Schmidtmarieke2006 AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF Mariek E. Schmidt for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Geology presented on November 11, 2005 Title: Deep Crustal and Mantle Inputs to North Sister Volcano, Oregon High Cascade Range Abstract approved: Signature redacted for privacy. Anita'Ii Grunder The Central Oregon High Cascade Range is an anomalously mafic segment of the Cascade Arc due to ongoing intra-arc extension, which allows most magmas to traverse the crust without stalling and evolving tomore evolved compositions. North Sister, a composite volcano in this arc segment, has produced a seemingly monotonous basaltic andesite (52.5-54.0% Si02) that is depleted in incompatible elements from 320 ka until 15 ka. This dissertation addresses the volcanic development of North Sister Volcano and deep crustal processes that produced its basaltic andesite. Stratigraphic variation signaling changes in eruptive style, unconformable contacts, 40Ar/39Ar dating, and geochemical correlations divide North Sister's eruptive history into four stages: (1) the early shield, (2) the subglacial stage, (3) the upper shield stage, and (4) the stratocone stage. Lastly, the north-striking, >1 1-km Matthieu Lakes Fissure (MLF) transected North Sister in three splays. North Sister's eruptive stages correspond to four compositional groups that record a general decrease in compatible elements such as Ni (112 to 35 ppm), while incompatible elements are constant or generally decrease (e.g. Ba 302 to 247 ppm) through time. Isotopic variations at North Sister are small, but systematic; Sr and Nd isotopic ratios becomemore mantle-like with time. Petrologic modeling places the generation of North Sister's basaltic andesite in the deep crust by a) deciphering upper crustal re-equilibration; b) mixinga primitive, low K tholeiite (LKT) with a silicic, Al-rich partial melt of 5-30 millionyear old crust; and c) high recharge rates by mantle-derived LKTs and interaction witha refractory crust. The Sr and Nd isotopic ratios of primitive basalts from the Cascade Range define four segments of the arc that reflect separate isotopic reservoirs and mantle melting regimes and correlate with major crustal domains. Thesesegments are 1) north, Mt. Meager to Glacier Peak; 2) Columbia, Mt. Rainierto Mt. Jefferson; 3) central, the North Sister to Medicine Lake, and 4) south, Mt. Shastato Mt. Lassen. The central segment has Basin and Range in the backarc and is the most restricted in bulk and isotopic composition.

Schmidt, Author ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am grateful to everyone who helped with the project, including field assistants, lab gurus, and mentors. Additional acknowledgments and contributions are noted in each manuscript. I would first like to sincerely thankmy dissertation advisor and mentor, Dr. Anita Grunder, whose support and friendship has helpedme to succeed. Second, I thank my thesis committee members, Dr. Roger Nielsen, Dr. David Graham, Dr. Anne Trehu, and graduate school representative Dr. Margaret Burnett who have, through reviews and conversations, added significant understanding of North Sister Volcano. I deeply thank my life partner, Brian Scott who has always encouraged my dreams. I am also thankful of my parents, Pierre and Karen Schmidt who taughtme I am capable of anything I set my mind to. CONTRIBUTiON OF AUTHORS Dr. Anita L. Grunder has contributed greatlyto these manuscripts, designing the project and assisted in data analysis, writing, and revisions. MichaelC. Rowe contributed primitive basalt samples and major and trace element analyses fromthe Central Oregon Cascade Range. John C.

  • 4-3. Oregon Climate Lab Exercise
    7.1 FYS207 WOU Earth Corps OREGON CLIMATE LAB Introduction Climate is the measure and description of average weather conditions for a place on Earth’s surface over time. Earth’s climate system is very complex. The atmosphere, hydrosphere (mostly oceans), lithosphere, cryosphere (ice), and biosphere all contribute to Earth’s climate. Understanding how all of these subsystems work is what helps scientists determine how subsystems respond to change. Oregon is a diverse place with regards to climate. The purpose of this lab is study the climate of Oregon and to focus on the major influences on Oregon’s varied climate. Goals and Objectives • Interpret climatic data from maps, tables, and graphs • Describe Oregon’s climate based on climatic data • Develop an understanding of the major factors influencing Oregon’s climate Useful Websites • http://weather.noaa.gov/weather/OR_cc_us.html • http://www.wrcc.dri.edu/CLIMATEDATA.html • http://www.oregonphotos.com/pagetwentyone-Q.html • http://www.worldbook.com/wb/Students?content_spotlight/ climates/north_american_climate_oregon • http://www.musc.edu/cando/geocam/atacama/atacama.html • http://www.esa.int/esaEO/SEM3PIWJD1E_index_0.html • http://www.wou.edu/las/physci/taylor/gs106/OregonRoadTrip.htm 7.2 Name________________________ Lab Day/Time_________________ Pre-lab Questions – Complete these questions working on lab. 1.
