Topographic History of the Maui Nui Complex, Hawai'i, and Its Implications for Biogeography1

Jonathan Paul Price and Deborah Elliott-Fisk
Figure 7. Subsidence rates/stages. The sequence here accounts for the changing rate of subsidence. Assuming that the Maui Nui complex has completed subsidence, the known amount of subsidence in the last 1.2 myr is essentially a measure of where a given point was in the subsidence sequence at that time. This was then used to determine the changing rate of the subsidence between 1.2 Ma and the present.
