Overview for Geologic Field-Trip Guides to Mount Mazama, Crater Lake Caldera, and Newberry Volcano, Oregon
Overview for Geologic Field-Trip Guides to Mount Mazama, Crater Lake Caldera, and Newberry Volcano, Oregon Scientific Investigations Report 2017–5022–J U.S. Department of the Interior U.S. Geological Survey Cover (top photo): View east-northeast from Garfield Peak on the south rim of Crater Lake caldera. Peak on skyline is 8,929 feet (2,722 meters) Mount Scott, an ~420 thousand years before present (ka) dacite stratovolcano considered to be part of Mount Mazama, the volcano that collapsed during the caldera-forming eruption ~7,700 years ago. The caldera walls in this view expose Mazama lava flows and fragmental deposits from as old as ~400 ka at Phantom Cone, adjacent to tiny Phantom Ship island, to as young as ~27 ka at Redcloud Cliff, the V-shaped face at the top of the wall left of center. The beheaded glacial valley of Kerr Notch, the low point on the caldera rim, is seen between Phantom Ship and Mount Scott. Photograph by Carly McLanahan. 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. -

Volcano Hazards at Newberry Volcano, Oregon by David R
This map shows areas that could be affected in the future by various kinds of eruptions and related events. Although we show sharp boundaries between DESCHUTES CO CROOK CO hazard zones, the degree of hazard does not change abruptly at these boundaries but decreases gradually as distance from the volcano increases. Areas immediately beyond hazard zones should not be regarded as hazard free, because the boundaries can only be approximately located. See accompanying pamphlet for methodology used to define hazard zones and to locate boundaries. Hazard zone for explosive pyroclastic eruptions of small to moderate volume in or near caldera −− Subject to tephra falls, pyroclastic flows and surges, and ballistic projectiles from eruptions of caldera or near − caldera vents. Can also be affected by lava flows and domes. Probability of tephra−fall hazard resulting from explosive eruptions at Newberry and other volcanoes in region is depicted in pamphlet (fig. 4) Hazard zone for lahars or floods on Paulina Creek −− Subject to lahars and flooding in event of volcanically induced surges of water from Paulina Lake. Shown only as far north as confluence of Little Deschutes and Deschutes Rivers; farther north, zone is thought to coincide with 100 − year floodplain of Deschutes River Area of upper west flank where Paulina Creek canyon might not contain peak flows during an exceptionally large flood event (see pamphlet) Hazard zone for volcanic gases −− During volcanic unrest and periods of increased gas emission, hazard lies chiefly in small topographic depressions, caves, and artificially created enclosures such as manholes, excavations, tents, or snowcaves where atmospheric circulation is inadequate to disperse gas Hazard zones for lava flows from flank eruptions −− Also includes areas subject to near − vent deposits of cinder cones and fissure vents. -

Mount Mazama and Crater Lake: a Study of the Botanical and Human Responses to a Geologic Event
AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Robyn A. Green for the degree of Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies in Geology. Botany and Plant Pathology. and Anthropology presented on June 3. 1998. Title: Mount Mazama and Crater Lake: A Study of the Botanical and Human Responses to a Geologic Event Abstract approved: / Robert J. Lillie Crater Lake, located in the southern Cascade mountains of Oregon, is the seventh deepest lake in the world. Unlike a majority of the deepest lakes in the world, found in continental rift valleys, Crater Lake is in the caldera of a volcano. For the young at heart and mind, those willing to descend (and ascend) about 700 feet to Cleetwood Cove can undertake a boat tour of Crater Lake. From the boat, Crater Lake is more than just a beautiful blue lake; it becomes the inside of a volcano, where the response of people and plants to a geologic event can be investigated. The catastrophic eruption of Mount Mazama 7,700 years ago affected both plant and human populations. Before pumice and ash from the volcano blanketed the landscape like freshly fallen snow, the forests to the east of Mount Mazama were dominated by ponderosa and lodgepole pine. Within the immediate vicinity of the volcano all life was obliterated; the force of the eruptive material toppled vegetation and buried it with ash and pumice. Through the recovery process of succession, life has slowly returned to Crater Lake. Forests surrounding the lake are now dominated by mountain hemlock, whitebark pine, and lodgepole pine. These plants not only depict the process of succession, but also of adaptation to a volcanic environment. -
