Studies of Hawaiian volcanoes contribute valuable insights about Earth processes and mantle evolution, and are fundamental for understanding the construction of the largest volcanoes on terrestrial planets. The pre-shield stage exists in every Hawaiian volcano, but is usually blanketed by high volume tholeiitic lava flows during the main shield stage....
Ninety basalt samples from eight locations in central Oregon
and one location in the Willamette Valley were analyzed for Si and Al.
Fourteen basaltic rock specimens (> 1 kg each) from four buttes in the
Willamette Valley were sampled and analyzed for Si, Al, Fe, Na, K,
Mn, Cr, Co,...
Detailed mapping and geochemical analysis of Oligocene to early
Pliocene volcanic rocks in the Little Walker volcanic center, Mono
County, California have revealed a complex eruptive history. After
eruption of widespread rhyolitic ash flows of the Valley Springs
Formation in the Oligocene, Miocene to early Pliocene volcanism of
the western...
The Eyjafjöll Volcanic System, in southern Iceland, is a member of the
Southeastern Volcanic Zone (SEVZ), a segment of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. The
SEVZ is a well-exposed (subaerial) propagating rift, analogous to the
volcano-tectonic structures that accommodate the growth of ocean floor
spreading ridge segments. Eyjafjöll represents 780 Ka of...
The Himalaya are the geologic manifestation of continental collision,
and in northern Pakistan the Main Mantle thrust (MMT) is a major suture along
which the collision occurred. A newly recognized basement uplift near
Besham village in southern Kohistan, adjacent to the MMT, is bounded on the
east and west by...
This dataset is a collection of digital appendices for the PhD dissertation by Kellie T. Wall (2022), entitled "The 3.1 Ma to 100 ka Goat Rocks Volcanic Complex: Persistence and Evolution of Magmatism at a Long-Lived Major Andesite Locus on the Cascade Arc." Each appendix is a file (e.g. Word...
