The surface of Koolau volcano is composed of Makapuu-stage shield lavas which define the well known, distinctive endmember
composition for Hawaiian shield lavas, known as the Koolau component. From $\sim$300 m to 470 m below this surface, drilling
and coring by the Koolau Scientific Drilling Project shows that the Koolau shield lavas transitioned to a composition similar
to Mauna Loa lavas; these Koolau lavas form the Kalihi-stage of the Koolau shield.
Among all Koolau shield lavas and within the Makapuu- and Kalihi-stages, there are strong correlations between the
compositional parameters, SiO$_{2}$ content (adjusted to be in equilibrium with Fo$_{90}$ olivine), Sr/Nb, La/Nb and Th/La,
with radiogenic isotope ratios of Nd, Hf and Pb. These trends show that as the shield aged there was an increasing role for a
marine sediment component accompanied by SiO$_{2}$-rich (dacite) melt. Therefore a recycled oceanic crust component was
increasingly important as the Koolau shield moved away from the hotspot and encountered lower temperature.
