They skirt a white‐barked aspen grove and cross marshy Big Meadow, sharing the grasses with horses and livestock, on a nature trail with viewing areas for dozens of colorful species of birds. This is summer at the 1,830‐acre Black Butte Ranch. The nearest Central Oregon resort to the Willamette Valley, just 100 miles east of Eugene via Santiam Pass, the 45‐year‐old destination property delivers on a promise of relaxation. Families may enjoy summer visits when swimming pools are open and other activities, including golf, tennis and horseback riding, are going full bore, but Black Butte Ranch, known as BBR, thrives on serenity. Other resorts are all about hustle and bustle, but Black Butte even banishes overhead street lights, enhancing a “night sky” program that makes the heavens come alive. -
Overview of the Geology of Mount Shasta
Overview of the Geology of Mount Shasta Geology 60 Fall 2007 William Hirt College of the Siskiyous 800 College Avenue Weed, California Introduction Mount Shasta is one of the twenty or so large volcanic peaks that dominate the High Cascade Range of the Pacific Northwest. These isolated peaks and the hundreds of smaller vents that are scattered between them lie about 200 kilometers east of the coast and trend southward from Mount Garibaldi in British Columbia to Lassen Peak in northern California (Figure 1). Mount Shasta stands near the southern end of the Cascades, about 65 kilometers south of the Oregon border. It is a prominent landmark not only because its summit stands at an elevation of 4,317 meters (14,162 feet), but also because its volume of nearly 500 cubic kilometers makes it the largest of the Cascade STRATOVOLCANOES (Christiansen and Miller, 1989). Figure 1: Locations of the major High Cascade volcanoes and their lavas shown in relation to plate boundaries in the Pacific Northwest. Full arrows indicate spreading directions on divergent boundaries, and half arrows indicate directions of relative motion on shear boundaries. The outcrop pattern of High Cascade volcanic rocks is taken from McBirney and White (1982), and plate boundary locations are from Guffanti and Weaver (1988). Mount Shasta's prominence and obvious volcanic character reflect the recency of its activity. Although the present stratocone has been active intermittently during the past quarter of a million years, two of its four major eruptive episodes have occurred since large glaciers retreated from its slopes at the end of the PLEISTOCENE EPOCH, only 10,000 to 12,000 years ago (Christiansen, 1985). -
Geochemistry of Sideromelane and Felsic Glass Shards in Pleistocene Ash Layers at Sites 953, 954, and 9561
Weaver, P.P.E., Schmincke, H.-U., Firth, J.V., and Duffield, W. (Eds.), 1998 Proceedings of the Ocean Drilling Program, Scientific Results, Vol. 157 25. GEOCHEMISTRY OF SIDEROMELANE AND FELSIC GLASS SHARDS IN PLEISTOCENE ASH LAYERS AT SITES 953, 954, AND 9561 Andrey A. Gurenko2 and Hans-Ulrich Schmincke2 ABSTRACT Sideromelane and felsic glass shards from unconsolidated Pleistocene volcaniclastic sediments drilled at Sites 953, 954, and 956 are thought to have derived from submarine and subaerial volcanic eruptions on Gran Canaria (Sites 953 and 954) and Tenerife (Sites 954 and 956). We analyzed these glasses by electron microprobe for major elements and sulfur, chlorine, and fluorine. Sideromelane glasses represent a spectrum from alkali basalt through basanite, hawaiite, mugearite, and tephrite to nephelinite. Felsic glasses have compositions similar to benmoreite, trachyte, and phonolite. Vesiculated mafic and felsic glass shards, which are characterized by low S and Cl concentrations (0.01−0.06 wt% S and 0.01–0.04 wt% Cl), are interpreted to have formed by pyroclastic activity on land or in shallow water and appeared to have been strongly degassed. Vesicle-free blocky glass shards having 0.05−0.13 wt% S are likely to have resulted from submarine eruptions at moderate water depths and represent undegassed or slightly degassed magmas. Cl concentrations range from 0.01 to 0.33 wt% and increase with increasing MgO, suggesting that Cl behaves as an incompatible element during magma crystallization. Concentrations of fluorine (0.04− 0.34 wt% F) are likely to represent undegassed values, and the variations in F/K ratios between 0.02 and 0.24 are believed to reflect those of parental magmas and of the mantle source. -
Magma Emplacement and Deformation in Rhyolitic Dykes: Insight Into Magmatic Outgassing
MAGMA EMPLACEMENT AND DEFORMATION IN RHYOLITIC DYKES: INSIGHT INTO MAGMATIC OUTGASSING Presented for the degree of Ph.D. by Ellen Marie McGowan MGeol (The University of Leicester, 2011) Initial submission January 2016 Final submission September 2016 Lancaster Environment Centre, Lancaster University Declaration I, Ellen Marie McGowan, hereby declare that the content of this thesis is the result of my own work, and that no part of the work has been submitted in substantially the same form for the award of a higher degree elsewhere. This thesis is dedicated to Nan-Nar, who sadly passed away in 2015. Nan, you taught our family the importance and meaning of love, we love you. Abstract Exposed rhyolitic dykes at eroded volcanoes arguably provide in situ records of conduit processes during rhyolitic eruptions, thus bridging the gap between surface and sub-surface processes. This study involved micro- to macro-scale analysis of the textures and water content within shallow (emplacement depths <500 m) rhyolitic dykes at two Icelandic central volcanoes. It is demonstrated that dyke propagation commenced with the intrusion of gas- charged currents that were laden with particles, and that the distribution of intruded particles and degree of magmatic overpressure required for dyke propagation were governed by the country rock permeability and strength, with pre-existing fractures playing a pivotal governing role. During this stage of dyke evolution significant amounts of exsolved gas may have escaped. Furthermore, during later magma emplacement within the dyke interiors, particles that were intruded and deposited during the initial phase were sometimes preserved at the dyke margins, forming dyke- marginal external tuffisite veins, which would have been capable of facilitating persistent outgassing during dyke growth. -

And Post-Laramide Geology of the South-Central
Syn- and post-Laramide geology of the south-central Gravelly Range, southwestern Montana by Ernest Jan Luikart A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Earth Sciences Montana State University © Copyright by Ernest Jan Luikart (1997) Abstract: The geologic history of post-Laramide basin evolution in the foreland of southwestern Montana has been a matter of controversy. A complex assemblage of Upper Cretaceous to Tertiary sedimentary and volcanic rocks which record some of that history are exposed on and near the crest of the Gravelly Range. Past interpretations of their relations and tectonic implications conflict. The present investigation of a portion of the southern Gravelly Range crest helps to resolve the physical stratigraphy and ages of the post-Laramide deposits and suggests the following sequence of events: (1) syn- and post-Laramide erosional beveling of the Madison-Gravelly arch; (2) Late Cretaceous deposition of quartzite gravel from a thrust belt source, locally containing Archean metamorphic clasts from a foreland source; (3) conformable transition to deposition of limestone conglomerate derived from the Blacktail-Snowcrest arch, with interbedded siltstone, sandstone and lacustrine limestone, deposited prior to the end of Laramide deformation; (4) final movement of Laramide faults; (5) erosion represented by a 28-38 my-long unconformity; (6) deposition of tuffaceous mudstones beginning in the Duchesnean (40-37 Ma) and proceeding into the Whitneyan (32-29 Ma) interrupted by erosion at about 32 Ma; (7) eruption of basalt flows from local vents between 33 and 30 Ma; (8) minor erosion followed by early Miocene (23 Ma) eruption of an isolated mafic volcanic center; (9) emplacement of Huckleberry Ridge Tuff at 2.1 Ma after erosion or nondeposition of Miocene strata; (10) significant uplift of the range in Quaternary time; (11) Pleistocene deposition of glacial moraines in the deeper valleys, and ongoing mass-movement and colluvial processes. -

The basaltic andesite contains two populations of plagioclase phenocrysts. The 26 first, volumetrically dominant population consists of oscillatory-zoned phenocrysts with 27 an overall normal zonation trend towards comparatively sodic rims (An55-65), interrupted 28 by dissolution features and spikes in calcium content (up to ~An85). The second 29 population consists of phenocrysts with highly calcic compositions (~An90). These 30 phenocrysts contain sharp decreases in calcium content close to their rims (reaching as 1 31 low as ~An60), but are otherwise texturally and compositionally homogeneous. 32 Groundmass plagioclase microlites are generally much more calcic than rims of the first 33 phenocryst population, with more than 50% of measured microlites containing >An80. -
