KÁROLY BREZSNYÁNSZKY director ISBN 963 671 240 9 A tribute to Professor George P. L. Walker Dear Professor, We wholeheartedly dedicate the 2nd International IAVCEI/IAS Maar Workshop to Professor George Walker. George, who is now 78 years old, has made an immense contribution to our understanding of plate tectonics and Iceland geology between 1954 and 1964 and then to our beloved science of volcanology, more directly, starting in 1963. Many of us regard George as the father of modern quantitative physical volcanology. At a time when there were few detailed and systematic studies of volcanic processes and products, and when pyroclastic deposits in particular had received little attention, around the mid-to-late 1960s, George pioneered such studies. George was in Iceland when Surtsey erupted between 1963 and 1965 and this exceptional phreatomagmatic eruption fasci- nated him and drew him into volcanology. He has worked non-stop on volcanic processes and products ever since. In the last 5 years alone, he has worked, on subjects as diverse as cone-forming eruptions, rift zones and dike complexes, dynamics of lava flow facies formation, new methods of studies of tephra fallout deposits, assessments of tephra fall dispersal data quality, a reassessment of phreatosubplinian eruptions, the origin of the diversity pyroclast shapes, and more. George promoted quantitative field studies in volcanology and emphasized the need for modeling and laborato- ry analogue experiments. He would often carry out experiments in the field and in the classroom, making a mess hard to clean up but enlightening his audience about how volcanic processes worked. He helped all these areas of volcanology start in earnest and develop through celebrated collaborative studies with colleagues such as Peter Francis and Lionel Wilson and numerous students whom he inspired including Ian Carmichael, Steve Self, Steve Sparks, John Roobol, Colin Wilson, John Wright and many others. New fields of enquiry including quantitative and process-oriented field volcanology, physical volcanology and volcano sedimentology, planetary volcanology, vol- cano geomorphology and volcano remote sensing, emerged as a direct result of George’s inspiring example. At a time when quantitative studies of pyroclastic deposits were rare, George introduced rigorous methods to recognize them and study them in the field and in the laboratory. This included deposits associated with maar volcanoes such as base surges and ash falls. He also carried out the first detailed studies of littoral cones, doc- umenting that the entrance of some lava flows into the sea can result in highly explosive and hazardous cone- forming eruptions. His studies of the Rabaul eruptions, and of the AD 180 Taupo eruption sequences with Colin Wilson, have become great classics and set new standards in volcanological field work and eruption reconstruc- tion from deposits. This inverse modeling approach, fine-tuned with a few others like Steve Sparks and Lionel Wilson, was successfully applied to hazard assessment at hazardous volcanoes around the world and has enabled to save countless lives at volcanoes (e.g. at Mt Pinatubo). George was particularly interested in the phreatomagmatic phases of the Taupo or Rabaul eruptions and he was the first to point out that volcanological and meteorological processes can interact and to document how this affected the deposit features. Not surpris- ingly this is now starting to be recognized as one of the most exciting contemporary areas of volcanology. Of course, George’s interest in monogenetic volcanoes and basaltic volcanism generally is also well known. During his 15 years as Gordon Macdonald Professor of Volcanology at the University of Hawaii (1981–1996), George spent much of his time mapping the Hawaiian volcanic systems. He was able to do this thanks to the real- ization that the different Hawaiian Islands had formed in a similar way but were at different stages of erosion. He carried out systematic field work for many years on these volcanoes, integrated all the data, and was able to shed new light on the 3D structure and time-evolution of basaltic systems like those in Hawaii. His work on rift zones and dike complexes, notably in Iceland and Hawaii, remains the best to date. Asked if he would write a few words to inspire this conference a few weeks ago, George told us that there were plenty of good reasons for studying monogenetic fields and especially maar volcanoes and their deposits. He noted that of course any work that would enable to avoid another Lake Nyos-like disaster would be most wel- come, but he said that an overwhelming reason for studying maars and monogenetic fields is that “they are there”. How could we not study them? One will recognize in this statement that scientists are often driven by a simple and powerful urge to describe the natural world and by an irresistible curiosity and need to understand how the Earth works. George is delighted that the workshop is taking place and that once again it will be attended by such a diver- sity of scientists, covering all the aspects of volcanology that he promoted including several that he helped pio- neer. George has always championed quantitative and process-oriented field and laboratory work and no doubt he would have taken special delight in attending those talks and posters presenting an abundance of new field 3 and laboratory data, and in those modeling presentations informed by such field and laboratory constraints. While George wishes us well for this exciting workshop, we want to give tribute to him for showing us the paths to follow, for serving as an example for so many years, for his generous and disinterested support to students, researchers and to our volcanological community as a whole. George, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for having been and continuing to be a great pioneer of modern volcanology. We also want to wholeheart- edly thank your family, who has always supported your efforts, through thick and thin, thereby enabling you to rev- olutionise our science. In the words of Wes Hildreth and others who feel that you profoundly influenced their research, the impor- tance of your contributions and the usefulness of the rigorous and systematic methods of analyses you intro- duced to volcanology, will continue to inspire us for another 100 years. This workshop is dedicated to you. We wish you and your family well!

France (Received June 7, 1991: accepted in revised form April 15, 1992) Abst~ct-Seventy-four new S isotope analyses of ore minerals and country rocks are given for the Hg deposit of Almad&. The spread of the cinnabar &34Sis narrow within each of the three orebodies, but the 634S average values differ sufficiently between them (mean 634S: San Nicolas = 0.2 rt I. l%, San Francisco = 8.1 + 0.7%0, San Pedro = 5.9 f 1.0%0) to indicate three different mineralization episodes and possibly processes. The unweighted mean for all cinnabar samples is 5.6%0 and the S source is considered to be the host-rocks, either the Footwall Shales (634S = 5.5%0) or the spilites (S34S = 5.1 rt 1.3%0). For geometric and chronologic reasons, the former seem the best potential source. However, the high ?js4S values of the San Francisco cinnabar cannot be explained without addition of heavy S from reduction of seawater sulphate. Orderly distributions ofthe 634Svalues are observed in all three orebodies: ( 1) their increase from the stratigraphic bottom to the top in the San Pedro orebody is explained by a Rayleigh process, and (2) the maxima in the centres of the San Francisco and San Nicolas orebodies are explained by mixing of the S transporting hydrothermal fluids with seawater within the sediments.

  • Kimberlite Wall Rock Fragmentation Processes: Venetia K08 Pipe Development

Evidence is presented from the K08 kimberlite pipe in Venetia Mine, South Africa, which suggests that some pipes or sub-components of pipes develop upwards. The K08 pipe in pit exposure comprises >90 vol.% chaotic mega-breccia of country rock clasts (gneiss and schist) and <10 vol.% coherent kimberlite. Sub-horizontal breccia layers, tens of metres thick, are defined by lithic clast size variations, and contain zones of shearing and secondary fragmentation. Textural studies of the breccias and fractal statistics on clast size distributions are used to characterize sheared and non-sheared breccia zones, and to deduce a fragmentation mechanism. Breccia statistics are compared directly with the statistics of fragmented rock produced from mining processes in order to support interpretations. Results are consistent with an initial stage of brecciation formed by upward-moving collapse of an explosively pre-conditioned hangingwall into a subterranean volcanic excavation.

Dewey, M.R. Hempton, W.S.F. Kidd, F. Saroglu & A.M.C. ~eng6r SUMMARY: We use the tectonics of Eastern Anatolia to exemplify many of the different aspects of collision tectonics, namely the formation of plateaux, thrust belts, foreland flexures, widespread foreland/hinterland deformation zones and orogenic collapse/distension zones. Eastern Anatolia is a 2 km high plateau bounded to the S by the southward-verging Bitlis Thrust Zone and to the N by the Pontide/Minor Caucasus Zone. It has developed as the surface expression of a zone of progressively thickening crust beginning about 12 Ma in the medial Miocene and has resulted from the squeezing and shortening of Eastern Anatolia between the Arabian and European Plates following the Serravallian demise of the last oceanic or quasi- oceanic tract between Arabia and Eurasia. Thickening of the crust to about 52 km has been accompanied by major strike-slip faulting on the rightqateral N Anatolian Transform Fault (NATF) and the left-lateral E Anatolian Transform Fault (EATF) which approximately bound an Anatolian Wedge that is being driven westwards to override the oceanic lithosphere of the Mediterranean along subduction zones from Cephalonia to Crete, and Rhodes to Cyprus. This neotectonic regime began about 12 Ma in Late Serravallian times with uplift from wide- spread littoral/neritic marine conditions to open seasonal wooded savanna with coiluvial, fluvial and limnic environments, and the deposition of the thick Tortonian Kythrean Flysch in the Eastern Mediterranean.

  • Fault Zone Architecture Within Miocene–Pliocene Syn-Rift Sediments, Northwestern Red Sea, Egypt
    J. Earth Syst. Sci. (2017) 126: 37 c Indian Academy of Sciences DOI 10.1007/s12040-017-0812-4 Fault zone architecture within Miocene–Pliocene syn-rift sediments, Northwestern Red Sea, Egypt Khairy S Zaky Department of Geology, Minia University, El Minia 61519, Egypt. e-mail: [email protected] The present study focusses on field description of small normal fault zones in Upper Miocene–Pliocene sedimentary rocks on the northwestern side of the Red Sea, Egypt. The trend of these fault zones is mainly NW–SE. Paleostress analysis of 17 fault planes and slickenlines indicate that the tension direction is NE–SW. The minimum (σ3) and intermediate (σ2) paleostress axes are generally sub-horizontal and the maximum paleostress axis (σ1) is sub-vertical. The fault zones are composed of damage zones and fault core. The damage zone is characterized by subsidiary faults and fractures that are asymmetrically developed on the hanging wall and footwall of the main fault. The width of the damage zone varies for each fault depending on the lithology, amount of displacement and irregularity of the fault trace. The average ratio between the hanging wall and the footwall damage zones width is about 3:1. The fault core consists of fault gouge and breccia. It is generally concentrated in a narrow zone of ∼0.5 to ∼8cmwidth. The overall pattern of the fault core indicates that the width increases with increasing displacement. The faults with displacement <1 m have fault cores ranging from 0.5 to 4.0 cm, while the faults with displacements of >2 m have fault cores ranging from 4.0 to 8.0 cm.

  • Airborne and Ground Electrical Surveys of the Edwards and Trinity Aquifers, Medina, Uvalde, and Bexar Counties, Texas
    43 Airborne and Ground Electrical Surveys of the Edwards and Trinity Aquifers, Medina, Uvalde, and Bexar Counties, Texas By Bruce D Smith1, David V. Smith1, Jeffrey G. Paine2, and Jared D. Abraham1 1U.S. Geological Survey, MS 964, Box 25046, Denver Federal Center, Denver, CO 80225, 2Bureau of Economic Geology, Jackson School of Geological Sciences, The University of Texas at Austin, Univ. Station, Box X, Austin, TX 78713 ABSTRACT Helicopter electromagnetic (HEM) and magnetic surveys were flown in the Seco Creek area, (Medina and Uvalde Counties, TX, 2002) and in Northern Bexar County (TX, 2003). The purpose of these surveys was to map structure and lithology of the Edwards and Trinity aquifers consisting of the catchment zone (Glen Rose, Trinity Group), recharge zone (Devils River, Edwards Group), and confined zone. The latter survey concentrated on Camps Stanley and Bullis, which are located mostly on the Glenn Rose. The south- ern part of Camp Bullis includes the faulted contact between the Edwards Group (recharge zone) and the catchment (Glenn Rose). Ground geophysical surveys at Seco Creek, conducted by the USGS in April 2002, consisted of total field magnetics, dc resistivity and shallow terrain conductivity measurements. In May 2003, BEG (Bureau of Economic Geology) acquired ground electrical conductivity measurements at 379 locations. Re-mapping of the geology along the nine geophysical lines was done at the same time. The shallow ground conductivity interpretations were supplemented by time domain EM (TDEM) soundings by the USGS. Ground-based measurements demonstrate that (a) mapped geologic units consisting of Cretaceous age limestones and dolomitized limestones, marls, mudstones, shales, and Quaternary alluvial deposits have differences in apparent conductivity, (b) geologic structures such as faults and karst can have detectable apparent conduc- tivity signatures, and (c) conductivity measurements can be combined with geologic maps and outcrop stud- ies to identify hidden contacts, covered strata, and unmapped structural features.
