So much the more important, therefore, to cherish these crown jewels among the lands of the nation, to keep them unsullied and intact, to conserve them, not for com- mercial use of their resources but because of their value in ministering to the human mind and spirit. In war or in peace the national parks have their proper and proportionate place in the life of America. These lands are less than one percent of our area. Surely we are not so poor that we need to destroy them, or so rich that we can afford to lose them. As Director of the National Park Service from 1940–1951, Newton B. Drury spent a great deal of his tenure fending off a constant flow of demands that the national parks be plundered for the resources they could contribute to wartime and post-war necessity. In that last year of his directorship, in the midst of the Korean War and a growing with the Cold War, he penned these words as an introduction to Freeman Tilden’s The National Parks: What They Mean to You and Me.

Science with ‘Eyes Wide Open’ An interview with geologist Lisa Morgan ALICE WONDRAK Dave Lovalvo, Lisa Morgan, and Pat Shanks launch a remotely-operated vehicle (ROV) into Yellowstone Lake. The ROV aids in ground-truthing recent bathymetric and aeromagnetic mapping of the lake floor conducted by the USGS. A research geologist with the U.S. Geological Survey, Dr. Lisa Morgan has devoted 23 years to studying the geology and geophysics of volcanic terrains. Since 1999, she has been working in Yellowstone, mapping and interpreting the floor of Yellowstone Lake and its associated potential geologic hazards—an undertaking that was completed last sum- mer. We felt that an achievement of this magnitude warranted extensive coverage in Yellowstone Science, and are excited to publish its results. In 2002, YS editor Roger Anderson had the opportunity to discuss this project and other issues with Lisa at her Boulder, Colorado, home. We are pleased to include this interview, which provides interesting insights into the mapping process as well as into her personal approach to the science of geology.

INTRODUCTION Oscar Wilde said, "I can resist anything except temptation."' Many clients may agree. They may be tempted to jump into a common interest arrangement with strange bedfellows to gain the advantages that information-sharing provides. Attorneys, nonethe- less, must make sure that when they jump, their clients do so with both eyes open. The potential that the common interest doctrine may provide a client with advantages in current litigation renders it a very attrac- tive tool from a client's perspective. The common interest doctrine is an evidentiary mechanism permitting independent clients with a common legal interest to share attorney-client privileged informa- tion with each other without waiving that privilege.

  • Formation of Low-Δ18o Rhyolites After Caldera Collapse at Yellowstone, Wyoming, USA

    Formation of Low-Δ18o Rhyolites After Caldera Collapse at Yellowstone, Wyoming, USA

    Formation of low-δ18O rhyolites after caldera collapse at Yellowstone, Wyoming, USA Ilya N. Bindeman John W. Valley Department of Geology and Geophysics, University of Wisconsin, 1215 West Dayton Street, Madison, Wisconsin 53706, USA ABSTRACT We present a new model for the genesis of low-δ18O rhyolites of the Yellowstone caldera based on analyses of zircons and individual quartz phenocrysts. Low-δ18O rhyolites were erupted soon after the massive caldera-forming Lava Creek Tuff eruption (602 ka, ~1000 km3) and contain xenocrysts of quartz and zircon inherited from precaldera rhyolites. These zircons are iso- topically zoned and out of equilibrium with their host low-δ18O melts and quartz. Diffusion modeling predicts that magmatic disequilibria of oxygen isotopes persists for as much as tens of thousands of years following nearly total remelting of the hydrothermally altered igneous roots of the depressed cauldron, in which the alteration-resistant quartz and zircon initially retained their δ18O values. These results link melting to caldera collapse, rule out rapid or catastrophic magma–meteoric water interaction, and indicate wholesale melting rather than assimilation or partial melting.
