The journal was patterned after the journal Radiocarbon and covered isotopic age-dating (except carbon-14) on rocks and minerals from the Western Hemisphere. Initially, the geographic scope of papers was restricted to the western half of the United States, but was later expanded. The journal was sponsored and staffed by the New Mexico Bureau of Mines (now Geology) & Mineral Resources and the Nevada Bureau of Mines & Geology.

It has occupied a criti- cal structural position in the western Cordillera since Mesozoic time. In the Cretaceous through early Tertiary, it stood just east and north of major fold and thrust belts and also marked the northern end of a broad, gently (~15o) north-plunging uplift (Kingman arch) that extended southeastward through much of central Arizona. Mesozoic and Paleozoic strata were stripped from the arch by northeast-flowing streams. Peraluminous 65 to 73 Ma granites were emplaced at depths of at least 10 km and exposed in the core of the arch by earliest Miocene time. Calc-alkaline magmatism swept northward through the northern Colorado River extensional corridor during early to middle Miocene time, beginning at ~22 Ma in the south and ~12 Ma in the north.

    CENTER FOR VOLCANIC AND TECrONIC STUDIES1 DEPARTMENT OF GEOSCIENCE University of Nevada, Las Vegas Las Vegas Nevidi.89154 Report No. 56 ANNUAL REPORT for the Period 10/1/90 to 9/30/91 Submitted to the Nudlear Waste Project Office State of Nevada December 14, 1991 'Eugene L Smith-Principal hvestigator. Daniel Feuerbach-Research Associate Terry aaumann-Research Associate 0 9210020232 911231 PDR WASTE WM-11 PDR INTRODUCION The annual report of the Center for Volcanic and Tectonic Studies (CVTS) contains a series of papers, maps, reprints and theses that review the progress made by the CVF`S between October 1, 1990 and September 30, 1991. During this period CVIS staff focused on several topics that had direct relevance to volcanic hazards related to the proposed high-level nuclear waste repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada. These topics included: (1) The role of the mantle in controlling the location and composition of Pliocene- Holocene volcanism. (2) The nature of boundaries between compositionally different mantle domains. These domain boundaries may control the location of surface faults and volcanism. (3) The detailed geology of the Pliocene volcanic cones in Crater Flat (4) The detailed geology of bedrock to the east of Crater Flat on Yucca Mountain. (5) The structural controls and emplacement mechansims of Pliocene/Quaternary basaltic volcanic centers and dikes. (6) The study of young felsic volcanism in the southern Basin and Range. (7) Estimating the probability of disruption of the proposed repository by volcanic eruption (this topic is being studied by Dr. C Ho-UNLV). Activities CV1S presented papers at several professional meetings including (a) The Geological Society of America Cordilleran Section Meeting in San Francisco- March 25-27, 1991.
