Petrogenesis of compositionally distinct silicic volcanoes in the Three Sisters region of the Oregon Cascade Range : the effects of crustal extension on the development of continental arc silicic magmatism

Creator:

Hill, Brittain Eames

Abstract:

The Three Sisters region of the Oregon High Cascades has developed three compositionally and petrogenetically distinct silicic (i.e., SiO₂ ≥ 58%) magma systems within the last 600 k.y. These silicic systems evolved from the same High Cascade mafic magma system and developed in the same 20x30 km area of the...
