Lava Flow Lobation and Margin Analysis

Creator:: Peckyno, Robert S.
Abstract:: Comparative investigations based on volcanic morphology suffer from the lack of a large terrestrial baseline for comparison. To fill this gap, the Lava Flow Morphology Database (LAMDA) was proposed as a GIS based central clearinghouse for remote and field investigations of volcanic morphology. This study presents an analysis of LAMDA’S...

Upper-Crustal Magma Evolution at Intermediate Arc Systems : Uranium-Series Zircon Chronochemistry of the Unzen Volcanic Complex, Southwestern Japan

Creator:: Murphy, Bethany S.
Abstract:: Crystal-rich (40-50 vol.%) intermediate lava has been the primary eruptive product of several recent hazardous eruptions: Mt. Pinatubo, Philippines (1991), Soufriere Hills, Montserrat (1995-present), and Unzen, Japan (1990-1995). Despite this association with such devastating eruptions, the formation, timing, and evacuation of such magma is not well understood: do such eruptions...

Timescales of large silicic magma systems : implications from accessory minerals in Pleistocene lavas of the Altiplano-Puna Volcanic Complex, central Andes

Creator:: Tierney, Casey R.
Abstract:: Constraining the development, evolution, and timescales of large silicic magma systems is important to understanding the development of granite batholiths, the relationships between volcanoes and their plutonic underpinnings, and the development of the continental crust. The ignimbrite flare up that produced the Altiplano-Puna Volcanic Complex of the Central Andes is...

Stratigraphy, sedimentology, and eruptive dynamics of the 2-ka eruption of Misti Volcano, southern Peru

Creator:: Harpel, Christopher J.
Abstract:: The 2-ka eruption of Misti volcano produced voluminous flowage deposits and a wide-spread tephra-fall deposit. The flowage deposits form large terraces within channels draining the south side of the volcano. All the channels drain into the city of Arequipa. Arequipa's city center is ~16 km from the summit of the...

Constraining the origin and influence of andesite in the Purico ignimbrite, N. Chile

Creator:: Lapinski, Sarah L.
Abstract:: A feature of large continental magmatic systems is voluminous dacite ignimbrites erupted from upper crustal magma reservoirs. In the Altiplano Puna Volcanic Complex (APVC) of the Central Andes, a major ignimbrite and caldera plateau, magma systems are found to be long-lived and remarkably homogeneous requiring that they be maintained by...

Understanding large resurgent calderas and associated magma systems : the Pastos Grandes Caldera Complex, southwest Bolivia

Creator:: Kaiser, Jason Frederick, 1985-
Abstract:: The Pastos Grandes Caldera Complex (PGCC) in southwest Bolivia has produced two large-volume (≥800 km³ DRE) dacite ignimbrites from a nested caldera source over a period of 5.5 Myr. In addition to the large-volume ignimbrites, a small-volume ignimbrite shield and post-climactic lavas define this composite system. Based on detailed field...

Rhyolitic Melt Production in the Midst of a Continental Arc Flare-Up - The Heterogenous Caspana Ignimbrite of the Altiplano-Puna Volcanic Complex of the Central Andes

Creator:: Lewis, Charles T.
Abstract:: The ~5 km3, 4.54 to 4.09 Ma Caspana Ignimbrite of the Altiplano-Puna Volcanic Complex (APVC) of the Central Andes records the eruption of an andesite and two distinct rhyolitic magmas. It provides a unique opportunity to investigate the production of silicic magmas in a continental arc flare-up, where small volumes...

The First Spatiotemporal Estimation of Future Vent Opening at Harrat Khaybar, Saudi Arabia

Creator:: Alohali, Abdullah W.
Abstract:: The 180,000 km² of Arabian lava fields (“harrats” in Arabic) form one of the largest distributed basaltic provinces in the world. Approximately 50% of these are located in Saudi Arabia. The most recent eruption in 1256 AD, as well as seismicity and ground deformation associated with shallow dike emplacement in...

Magma dynamics and evolution in continental arcs : insights from the Central Andes

Creator:: Grocke, Stephanie B.
Abstract:: Constraining the magma evolution and dynamics that lead to the eruption of large volume continental arc systems is fundamental to our understanding of continental crust formation. An investigation into the magmagenesis that results in the formation of the Central Volcanic Zone (CVZ) in the Andes of South America, situated atop...

Constraining Upper Crustal Magmas in the North Chilean Andes

Creator:: Lewis, Charles T.
Abstract:: The 4.59-4.18 Ma Caspana ignimbrite, found within the Altiplano-Puna Volcanic Complex (APVC), is the result of an ~8km3 eruption that took place during the Neogene Ignimbrite Flare-up in the N. Chilean Andes. While most of the eruptions during this flare up are large, monogenetic eruptions, the Caspana that is characterized...
