  • Petrogenesis of Compositionally Distinct Silicic Volcanoes in The
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Brittain Eames Hill for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Geology presentedon October 17. 1991. Title: Petrogenesis of Compositionally Distinct Silicic Volcanoes in the Three Sisters Region of the Oregon Cascade Range: The Effects of Crustal Extension on the Development of Continental Arc Silicic Magmatism. Abstract Approved Signature redacted for privacy. tuwaru(1. iaylor - The Three Sisters region of the Oregon High Cascades has developed three compositionally and petrogenetically distinct silicic (i.e., Si02 58%)magma systems within the last 600 k.y. These silicic systems evolved from the same High Cascade niafic magma system and developed in thesame 20x30 km area of the arc, but did not interact. The Broken Top system (BT) evolved to 71% Si02 through a combination of plag+px+Fe-Ti oxides±ap (PPFA) fractionation and 20%-35% mixing of rhyolitic (74% Si02) crustal melts. In contrast, part of the Three Sisters system (3S) evolved to 66% SiO2 through PPFA fractionation alone, while other parts evolved to 66% SiO2 through PPFA fractionation coupled with 40% mixing of rhyolitic (72% Si02) crustal melts. The 3S system was intermittently active from s340 ka to 2 ka. The petrogenesis of interme- diate composition rocks at Middle Sister (<340 ka,>100 ka) was controlled by PPFA fractionation to s66% Si02. Rhyolite (72%-76% SiO2) was first erupted in the 3S system at100 ka, at the start of South Sister (SS) volcanismMajor and trace element abundances preclude derivation of 3S rhyolite through crystal fractionation, but are consistent with 20-30% dehydration melting of mafic amphibolite.

  • An Abstract of the Thesis Of
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Shyam Das-Toke for the degree of Master of Science in Geology presented on April 29, 2019 Title: Creating a Predictive Model of Cinder Cone Ages in Central Oregon Abstract approved: ___________________________________________________ Adam J.R. Kent Cinder cones are useful geomorphic features for geological analysis because they generally have known initial states and follow a similar pattern of degradation as they are exposed to erosive processes. Characterizing large cinder cone fields in terms of age and composition requires significant resources, so this study aims to understand the parameters that influence cinder cone evolution in order to create a predictive age model of cones in Central Oregon. We utilize newly available high- resolution topography and new estimates of cinder cone age to evaluate a quantitative model of cone ages. The field site allows assessment of the effects of cone composition and precipitation in governing the morphology of Central Oregon cinder cones through time. We anticipate that these results will allow estimation of the age of individual cones which have not yet been dated directly. Statistical analyses show that younger cones have both significantly steeper slopes and more defined cone craters than older ones. Results also show that increased local precipitation does not appear to significantly influence cone morphology. However, composition as determined by silica content does influence initial morphology, as weight percentages vary by 15% and lead to differences of 8° in cone slope. After cone formation though, erosive processes such as mass wasting are more influential in influencing cones than chemical content. The statistical model of cone age that we create can be used to estimate cinder cone ages throughout the Central Oregon region and can be used in time-volume studies of monogenetic volcanism.

At this facility in Corvallis, Oregon, my staff and I preserve about 12,000 living plants representing collections of important specialty crops, including berries, pears, hazelnuts, mint, hops, and their wild relatives. Our assignment is to collect, maintain, distribute, and evaluate the global genetic diversity of these crops. We’re part of the US National Plant Germplasm System. Th e federal government does good work in germplasm1 conservation through our program! Our facility maintains plants in Type specimen of F. cascadensis.
