework for understanding unintended pregnancies and physical violence during and around the time of pregnancy. Using this model, it could be hypothesized that women with unintended pregnancies tend to live in less stable environments and therefore unintended pregnancies and physical violence could be part of the same social problems. In general, bivariate analysis showed unintended pregnancies were significantly associated with SES factors. However, controlling for all variables in the model, only maternal age, parity status, marital status and contraceptive use were significantly associated with unintended pregnancies. Crude odds ratio showed a significant association between maternal pregnancy intendedness and physical abuse twelve months prior to pregnancy. However, when controlling for all variables in the study model proved to be not significant. A better understanding of unintended pregnancies and physical abuse around the time of pregnancies would help professionals in Hawaiʻi to screen for at risk individuals.Thesis (Ph.

Eversole, Dolan. "Large-Scale Beach Change: Kaanapali, Hawai'i." Thesis, University of Hawaii at Manoa, 2002. http://hdl.handle.net/10125/6946.
Full textAbstract:
Using monthly beach profile surveys and historical aerial photographs, the seasonal and long-term (48 year) beach morphology for Kaanapali Beach, Maui is described. By identifying the shoreline position in historical aerial photographs it is determined that the Kaanapali area is subject to long periods of mild erosion and accretion punctuated by severe erosional events related to short-period Kona storms and hurricane waves. Increased Central Pacific tropical cyclone activity of the late 1950's and early 1960's and Hurricane Iniki in 1992 are identified as contributing factors to the observed volume change during these periods. Between these erosional periods the Kaanapali shoreline is relatively stable characterized by light erosion to moderate accretion suggesting the recovery time may be on the order of roughly 20 years. Over the 48-year period 1949 to 1997, the Kaanapali and Honokowai cells have experienced a net sediment volume loss of 43,000 ±730 m3 and 30,700 ±630 m3 respectively for a total net volume loss of 73,700 ± 990 m3. The Kona storms and hurricanes of the early 1960's and 1992 collectively account for 136,000 m3 of sediment lost or approximately 62% of the gross volume change for the entire period, revealing the significant erosional effect of these storms. Recovery after each of these storms accounts for 73,900 m3 or approximately 33% of the gross volume change. A residual loss of 10,600 m3 representing 5% of the gross volume change is inferred as chronic erosion and may be a product of relative sea-level rise (RSLR). An increase in short-period southwesterly wave energy during these erosional periods is well documented and may have transported beach sediment further offshore than normal (beyond the reef) and is identified as a possible mechanism for long-term erosion in this area. The spatial distribution of historical shoreline movement suggests the majority of sediment transport occurs in the central portion of Kaanapali near Kekaa and Hanakoo Point and is driven by longshore rather than cross-shore transport. Surveyed beach profiles reveal a strong seasonal variability with net erosion in the summer and accretion in the winter with an along the shore-alternating pattern of erosion and accretion. 65% of the net volume change occurs south of Kekaa Point confirming the more dynamic nature of the southern (Kaanapali Cell). Net beach profile volume change from the mean suggests that June and January are the most dynamic months each with approximately 14% of the total volume change. We attribute the significant and rapid erosion and accretion events due to wave-induced longshore transport of sediment. Field observations of monthly beach sediment impoundment in the Kaanapali cell are examined and compared to three models that predict longshore sediment transport (LST). Beach profile results indicate sediment impoundment occurs seasonally with a nearly balanced longshore sediment transport system between profile 5 and 9. Longshore transport rates are derived from seasonal cumulative net volume change in the middle of Kaanapali Beach at profile 7. Cumulative net sediment transport rates are 29,379 m3/yr ±15% to the north and 22,358 m3/yr ± 6% to the south for summer and winter respectively, a net annual rate of 7,021 m3/yr ± 10% to the north and a gross annual rate of 51,736 m3/yr ± 2%. Predictive transport formulas such as CERC (1984), CERC (1991) and Kamphius (1991) predict net annual transport rates at 3 x 103 percent, 77 percent and 6 x 103 percent of the observed transport rates respectively. The presence of fringing reef significantly effects the ability of the LST models to accurately predict sediment transport. When applying the CERC (1984, 1991) and Kamphius (1991) formulas, the functional beach profile area available for sediment transport is assumed much larger than actually exists in Kaanapali because of the presence of a fringing reef that truncates a portion of the sandy profile area. The CERC (1984, 1991) and Kamphius (1991) formulas don't account for the presence of a reef system which may contribute to the models overestimate of longshore sediment transport as they assume the entire profile is mobile sediment. However the fact that the CERC (1991) model underestimates the observed transport implies that additional environmental parameters (such as wave height, direction and period) playa more substantial role than the influence of the reef in the model results. The CERC (1991) Genesis model is found to be superior in fitting the observed longshore transport at Kaanapali Beach. The success of the Genesis model is partly attributed to its' ability to account for short-term changes in near-shore parameters such as wave shoaling, refraction, bathymetry, antecedent conditions and several other shore face parameters not accounted for in the CERC (1984) or Kamphius (1991) formulas. The use of the CERC (1984) formula is prone to practical errors in its' application particularly in the use of the recommended "K" coefficient and wave averaging that may a significantly overestimate the LST. A better fit to the observed LST is achieved with the CERC (1984) if the K value is decreased by an order of magnitude from 0.77 to 0.07. The Kamphius (1991) formula is especially sensitive to extremes in wave period and tends to deviate from observed transport estimates for unusually high wave periods (this study) and approximates observations nicely in areas with low wave periods (Ping Wang et al. (1998). Many of the studied predictive LST formulas are prone to overestimate transport and thus their use requires a comprehensive understanding of the complexities and errors associated with employing them. Great care must be used when applying LST models in areas with significant hard bottom or shallow reefs that alter the beach profile shape. Due to these errors, the use of the CERC (1984) and Kamphius (1991) formulas are better suited as a qualitative interpretative tool of transport direction rather than magnitude.ix, 62 leaves

Engels, Mary S. "Holocene reef accretion: Southwest Molokai, Hawai'i." Thesis, University of Hawaii at Manoa, 2003. http://hdl.handle.net/10125/6999.
Full textAbstract:
Two reef systems off south Molokai, Hale O Lono and Hikauhi, show differences in modern ecosystem structure and Holocene accretion history that reflect the influence of wave-induced near-bed shear stresses on reef development in Hawaii. Both sites are exposed to similar impacts from southern, Kona, and trade wind swell, but differing wave impacts result from relative exposure to north swell. Analysis and dating of 10 cores from Hale O Lono reveal a back stepping reef ranging from ~8,100 cal yr BP (offshore) to ~4,800 cal yr BP (nearshore). A depauperate community of modern coral diminishes shoreward and seaward of~15 m depth due to wave energy, disrupted recruitment activities and physical abrasion. Evidence suggests a change from conditions conducive to accretion during the early Holocene to conditions detrimental to accretion in the late Holocene. Reef structure at Hikauhi, reconstructed from 14 cores, reveals a thick, rapidly accreting and young (maximum age ~900 cal yr BP) prograding reef. Modem live coral cover on this reef increases seaward with distance from the reef crest but terminates at a depth of ~20m where the reef ends in a large sand field. The primary limitation on vertical reef growth is accommodation space under wave base, not recruitment activities or energy conditions. This study suggests modem reef growth on the southwest comer of Molokai is controlled by wave-induced near-bed shear stress related to refracted North Pacific swell. Holocene accretion patterns here also reflect the influence of wave-induced near-bed shear stress from north swell. Other factors controlling Holocene reef accretion are relative sea-level and wave sheltering by Laau Point. Habitat suitable for reef accretion on the southwest shore of Molokai has shrunk throughout the Holocene.ix, 62 leaves

Waterless, used for military target practice, cleaned up, and being replanted, the island requires an architecture that acknowledges and aids the continual re-making of the site. This project is an infrastructure--physical and programmatic--for connection and access to Kaho'olawe; in certain locations, the infrastructure manifests itself as architectural gestures, shelters for people who come to the island. The infrastructure is for people and plants, inscribing continual change on different scales of time and space. The architecture consciously makes and records traces, and the traces in turn are remade by subsequent visitors and rearrangements of the architecture.

Full textAbstract:
In Hawaiian History: The Dispossession of Native Hawaiians’ Identity and Their Struggle for Sovereignty, three of the Western constructed narratives of Hawai’i are identified and juxtaposed with Hawai’i’s historical facts taken primarily from the late 1800s through the mid 1900s. These Western narratives contribute to an identity crisis experienced by Native Hawaiians during a time when their culture was almost lost, due to the colonial powers assimilating Hawai’i to America. An account of the historical events of the Kingdom of Hawai’i is then reviewed, which includes the diplomatic moves of the Hawaiian monarchs, the changes in the statuses of the Kingdom, and the overthrow of Queen Lili’uokalani. Evidence explored throughout “The Hawaiian Kingdom” section, proves the native Hawaiians adjusted swiftly to a diplomatic means of resolving issues, which refute a frequently taught Western constructed narrative that the “savage native Hawaiian political leaders” needed Americas aid in governance. The Hawaiian sovereignty movement’s history is reviewed, leading up to the creation of U.S. Public Law 103-150. This resolution was made in response to the demand from Hawaiian sovereignty movements for the United States to acknowledge its role in the overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawai’i. The U.S. political agenda found in this resolution is so deeply embedded and disguised in the diplomatic language used, that without careful examination could go completely undetected by the reader. At the surface level, the Apology Resolution acknowledges the historical injustices faced by the native Hawaiians, apologizes for the events, and seeks reconciliation with the native Hawaiians. Concealed in the U.S. Public Law 103-150, is the manipulation of language as means to use the apology as a disclaimer, which allows the United States to continue to suppress the inherent sovereignty of the Kingdom of Hawai’i and nullifies any claims to rights, titles, and possessions against the United States.

Full textAbstract:
An overall rise in sea level has been recorded by all Hawaii tide gauges over the last century; however, the rates vary considerably between islands. In particular, the sea level rise rate is higher at Hilo (3.3 mm/yr) on the island of Hawaii at the southeast end of the island chain, than at Honolulu (1.4 mm/yr) on the island of Oahu about 335 Ian to the northwest. This difference has been attributed to island subsidence associated with active volcanism at the southeast end of the Hawaiian ridge. Continuous GPS measurements collected over the past 5 years are used to examine the relative vertical movements of the main Hawaiian Islands in an attempt to reconcile the observed difference in sea level rates. The rates of vertical crustal motion are estimated in a reference frame realized using a network of 30 GPS stations spread across the Pacific region. Although absolute vertical motion rates are not yet obtainable, the differential rates of vertical crustal motion are determined to within approximately ± 0.5 mm/yr at the 95% confidence level. The geodetic measurements indicate that vertical velocities within the main Hawaiian Islands are similar. Hilo is subsiding relative to Honolulu, but the difference in rates is only 0.5 mm/yr, considerably less than the 1.9 mm/yr difference suggested by tide gauge observations. Historical hydrographic data suggest that steric sea level trends since 1945 vary considerably along the Hawaiian Ridge, with rates increasing from the northwest to the southeast. It is suggested that the difference in Hilo-Honolulu sea level rise rate is due in part to upper ocean thermal variations. The notion that oceanographic effects influence differential rates of sea level rise at Hawaii challenges previous interpretations based solely on variable crustal motion. The absolute rate of vertical crustal motion at Honolulu has been constrained by coral-age data to be less than 0.1 mm/yr since the last interglacial. A reanalysis of the age-depth relationship obtained from submerged Holocene corals recovered from the Hilo drill hole is consistent with an absolute rate of crustal subsidence anywhere between - 2.7 and 0 mm/yr. Given this wide range of velocities, the differential Holocene subsidence rates from coral data do not conflict with our reinterpretation of the tide gauge data.ix, 63 leaves

Full textAbstract:
The thesis examines, first, the juridicial nature of the right to self-determination as a human right, evolving primarily from the nationalist feelings of a group of people. The American and French Revolutions are examples of external and internal self-determination, respectively, developing from the nationalist feelings. Second, an examination has been undertaken of the basic reasons for a claim to the right to self-determination, out of which unequal treaties and forceful annexation have been argued to be the most important. Third, it has been submitted that the rights to self-determination and to resistance are intertwined, and that the right to resistance matures when all peaceful means of restoring the rights of a group of people fail. Fourth, the whole discussion of the right to self-determination and resistance is applied to Hawaii, which was annexed by the United States through a coercive and unequal treaty in the late nineteenth century. Thus, the thesis examines the validity of the Treaty of Annexation and supports the idea that native Hawaiians have a right to self-determination under international law, and never gave up their right to remain independent. Finally, the thesis recommends some measures to be adopted in order for native Hawaiians to regain their lost independence.

Full textAbstract:
Studies of the evolution of hotspot swells, mantle plumes, and Hawaiian basalts are presented in three parts in this dissertation. In part 1, the evolution of mid-plate hotspot swells are simulated numerically as an oceanic plate rides over a hot, upwelling mantle plume. The transient heat transfer equations, with time- and space-dependent boundary conditions, are solved in cylindrical coordinates. Geophysical data are used to constrain the models. Formation of the Hawaiian swell requires a mechanism of convective thinning of the lithosphere. The models constrain the Hawaiian heat source to have a maximum anomalous temperature of 250-300°C, and a perturbing heat flux 5-6 times the background value. On the other hand, the Bermuda swell is likely produced by heat conduction due to weakness of the heat source. In part 2, an analytic model of axisymmetric mantle plumes is presented. Plume parameters beneath the lithosphere, which are constrained from the swell models, are used to infer the plume source regions. The Hawaiian plume likely originates near the core-mantle boundary, but other hotspots may have shallower sources. Chemical plumes are much narrower than thermal plumes because of low chemical diffusivity in the mantle. For mantle plumes driven by combined thermal-chemical diffusion, the chemical signature of the source regions may only be observed near plume centers. Finally, melt generation and extraction along the Hawaiian volcanic chain are discussed in part 3. As a part of the plate moves over the heat source, melting largely takes place in the region where the lithospheric material is engulfed and swept away by the flow of the heat source. At least three mantle components must be involved in the melt generation: the plume material, the asthenosphere, and the engulfed lithospheric material. Significant amount of melts may also come from direct melting of the upwelling plume at depths below the initial plate-plume boundary. Melt extracts continuously from an active partial melting zone of 10-20 km thick, which moves outward as heating and compaction proceed. The models explain quantitatively the general characteristics of Hawaiian volcanism as the result of plume-plate interaction.

Full textAbstract:
Hawaiian poi pounders are unique artifacts which have received inadequate attention from the archaeological community. Three varieties of poi pounders are recognized today: the common knobbed form, ring pounders, and stirrup pounders. These artifacts have never been systematically analyzed, and a great deal of variability exists within the three categories. This research utilizes paradigmatic classification to examine stylistic variability in poi pounder morphology. The seriation method is used to illuminate patterns of interaction and transmission through time and space among Hawaiian groups. Functional analyses are carried out to help explain processes of selection and interaction between poi pounders and the environment. The spatial extent of this research is limited to the island of Kauaʻi, which is historically known for its distinctive poi pounder forms.11, 121 leaves

Full textAbstract:
This research is comprised of two narrative interview studies of Māori in two different settings, New Zealand (n=20) and Hawai'i (n=30). The data was gathered over the 1994-1996 period. The two settings have some commonalities and differences. In both settings Māori are required to make decisions about the continuity of their ethnic Māori identities and hereditary cultural identities of iwi, hapu and whanau, and the part that they wish these identities to play in their daily lives. The focus of this research was about how Māori create meaning in their lives and maintain their social identities across and within those contexts they move through. The findings of this research suggest that Māori in New Zealand continue to value and gain meaning and satisfaction from their cultural collectivities and the social identities derived from them. However, the results tend to suggest that there are changes in the ways that individuals conceptualise these identities and concomitantly, how they see of themselves. For New Zealand participants, conceptions of hapu and iwi appear to be converging with an increasing focus on the physicality of marae, its environment and symbolism, and the social events and relationships negotiated in that space. New Zealand participants saw some hapu and iwi maintenance activities as more legitimate than others. More value was placed on returning to hapu and iwi homelands however irregular these returns were. In contrast, conceptions of hapu and iwi held by participants in Hawai'i seemed less intense. There were few opportunities to engage with other hapu or iwi members. Being Māori had greater meaning and was understood, probed and valued by others in the culturally plural context of Hawai'i. For New Zealand participants, being Māori was enacted in the context of being a discriminated, negatively constructed minority. All were aware of the defining effect that the presence of a dominant majority could have and countered these effects by engaging in social justice and in-group solidarity activities. The changing identity conceptions held by members of Māori social groups will have implications for a sense of community and social cohesion, for tribal asset management, service delivery and crown settlement processes. If Māori are redefining and renegotiating their social identities to achieve greater meaning and satisfaction then these changes are important to respond to and recognise.

Full textAbstract:
Along the coastlines of the Hawaiian Islands, there is a valuable and critical resource known for its brackish water habitat – loko i‘a (Hawaiian fishponds). They are dynamic systems dependent on the balance between fresh groundwater inputs from uka (uplands) and landward flow of kai (seawater), which all vary depending on the behavior of our climate, including rainfall, tides, and storms. Nutrient-rich groundwater mixing with the seawater at the coast allows for an abundant growth of limu or primary productivity attracting many of Hawaii’s favorable native brackish water and herbivorous species. Having an intimate relationship with this natural coastal nursery, Hawaiians effectively modified these coastal habitats into loko i’a to provide a sustainable food source for the communities in which they reside. In support of these invaluable resources and practices, this study seeks to understand primary productivity and salinity relationships along the same coastline at Honokea Loko of Waiuli, and Hale o Lono and Waiāhole/Kapalaho of Honohononui, Hawaii. Weekly water quality monitoring by kiai' loko (fishpond steward) and biweekly water column sampling, salinity in the three loko i’a ranged from 3.1 to 18.8 and was significantly different throughout different areas of each pond. Benthic primary productivity experiments, found significantly more growth at higher salinity locations across all sites. Due to these strong correlations, loko i'a communities would greatly benefit from these methodologies to quantify the variability of environmental changes through time and specific impacts of climate phenomena, changes in rainfall and sea level. These factors have the potential to interfere with primary productivity and alter loko i'a systems interactions entirely.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this focused ethnographic study was to describe the patterns of a good death held by elderly Japanese Americans living in Hawaii. Eighteen "healthy active" elderly Japanese Americans were interviewed individually. In addition, supplementary data, such as interviews with experts and field observations were collected for triangulation of the data. Four themes were derived from 1224 keywords, 56 categories, and 13 patterns. These were: being a burden to the family, process of life and death, individual views on death, and Japanese culture in Hawaii. Being a burden to the family was the largest concern in the participants' idea of dying a good death. Having secure financial resources were key for adequate preparation. The elderly Japanese Americans believed that suffering at the end-of-life should be avoided in order to achieve a good death. Their concept of suffering included: unmanageable pain, being ill for a long time, and being bedridden. Several participants preferred a sudden type of death because they would not have to suffer and not be burdens their family. Contentment in life was also an important aspect of a good death. There was a common belief that the way a person lived was connected with the way he/she died. A number of the participants preferred to die in their own home. Hospitals and retirement homes were other alternatives for the place of death. Individual views on death contributed to establish the concept of good death among elderly Japanese American participants. They shared similar attitudes toward death which were a part of life and inevitable. These attitudes were influenced by religious beliefs and past experiences with death. Different generations of elderly Japanese Americans had different views. The Shin-Issei (first generation who immigrated after World War II) and the Nisei (second generation) held more Japanese views compared to the Sansei (third generation) who were more acculturated. Although the Japanese American parents and children might have different views on life and death, the importance of close family relations and family support was passed on to younger generations.

The aim of this work is to explore the printed Hawaii shirt through material investigations in search of new print meetings. A vital step for this investigation was to develop the classic Hawaii- prints and motives in mixed media. Followed by exploring alternative printing techniques such as transfer printing, laser cutting and knitting in different materials to reach new expressions yet keeping a clear reference to the Hawaii shirt. The intention of this work was to investigate how the Hawaii shirt with its classic print could interact with the mind and body of the wearer. Furthermore, to question the informal rules of wearing a Hawaii shirt with a starting point in Umberto Eco’s theories about epidemic self-awareness. The motive of this work is to critically look at the society today, with a focus on consumerism, foreign travel and tourism and the expression of it, with the Hawaii shirt as a symbol of these things. Based on the assumption of the Hawaii shirt being a tacky souvenir that tourists bring back home from their holidays. This work show new expressions of the printed Hawaii shirt through innovative print meetings. This work also proposes alternative ways of wearing a Hawaii Shirt.

Full textAbstract:
Travel and tourism are concepts that date back to 3000 B.C. with globalization extending possibilities of travel to people across the world. Addressing stakeholder concerns is especially important in promoting the development of sustainable tourism contributing to the protection of Earth's natural resources and long-term sustainability of tourism businesses through collaboration and participation. This qualitative case study incorporated a strategic stakeholder management framework, focusing on exploring strategies that Hawaii tourism industry leaders use for increasing stakeholder participation in sustainable tourism development. The population consisted of individuals across 6 categories of Hawaii tourism industry stakeholders identified as visitors, residents, government or public servants, representatives of academic institutions, tourism business owners, and special interest groups. Data triangulation occurred through semistructured interviews of 10 participants, comprehensive review of archival data and government statistical data, and organizational documents. Data analysis included both manual and multiple systemic coding for each sources of data. Three thematic strategies emerged: establishing relationship management, consistent and effective communication, and partnership programs with a variety of stakeholders. Within establishing relationship management, participants articulated conflict resolution as the most critical and challenging aspect to successful stakeholder collaboration strategies. This research has implications for social change by offering enhancement to relationships necessary to develop sustainable tourism options, ultimately bolstering the local economy while fostering protection of natural and cultural resources.

Este estudo centraliza-se no conhecimento da situação sócio-cultural, política, laboral e religiosa das ilhas de Sandwich, ou ilhas havaianas no século XIX, aquando da chegada a este território insular de levas de portugueses destinadas ao trabalho braçal nas plantações de cana-de-açúcar. A evolução política de uma monarquia hereditária, a dinastia Kamehameha, para uma monarquia constitucional, passando pelo derrube da mesma, incluindo uma curta passagem por uma república até à anexação do território pelos Estados Unidos da América, períodos estes pelos quais os imigrantes portugueses tiveram que atravessar. O reinado de Kalakaua, o primeiro monarca reinante a visitar os Estados Unidos da América, foi o primeiro a realizar uma viagem de circum-navegação. Na sua passagem pela Europa, o régulo realiza uma visita oficial a Portugal, onde procede a conversações com o Rei D. Luís para a assinatura de um tratado de comércio e amizade que iria estabelecer as relações diplomáticas entre os dois países, assim como regulamentar a emigração de Portugal para o Hawaii. Analisa-se a importância do consulado português em Honolulu, após a Convenção Provisória de 1882, assim como o trabalho desenvolvido pelo cônsul António de Sousa Canavarro, o qual nos dá uma panorâmica da comunidade portuguesa que na altura se ia fixando nas ilhas havaianas. Caracteriza-se a emigração que desde Portugal continental, a Madeira, os Açores e Cabo Verde partia para aquele território insular, numa longa viagem de vários meses, e aí se instalava, inicialmente com um contrato de trabalho de três anos. A integração da comunidade portuguesa na sociedade havaiana trouxe muitas transformações, quer a nível sócio-cultural quer religioso. Era a maior comunidade europeia e caucasiana; contudo, não considerada branca no Hawaii. O grupo católico maioritário enraizou-se em festas e cultos religiosos muito fortes. A adaptação de parte do grupo ao protestantismo - através de um grupo de exilados da Madeira seguidores do missionário protestante Dr. Kalley, ex-residente no Funchal, perseguido e expulso da Madeira por motivos religiosos -não foi tão pacífica, foram confrontados com insultos e animosidade por parte dos católicos. Os casamentos inter-raciais são uma marca da comunidade portuguesa no Hawaii, assim como um legado na área da música, com a introdução do cavaquinho nas ilhas, conhecido na actualidade por ukulele, na culinária, e nas festas religiosas do Espírito Santo. __ ABSTRACT: This work is a study of the sociopolitical, cultural, labor, and religious situation of the Sandwich lslands, also known as the Hawaii lslands, in the XIX century at the time of the arrival to the archipelago of a great number of Portuguesa immigrants contracted to work in the sugar-cane plantations. Special attention shall be placed on the political evolution of a hereditary monarchy, the Kamehameha Dynasty (1810-1893), into a constitutional monarchy (October 8, 1840) and its eventual demise (January 24, 1895), only to resurface, though short-lived, as a republic (1894-1898). Portuguesa immigration occurred all along Hawaiian history, including the latter period, when the islands were eventually annexed by the United States of America (July 7, 1898), as the U.S. Territory of Hawaii. King Kalakaua (1874-1891) was the first reigning Hawaiian monarch to visit the United States of America, and the first Hawaiian ruler to travel around the world. ln his trip through Europe, Kalakaua made an official visit to Portugal, carrying out talks with the King D. Luís (1861-1889) in order to sign a treaty of commerce and friendship, thus establishing diplomatic relations between the two countries as well as regulating emigration from Portugal to Hawaii. ln this work I shall also analyze the importance of the Portuguesa Consulate in Honolulu after the Provisional Convention of 1882, as well as the work of António de Sousa Canavarro, the first Portuguesa General Consul to the archipelago, thus being able to provide an overview of the Portuguesa community at this time of early settlement. The main core of the study is an analysis of the mass emigration from Continental Portugal, Madeira, the Azores, and Cape Verde (until 1975 under Portuguesa rule), to Hawaii: after a long journey of several months, these Lusophone speakers and, almost all of them, Portuguesa nationals, arrived and settled in Hawaii, initially with a three-year contract. The integration of the Portuguesa community in Hawaiian society has brought many changes to the islands, culturally, socially, and religiously. lt was the biggest European and Caucasian community; yet, in Hawaii the Portuguesa were considered white. Being mostly Catholic, the Portuguesa expressed their religion outwardly, especially when it carne to religious festivals. The adaptation of part of this apparently cohesive Portuguese/Portuguese-speaking community to Protestantism-as in the case of a group of exiles from Madeira (ca. 1846-1854), followers of Dr. Robert Reid Kalley (1809-1888), a Scottish physician and Presbyterian missionary to Madeira who was persecuted and eventually expelled from the Portuguesa archipelago in 1846-was not so peaceful: though not on Portuguesa soil any longer, they were confronted with insults and animosity by some of their Catholic compatriots. The inter-racial marriages are a hallmark of the Portuguesa community in Hawaii, as well as a legacy in music, with the introduction of the cavaquinho or braguinha, a small Portuguesa four string guitar, was introduced in the islands when the Portuguesa labors carne to work in the cane fields in 1878, known nowadays for ukulele. Some cooking specialties and the religious festivals of the (Espírito Santo) Holy Ghost are still a Portuguesa legacy to the Hawaii.

Full textAbstract:
Traditional fecal indicator bacteria such as fecal coliform, E.coli and enterococci have been shown to be unreliable indicators of the hygienic quality of recreational waters under tropical conditions. One of the major reasons for considering these bacteria as ineffective indicators of water quality in warm, tropical regions is that they are consistently found in natural environments (plants, soil, water) in the absence of any significant contamination of these environments. Since preliminary studies conducted in Hawaii had indicated soil as the major environmental source of elevated concentrations of these bacteria in environmental waters, the aim of this study was to focus on the soil environment to specifically address two assumptions made by regulatory agencies in using fecal bacteria as indicators of water quality: first, there should not be an environmental source of these indicator bacteria unrelated to sewage or fecal matter contamination, and second, the indicator bacteria do not multiply in the environment. To determine the validity of these two assumptions under tropical conditions in Hawaii and possibly other tropical locations, various experiments were conducted. The major findings are as follows.
1) Analysis of soil samples collected from various locations representing major soil groups on the island of Oahu showed that fecal indicator bacteria are naturally found in most of the soil environments, indicating that the fecal bacteria have adapted to the soil conditions to become part of soil biota. 2) Evidence was obtained to show that the soil contains adequate nutrients to sustain the populations of these bacteria. 3) Growth and multiplication of fecal indicator bacteria in natural soil was dependent on available nutrients (particularly carbon), moisture and competing microorganisms.
In conclusion, tropical soil conditions are suboptimal for the multiplication of fecal indicator bacteria. Consequently, these bacteria in natural soil conditions will probably grow and multiply sporadically when conditions are relatively optimal. Although concentrations of fecal indicator bacteria in soil represent only a small fraction of the microbiota, their counts are significant enough in numbers not only to impact the quality of recreational waters but also to nullify two of the assumptions used in the application of recreational water quality standards. Thus, there is a need for an alternate and more reliable indicator of water quality in Hawaii and other tropical locations.Department of Health, State of Hawaii; US Environmental Protection Agency

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation investigates the impact of Women's Studies classes and programs on women adult learners in the University of Hawaiʻi system on Oʻahu with regards to feminist consciousness, voice, empowerment, and identity. I pay special attention to feminist methodological questions as well as my own location as a white researcher from the university researching and interpreting the narratives of (mostly) women of color in Hawaiʻi. Feminism, feminist consciousness and voice are examined through a variety of cultural practices and ethnic lenses. The concept of feminist consciousness is most usefully used as a process, including, but also moving beyond a basic awareness of gender discrimination and stereotypes. Voice and feminist languages are identified in a variety of ways beyond participation in class, allowing for classroom community and feminist pedagogy to play significant roles in voice creation and use. Power and empowerment as facilitated by Women's Studies classes are at the forefront of major life changes for the participants in this study. They provide a springboard for self-definition and self-determination, enabling significant intellectual outcomes. I also examine identity and the (re)production of self, in conjunction with feminist consciousness and empowerment, as processes. There are racial and ethnic differences in the understanding of identity, especially in Hawaiʻi, where colonialism continues to playa role in history and society. The reexamination of their roles as wives/girlfriends, daughters, and mothers is particularly reflective of the sense of agency the participants discussed after having taken a Women's Studies class. Indeed, these, along with many others comprise the specific effects of Women's Studies classes on women adult learners. The conclusion suggests possible methods for further study of the topic. It also offers suggestions as to how Women's Studies programs in Hawaiʻi could further expand their reach and influence on their students.Thesis (Ph. D.)--University of Hawaii at Manoa, 2003.

Full textAbstract:
Stephenson Percy Smith, militia member, surveyor, ethnologist and ethnographer, and founder of the Polynesian Society and its Journal, had a major impact on the New Zealand of his day and on a world-wide community of Polynesianist scholars. Whereas a good deal of attention and critique has been given to his work on Māori and the settlement of New Zealand, the purpose of this thesis is to explore those of his writings substantially devoted to the island Pacific outside New Zealand. To that end, I assemble a single Text comprising all of those writings and proceed to read it in terms of itself but also in the light of the period in which it was written and of its intellectual context. My method, largely based on elements of the approach proposed by Roland Barthes in the early 1970s, involves first presenting a representation of that Text and then reading within it a historical figure, the author of its components, as a character in that Text. Before doing so, in a Prologue I set out the broad current understanding of the patterns of settlement of the Pacific and some of the origins of Smith’s racial framing. In order to establish context, the early chapters outline his life and career and the intellectual framework, European and New Zealand, within which he thought and wrote as well as the early history of the Hawaiki that would come to absorb him. The following chapters set out my representation and reading of the Smith Text and open up new perspectives on aspects of Smith’s concepts of race, of relations among those he conceives as races, and of the settlement of the Pacific. My reading reveals Smith’s concern to separate his Polynesians from the other ‘races’ with which they came into contact in order to preserve their integrity and purity. In particular, in exploring the relationship between possible origins and a certain destination, it throws light on the nature of his quest for Hawaiki, the Polynesian homeland, and, in particular, his drive to locate it beyond and prior to Polynesian contact with those other ‘races’. I conclude that, at least in one sense, the real origin of Smith’s Polynesians lies in the racial classification of Oceania that emerged in Europe in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and still flourished in the twentieth. I end with a vignette of Smith’s presence in contemporary Aotearoa New Zealand.

Full textAbstract:
Im Zentrum der Arbeit steht die Analyse des „Hawaiian Sovereignty Movement“, einer politische Bewegung indigener Hawaiier. Sie bestimmte in den 1990er Jahren – 1993 jährte sich der Sturz der Monarchie zum 100. Male – das politische Leben des Inselstaates mit und forderte kulturelle und politische Autonomie für den hawaiischen Bevölkerungsteil des Inselstaates. Fragen nach der Politisierung kultureller Prozesse sowie nach der Kulturalisierung und Ethnisierung vornehmlich politischer und sozialer Konflikte stehen dabei im Vordergrund der Betrachtung. Ausgangspunkt jeglichen Diskurses um Autonomie oder „Sovereignty“ ist dabei die bewegte politische Geschichte Hawai‘is im 19. Jahrhundert. Mit einer ständig wachsenden Zahl von Siedlern wurden die Hawaiier im Laufe des 19. Jahrhunderts zu einer Minderheit im eigenen Land.
Als Gegenbewegung zu diesem immer weiter reichenden Aufgehen der hawaiischen Minderheit in der Gesamtbevölkerung des Bundesstaates forcierte die so genannte „Hawaiian Renaissance“, eine Revitalisierungsbewegung der 1960er Jahre, eine Rückbesinnung auf traditionelle Kulturtechniken und die von ihr beschriebenen „hawaiischen Werte“. Sie lieferte dem entstehenden „Hawaiian Sovereignty Movement“ zahlreiche Ansatzpunkte zur Verknüpfung politischer Forderungen mit Kernsymbolen hawaiischer Identität.
Neben dem diachron ausgerichteten Blick auf Veränderungsprozesse und Entwicklungen der Deutungshoheit über die von den Hawaiiern reklamierten Traditionen steht die synchrone Betrachtung der Veranstaltungen und Ereignisse des Gedenkjahres 1993. Anhand der Analyse eines zentralen Themas des Autonomiediskurses, der Frage der Land¬nutzung und der Landrechte, kann ein umfassendes Bild der Autonomiebewegung, ihrer politischen Praxis und der mit ihr verwobenen kulturellen Deutungsmuster und Konfliktlösungsstrategien gezeichnet werden. Es entsteht dabei das Bild einer spezifisch hawaiischen Bewegung, die sich durch bestimmte Muster der Provokation, durch Gewaltfreiheit und durch ein ständiges Aufflammen und Zurücknehmen von Konflikten auszeichnet.
Mit dem Blick auf die hawaiische Kunstszene der Gegenwart rundet sich gewissermaßen die Darstellung der hawaiischen Autonomiebewegung. Stand doch die kulturelle Revitalisierung am Beginn der politischen Bewegung, die sich verschiedener Aspekte hawaiischer Kultur zur Untermauerung ihres Anspruches bediente. Heute haben sich die Gewichtungen verschoben: eine zunehmend autonom agierende Szene bildender Künstler hawaiischer Abstammung nimmt die von der Autonomiebewegung postulierten Fragestellungen und Ziele in ihre Produktion auf und propagiert so hawaiische „Sovereignty“ oder Autonomie. Die politische Bewegung der Hawaiier ist auf diese Weise eng verwoben mit einer öffentlichen hawaiischen Kultur der Gegenwart, die sich zunehmend von Rückgriffen auf Tradition und Vergangenheit löst und zugleich immer wieder neue und eigenständige Zeichen kultureller Autonomie setzt.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Hawaii at Manoa, 2008.Finally, regarding the debate over the Creole Hypothesis, although HC does not share common substrate languages with Caribbean English-lexified creoles, the same hierarchical ordering (_gonna > _V+ ing > _Loc > _Adj > NP) is robustly found in HC. The HC data suggests that the explanation for this hierarchy argued for by some proponents of the Creole Hypothesis, that the presence of a creole copula in a certain environment leads to a low rate of copula absence in the decreolizing variety, does not work for HC data.
Second, three lect groups (basilectal, mesolectal, and acrolectal) are examined to see if their speech is comprised of a single system or of multiple co-existing systems. In general, there were no significantly different patterns observed for the three lect groups although the three groups have very different frequencies of copula absence. Therefore there appears to be no different lects in the HC creole continuum.
This research investigates copula variability in Hawaii Creole (HC) employing both qualitative and quantitative methodologies. Based on sociolinguistic interviews with eighty HC speakers, descriptive and theoretical issues concerning the HC continuum are investigated. Speakers are stratified by their age, gender, and residential area. As for linguistic constraints, overall, HC shows very similar patterns to those found in African American Vernacular English and in other creoles. Social and linguistic conditioning in copula variability suggests that it is in urban O'ahu that age and gender are playing the most significant role. Overall, quantitative analyses of social factors indicate a gap between urban O'ahu and other residential areas.
Three issues concerning the creole continuum are addressed. First, in light of the possible change in current HC and its directionality, analysis of the overall pattern in HC speech does not suggest evidence of a significant change in progress. However, in some cases there are patterns that are partially suggestive of both change towards standard English and change not in the direction of standard English. The findings for HC are in line with other studies which suggest that it is not likely that a single, simple dimension entirely explains variable linguistic behavior.
