Helium isotopes are a robust geochemical tracer of a primordial mantle component in hot spot volcanism. The high ³He/⁴He (up to 35 RA, where RA is the atmospheric ³He/⁴He ratio of 1.39 X 10¯⁶) of some Hawaiian Island volcanism is perhaps the classic example. New results for picrites and basalts...
The steadily increasing costs of raw materials, of the treated products, and of their replacement in service, as well as the steadily shrinking supply of preferred species, prompted a forum at Oregon State University on May 15, 1973 "to encourage the use of western hemlock and western fuss for poles...
