  • Chemical and Isotopic Studies of Monogenetic Volcanic Fields: Implications for Petrogenesis and Mantle Source Heterogeneity
    MIAMI UNIVERSITY The Graduate School Certificate for Approving the Dissertation We hereby approve the Dissertation of Christine Rasoazanamparany Candidate for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY ______________________________________ Elisabeth Widom, Director ______________________________________ William K. Hart, Reader ______________________________________ Mike R. Brudzinski, Reader ______________________________________ Marie-Noelle Guilbaud, Reader ______________________________________ Hong Wang, Graduate School Representative ABSTRACT CHEMICAL AND ISOTOPIC STUDIES OF MONOGENETIC VOLCANIC FIELDS: IMPLICATIONS FOR PETROGENESIS AND MANTLE SOURCE HETEROGENEITY by Christine Rasoazanamparany The primary goal of this dissertation was to investigate the petrogenetic processes operating in young, monogenetic volcanic systems in diverse tectonic settings, through detailed field studies, elemental analysis, and Sr-Nd-Pb-Hf-Os-O isotopic compositions. The targeted study areas include the Lunar Crater Volcanic Field, Nevada, an area of relatively recent volcanism within the Basin and Range province; and the Michoacán and Sierra Chichinautzin Volcanic Fields in the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt, which are linked to modern subduction. In these studies, key questions include (1) the role of crustal assimilation vs. mantle source enrichment in producing chemical and isotopic heterogeneity in the eruptive products, (2) the origin of the mantle heterogeneity, and (3) the cause of spatial-temporal variability in the sources of magmatism. In all three studies it was shown that there is significant compositional variability within individual volcanoes and/or across the volcanic field that cannot be attributed to assimilation of crust during magmatic differentiation, but instead is attributed to mantle source heterogeneity. In the first study, which focused on the Lunar Crater Volcanic Field, it was further shown that the mantle heterogeneity is formed by ancient crustal recycling plus contribution from hydrous fluid related to subsequent subduction.

  • Brook Trout Outcome Management Strategy
    Brook Trout Outcome Management Strategy Introduction Brook Trout symbolize healthy waters because they rely on clean, cold stream habitat and are sensitive to rising stream temperatures, thereby serving as an aquatic version of a “canary in a coal mine”. Brook Trout are also highly prized by recreational anglers and have been designated as the state fish in many eastern states. They are an essential part of the headwater stream ecosystem, an important part of the upper watershed’s natural heritage and a valuable recreational resource. Land trusts in West Virginia, New York and Virginia have found that the possibility of restoring Brook Trout to local streams can act as a motivator for private landowners to take conservation actions, whether it is installing a fence that will exclude livestock from a waterway or putting their land under a conservation easement. The decline of Brook Trout serves as a warning about the health of local waterways and the lands draining to them. More than a century of declining Brook Trout populations has led to lost economic revenue and recreational fishing opportunities in the Bay’s headwaters. Chesapeake Bay Management Strategy: Brook Trout March 16, 2015 - DRAFT I. Goal, Outcome and Baseline This management strategy identifies approaches for achieving the following goal and outcome: Vital Habitats Goal: Restore, enhance and protect a network of land and water habitats to support fish and wildlife, and to afford other public benefits, including water quality, recreational uses and scenic value across the watershed. Brook Trout Outcome: Restore and sustain naturally reproducing Brook Trout populations in Chesapeake Bay headwater streams, with an eight percent increase in occupied habitat by 2025.

  • Assessing Wetland Condition on a Watershed Basis in the Mid-Atlantic Region Using Synoptic Land-Cover Maps
    ASSESSING WETLAND CONDITION ON A WATERSHED BASIS IN THE MID-ATLANTIC REGION USING SYNOPTIC LAND-COVER MAPS ROBERT P. BROOKS*, DENICE H. WARDROP, and JOSEPH A. BISHOP Penn State Cooperative Wetlands Center, 302 Walker Building, Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA 16802 USA (*author for correspondence, phone: 814-863-1596, fax: 814-863-7943, e-mail:[email protected]) Abstract. We developed a series of tools to address three integrated tasks needed to effectively manage wetlands on a watershed basis: inventory, assessment, and restoration. Depending on the objectives of an assessment, availability of resources, and degree of confidence required in the results, there are three levels of effort available to address these three tasks. This paper describes the development and use of synoptic land-cover maps (Level 1) to assess wetland condition for a watershed. The other two levels are a rapid assessment using ground reconnaissance (Level 2) and intensive field assessment (Level 3). To illustrate the application of this method, seven watersheds in Pennsylvania were investigated representing a range of areas (89–777 km2), land uses, and ecoregions found in the Mid-Atlantic Region. Level 1 disturbance scores were based on land cover in 1-km radius circles centered on randomly-selected wetlands in each watershed. On a standardized, 100-point, human-disturbance scale, with 100 being severely degraded and 1 being the most ecologically intact, the range of scores for the seven watersheds was a relatively pristine score of 4 to a moderately degraded score of 66. This entire process can be conducted in a geographic information system (GIS)-capable office with readily available data and without engaging in extensive field investigations.

  • The Boring Volcanic Field of the Portland-Vancouver Area, Oregon and Washington: Tectonically Anomalous Forearc Volcanism in an Urban Setting
    Downloaded from fieldguides.gsapubs.org on April 29, 2010 The Geological Society of America Field Guide 15 2009 The Boring Volcanic Field of the Portland-Vancouver area, Oregon and Washington: Tectonically anomalous forearc volcanism in an urban setting Russell C. Evarts U.S. Geological Survey, 345 Middlefi eld Road, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA Richard M. Conrey GeoAnalytical Laboratory, School of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Washington State University, Pullman, Washington 99164, USA Robert J. Fleck Jonathan T. Hagstrum U.S. Geological Survey, 345 Middlefi eld Road, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA ABSTRACT More than 80 small volcanoes are scattered throughout the Portland-Vancouver metropolitan area of northwestern Oregon and southwestern Washington. These vol- canoes constitute the Boring Volcanic Field, which is centered in the Neogene Port- land Basin and merges to the east with coeval volcanic centers of the High Cascade volcanic arc. Although the character of volcanic activity is typical of many mono- genetic volcanic fi elds, its tectonic setting is not, being located in the forearc of the Cascadia subduction system well trenchward of the volcanic-arc axis. The history and petrology of this anomalous volcanic fi eld have been elucidated by a comprehensive program of geologic mapping, geochemistry, 40Ar/39Ar geochronology, and paleomag- netic studies. Volcanism began at 2.6 Ma with eruption of low-K tholeiite and related lavas in the southern part of the Portland Basin. At 1.6 Ma, following a hiatus of ~0.8 m.y., similar lavas erupted a few kilometers to the north, after which volcanism became widely dispersed, compositionally variable, and more or less continuous, with an average recurrence interval of 15,000 yr.

  • USGS Scientific Investigations Map 2832, Pamphlet
    Geologic Map of Mount Mazama and Crater Lake Caldera, Oregon By Charles R. Bacon Pamphlet to accompany Scientific Investigations Map 2832 View from the south-southwest rim of Crater Lake caldera showing the caldera wall from Hillman Peak on the west to Cleetwood Cove on the north. Crater Lake fills half of the 8- by 10-km-diameter caldera formed during the climactic eruption of Mount Mazama volcano approximately 7,700 years ago. Volcanic rocks exposed in the caldera walls and on the flanks record over 400,000 years of eruptive history. The exposed cinder cone and andesite lava flows on Wizard Island represent only 2 percent of the total volume of postcaldera volcanic rock that is largely covered by Crater Lake. Beyond Wizard Island, the great cliff of Llao Rock, rhyodacite lava emplaced 100–200 years before the caldera-forming eruption, dominates the northwest caldera wall where andesite lava flows at the lakeshore are approximately 150,000 years old. 2008 U.S. Department of the Interior U.S. Geological Survey This page intentionally left blank.

  • The Volcano-Tectonic Evolution of the Miocene Santa Lucía Volcano, Boaco District, Nicaragua
    Journal of Geosciences, 56 (2011), 27–41 DOI: 10.3190/jgeosci.085 Original paper The volcano-tectonic evolution of the Miocene Santa Lucía Volcano, Boaco district, Nicaragua David BURIÁNEK1*, Petr HRADECKÝ2 1 Czech Geological Survey, Leitnerova 22, 658 59 Brno, Czech Republic; [email protected] 2 Czech Geological Survey, Klárov 3, 118 21 Prague 1, Czech Republic; [email protected] * Corresponding author The present-day Santa Lucía caldera is an erosional relic of a Late Oligocene to Early Miocene stratoshield volcano located in the south-western part of the Chortis Block in Central Nicaragua. Six main lithological units were recogni- zed: (Unit I) dacitic ignimbrite of Boaco type, which represents the basement of the Santa Lucía caldera; (Unit II) da- citic ignimbrite of Fonseca type, locally intercalated with epiclastic and dacitic lavas; (Unit III) “lower” andesite lavas; (Unit IV) blocky, lithic-rich pyroclastic flow deposits, (Unit V) “upper” andesite and basalt lavas, and (Unit VI) epic- lastic rocks (lahar deposits). On the basis of field mapping, petrological and geochemical data, a new model for the evolution of the Santa Lucía Vol- cano is presented. The first stage consisted of a series of strong Sub-Plinian eruptions, which produced thick ignimbri- te units. These events destroyed the pre-existing volcanic edifice. The second stage was dominated by large explosive eruptions producing mainly non-welded dacitic–andesitic ignimbrites. The next resulted in the formation of andesitic lava flows and minor tephra fall-out deposits, covered by voluminous basaltic lavas. Lahars probably triggered by vol- canic and/or seismic events represent the final stage of volcanic activity.
