Its lavas cover about 1200 square miles and underlie populated areas including Sunriver and downtown Bend OR. The lava flow that underlies downtown Bend and formed Lava River Cave erupted from vents midway up the north flank of the volcano and reached the south edge of Redmond. Another of several far-traveled flows reached Smith Rock and temporarily filled the Crooked River channel. On the main edifice of Newberry, there are as many as 400 cinder cones that represent >250 eruptions during the half-million-year history of the volcano. Most of these involve cinder cone(s) and lava flows that traveled a few miles to a dozen miles. Several explosive caldera collapse eruptions have also occurred, accompanied by pyroclastic flows and by ash falls, some of which reached the Bay Area. In an effort to understand the history of the volcano and evaluate its potential hazards, the USGS has had a long-term project at Newberry to decipher how it has behaved through time. In addition to geologic mapping, USGS scientists do argon dating of lava flows, assess episodic behavior via paleomagnetism, study the volcanic ash deposits, and sample geothermal drill cores. The goal is to understand how the volcano is likely to behave if it should become restless. The geologic map incorporates much of this information and is the fundamental document that tells the story of the volcano. It will form the basis of a new volcano hazards assessment. A geologic map names the various mapped units (e.g., “the basalt of Klone Butte”), but Newberry is the land of many cones and few names. Some lava flows have multiple names, while some areas with many lava flows have almost no names. I worked with long-time USGS volunteer and retired DNF geologist Bob Jensen to propose additional names on the volcano. We contacted a wide variety of agencies and people including the regional FS office and took our draft proposal to a meeting of the Oregon Geographic Names Board (OGNB) in 2008. The proposal was subsequently presented to the DNF district ranger. A draft final version of the map was compiled in 2010. But the advent of high quality lidar coverage beginning in 2011 changed the timeline for the mapping. Many new features became visible, especially in heavily forested and difficult-to-reach parts of the volcano. That work is now largely complete and a final compilation of the map is underway. At the urging of the OGNB, we have dusted off and modified our original naming proposal in an effort to add names in critical areas. The proposal also includes names used previously in an informal way in various geologic publications. We began using many of these names for orienting ourselves in everyday work and we chose them based on shape, animal or tree name, history, etc. Each name in the spreadsheet has an explanation and description of the feature. We have identified and named the specific features that provide the most benefit to the geologic map, but the names we suggest need not be the final names. Pacific Northwest Region – Regional Office Newberry Volcano Geologic Map Feature Names – NEW R6 Geographic Name Proposal Background: R6 Geographic Names Advisors for the USDA Forest Service to the Oregon Geographic Names Board (OGNB) and the Washington Committee on Geographic Names (WCGN), Maxine Kline and Jesse Nett, received notification of an incoming proposal to the OGNB to name several features upon the Newberry Volcano edifice. The proposal will be submitted to the OGNB by Dr. Julie Donnelly-Nolan, Geologist, USGS Volcano Hazards Team, Menlo Park, CA, and Robert Jensen, retired Deschutes National Forest Geologist. The team has researched Newberry Volcano for several years. Over two hundred geographic features upon the edifice are currently unnamed. The proposal intends to provide geographic reference for an upcoming USGS-produced geological map. Impact: The OGNB will notify board members, tribal interests, county governments, and historical societies to investigate and request comments regarding the proposed geographic names. Once all input is received, the OGNB will vote to accept or not accept the proposal for the U.S. Board of Geographic Names. If the OGNB votes to accept the proposal, they will ask the Forest to provide a written concurrence or non-concurrence, accompanied by a brief narrative justifying the decision. Since the features are located on USDA Forest Service-administered lands (Deschutes National Forest – not designated Forest Service wilderness), the thorough review of the proposal details will incur a time impact. The feedback from the Forest will be forwarded to Betsy Kanalley, the Geospatial Products and Services Program Manager at the Washington Office, who will work with the Chief’s office for an official Agency response. Current Situation: The scope of this briefing is to notify the leadership of Deschutes National Forest of the upcoming proposal of approximately 95 features upon the Newberry Volcano edifice while also familiarizing the staff with the new R6 Geographic Names process. Recommendations for the impacted Forest leadership and staff: -Review briefing and Appendices A - D. -Refer to the BGN Principles, Policies, and Procedures for Domestic Geographic Names. http://geonames.usgs.gov/domestic/policies.htm USDA is an equal opportunity provider and employer. 1/3/17 1 Proposed Name Location (NAD27) Latitude (N)Longitude (W) Abacus Buttes 43.61514 121.38194 Alignment Butte 43.61446 121.25990 *Astronaut Butte 43.82279 121.36630 Bisected Butte 43.61880 121.20834 *Brooks Draw 43.77050 121.03933 Buckbrush Butte 43.82297 121.32707 *Buried Dome 43.70957 121.22190 *Camp Abbot Buttes 43.86217 121.38667 Camp Butte 43.72702 121.13915 *China Hat Draw 43.64967 121.02700 Cluster Butte 43.60086 121.25927 Corner Butte 43.66478 121.24879 *Crossing Draw 43.72083 121.42730 Deadfall Butte 43.73926 121.27287 Dogleg Butte 43.61326 121.22078 Doublet Cones 43.71142 121.10755 Dusted Butte 43.68033 121.25891 *East Lake Obsidian Flows 43.71333 121.19833 *East Lake Tuff Ring 43.71920 121.20187 *East Rim Fissure 43.72117 121.17934 Elbow Butte 43.77467 121.28640 Elongate Butte 43.65782 121.23503 Erratic Butte 43.78174 121.21161 *Evans Draw 43.86867 121.04600 Excursion Cones 43.56637 121.20303 *Footbridge Falls

SMITH1 &K.NE´ METH2* 1School of Environment, University of Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand 2Volcanic Risk Solutions, Massey University, Palmerston North 4442, New Zealand *Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Small-scale volcanic systems are the most widespread type of volcanism on Earth and occur in all of the main tectonic settings. Most commonly, these systems erupt basaltic magmas within a wide compositional range from strongly silica undersaturated to saturated and oversatu- rated; less commonly, the spectrum includes more siliceous compositions. Small-scale volcanic systems are commonly monogenetic in the sense that they are represented at the Earth’s surface by fields of small volcanoes, each the product of a temporally restricted eruption of a composition- ally distinct batch of magma, and this is in contrast to polygenetic systems characterized by rela- tively large edifices built by multiple eruptions over longer periods of time involving magmas with diverse origins. Eruption styles of small-scale volcanoes range from pyroclastic to effusive, and are strongly controlled by the relative influence of the characteristics of the magmatic system and the surface environment.

  • The Science Behind Volcanoes
    The Science Behind Volcanoes A volcano is an opening, or rupture, in a planet's surface or crust, which allows hot magma, volcanic ash and gases to escape from the magma chamber below the surface. Volcanoes are generally found where tectonic plates are diverging or converging. A mid-oceanic ridge, for example the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, has examples of volcanoes caused by divergent tectonic plates pulling apart; the Pacific Ring of Fire has examples of volcanoes caused by convergent tectonic plates coming together. By contrast, volcanoes are usually not created where two tectonic plates slide past one another. Volcanoes can also form where there is stretching and thinning of the Earth's crust in the interiors of plates, e.g., in the East African Rift, the Wells Gray-Clearwater volcanic field and the Rio Grande Rift in North America. This type of volcanism falls under the umbrella of "Plate hypothesis" volcanism. Volcanism away from plate boundaries has also been explained as mantle plumes. These so- called "hotspots", for example Hawaii, are postulated to arise from upwelling diapirs with magma from the core–mantle boundary, 3,000 km deep in the Earth. Erupting volcanoes can pose many hazards, not only in the immediate vicinity of the eruption. Volcanic ash can be a threat to aircraft, in particular those with jet engines where ash particles can be melted by the high operating temperature. Large eruptions can affect temperature as ash and droplets of sulfuric acid obscure the sun and cool the Earth's lower atmosphere or troposphere; however, they also absorb heat radiated up from the Earth, thereby warming the stratosphere.

  • Greater Bend Community Wildfire Protection Plan
    Greater Bend Community Wildfire Protection Plan Two Bulls Fire, June 2014 February 2016 Prepared by Project Wildfire 541-322-7129 www.projectwildfire.org [email protected] ª Executive Summary Community Wildfire Protection Plans (CWPPs) are documents that are designed by a local group of stakeholders who are invested in the wildland fire threat to their area. The group of stakeholders typically consists of a representative from the fire department(s), the state, any governing bodies and especially property owners. Each of these representatives should bring their concerns regarding wildland fire to the discussion and propose solutions to their concerns. Although reducing the risk of high intensity wildland fire is the primary motivation behind this plan, managing the larger landscape to restore forest health and more resilient conditions and improving fire response by all fire agencies are also discussed and addressed in the action plan. Continued efforts have been made by county, state and federal land management agencies to reduce the threat of high intensity wildland fires through education and fuels reduction activities on public lands. In addition, private property owners have responded enthusiastically to the defensible space and preparation guidelines and recommendations to reduce hazardous fuels on their own properties by participating in programs such as Firewise and FireFree. All of these activities allow the Greater Bend Area to become a more Fire Adapted Community. Wildland fire is a natural and necessary component of ecosystems across the country. Central Oregon is no exception. Historically, wildland fires have shaped the forests and wildlands valued by residents and visitors. These landscapes however, are now significantly altered due to fire prevention efforts, modern suppression activities and a general lack of large scale fires, resulting in overgrown forests with dense fuels that burn more intensely than in the past.

Cover (bottom photo): Newberry Volcano, Oregon, is the largest volcano in the Cascades volcanic arc. This north-facing view taken from the volcano’s peak, Paulina Peak (elevation 7,984 feet), encompasses much of the volcano’s 4-by-5-milewide central caldera, a volcanic depression formed in a powerful explosive eruption about 75,000 years ago. The caldera’s two lakes, Paulina Lake (left) and the slightly higher East Lake (right), are fed in part by active hot springs heated by molten rock (magma) deep beneath the caldera. The Central Pumice Cone sits between the lakes.
