Cummings Jonathan Fink John A.Wolff Dirk Iwata-Reuyl Portland State University 2016 © 2015 Arron Richard Steiner i ABSTRACT The Strawberry Volcanics of Northeast Oregon are a group of geochemically related lavas with a diverse chemical range (basalt to rhyolite) that erupted between 16.2 and 12.5 Ma and co-erupted with the large, (~200,000 km3) Middle Miocene tholeiitic lavas of the Columbia River Basalt Group (CRBG), which erupted near and geographically surround the Strawberry Volcanics. The rhyolitic lavas of the Strawberry Volcanics produced the oldest 40Ar/39Ar ages measured in this study with ages ranging from 16.2 Ma to 14.6 Ma, and have an estimated total erupted volume of 100 km3.

    TABLE 1 GEOLOGIC FIELD-TRAINING OF NASA ASTRONAUTS BETWEEN JANUARY 1963 AND NOVEMBER 1972 The following is a year-by-year listing of the astronaut geologic field training trips planned and led by personnel from the U.S. Geological Survey’s Branches of Astrogeology and Surface Planetary Exploration, in collaboration with the Geology Group at the Manned Spacecraft Center, Houston, Texas at the request of NASA between January 1963 and November 1972. Regional geologic experts from the U.S. Geological Survey and other governmental organizations and universities s also played vital roles in these exercises. [The early training (between 1963 and 1967) involved a rather large contingent of astronauts from NASA groups 1, 2, and 3. For another listing of the astronaut geologic training trips and exercises, including all attending and the general purposed of the exercise, the reader is referred to the following website containing a contribution by William Phinney (Phinney, book submitted to NASA/JSC; also http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/pao/History/alsj/ap-geotrips.pdf).] 1963 16-18 January 1963: Meteor Crater and San Francisco Volcanic Field near Flagstaff, Arizona (9 astronauts). Among the nine astronaut trainees in Flagstaff for that initial astronaut geologic training exercise was Neil Armstrong--who would become the first man to step foot on the Moon during the historic Apollo 11 mission in July 1969! The other astronauts present included Frank Borman (Apollo 8), Charles "Pete" Conrad (Apollo 12), James Lovell (Apollo 8 and the near-tragic Apollo 13), James McDivitt, Elliot See (killed later in a plane crash), Thomas Stafford (Apollo 10), Edward White (later killed in the tragic Apollo 1 fire at Cape Canaveral), and John Young (Apollo 16).

  • Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument Foundation Document
    NATIONAL PARK SERVICE • U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Foundation Document Overview Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument Arizona Contact Information For more information about the Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument Foundation Document, contact: [email protected] or (928) 526-1157 or write to: Superintendent, Flagstaff Area National Monuments, 6400 N. Hwy 89, Flagstaff, AZ 86004 Purpose Significance Significance statements express why Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument resources and values are important enough to merit national park unit designation. Statements of significance describe why an area is important within a global, national, regional, and systemwide context. These statements are linked to the purpose of the park unit, and are supported by data, research, and consensus. Significance statements describe the distinctive nature of the park and inform management decisions, focusing efforts on preserving and protecting the most important resources and values of the park unit. • Most Recent Eruption. Erupting roughly 900 years ago, Sunset Crater Volcano is the youngest of 600 volcanoes within northern Arizona’s San Francisco Volcanic Field. • Geology. The monument’s display of plate tectonics, volcanism, and pristine eruption features provides excellent opportunities for science, education, and interpretation in the context of regional and global geology. • Community. This catastrophic event profoundly affected the life of people in the region and left a unique archeological and ethnographic record of human response, adaptation, and recovery. Sunset Crater Volcano and its impressive features continue to be significant to contemporary American Indian tribes. • Ecology. A 100-square-mile cinder and ash blanket smothered all life nearest the volcano, resulting in ecologic succession and a unique assemblage of plants in a largely barren landscape.

  • NEWSLETTER March 2020
    FRIENDS OF NORTHERN ARIZONA FORESTS ‘? NEWSLETTER March 2020 Early Start to 2020 Projects for Aspen Team This a good news/bad news story on the mild winter weather we’ve had in northern Arizona since the first of the year: • The bad news first: lack of moisture and warmer days creating anticipated early onset of drought conditions through the summer. • The good news is the Aspen Team has taken advantage of our milder weather conditions and has already been in the field completing project. An early start has been advantageous for the team based on the wish lists projects for 2020 requested by representatives from the Forest Service and other allied agencies. At the FoNAF Board of Directors meeting on January 15, their proposed projects for the Aspen Team were presented and described by the respective representatives. http://www.friendsofnorthernarizonaforests.org/ Page 2 Below are brief summaries of each representative’s wish lists. Mark Nable: Flagstaff Ranger District • Two new aspen exclosures, • Reconstruct/repair exclosures #25 and #27 and remove fencing in two other exclosures, • Water seedlings in two exclosures on Highway 180 where aspen saplings were replanted if needed in early Spring before monsoons arrive, • Chip/haul slash in Lockett Meadow, possibly using available logs for peeling/log-worm fences. Amy Madera: Flagstaff Ranger District • Fence work and modifications along Waterline road, Casner Park and along FR420, • Barbed wire fences are candidates for removal following consultation with Forest Service. Patrick McGervey: Flagstaff Ranger District • PSAR volunteers from FoNAF to participate throughout the season, • Building log worm fences, • Clean up the area surrounding a water catchment off the Sunset Loop Road near the Strawberry Crater wilderness area.
