Bailey received his B.A. in geology from Brown University in 1951 and his M.Sc. from Cornell University in 1953. He was a Fulbright Scholar in New Zealand in 1956, where he met his wife Patrice and began his career-long professional attachments. Roy began his career with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) as camp cook and geologic field assistant in New Mexico during the summers of 1950–52, and became a full-time geologist with the USGS in 1953 in Reston, Va. After work- ing 16 years as a geologist, he returned to graduate school at the Johns Hopkins University from 1969 to 1971, completing his Ph.D. in 1978 under the USGS Employee Training Program. His research with the USGS focused primarily on the study of large silicic volcanic systems. His fruitful collaboration with Robert L. Smith and Clarence S. Ross led to the publication of classic papers on resurgent calderas and chemical zonation in magma reservoirs. Roy’s principal field efforts involved geologic map- ping of Valles Caldera (Jemez Mountains, N.Mex.) and the Long Valley volcanic field in eastern California. Through careful mapping of the volcanic rocks in eastern California, he was able to identify the source of the widespread Bishop Tuff as a large resurgent caldera at the base of the eastern Sierra Nevada escarpment, now known as Long Valley Caldera. During the 1960s, Roy was an instructor in the National Aeronautics & Space Administration (NASA)’s Apollo training program, tutoring astronauts in the recognition of lunar volcanic features by comparing them to similar features on the Earth. During 1980–83, he served as coordinator of the USGS Volcano Hazards Program, which was greatly increased in size and com- plexity after the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens, Wash. In this managerial role, he deftly guided the Survey’s expanded moni- toring and research activities in Hawaii, Alaska, and the conterminous United States. In 1983, he rotated back into a research position, moved to Menlo Park, Calif., in 1984, and resumed his studies of the Long Valley volcanic field, where escalating seismicity and magmatic unrest raised concerns about a possible eruption. He retired in 1995, after 42 years of service, and continued working essentially full time as a Pecora Fellow (1995–97) and as Scientist Emeritus with the USGS Volcano Hazards Team (1997–2003). Roy was a Fellow of both the Geological Society of America and the Mineralogical Society of America and held member- ship in the American Geophysical Union and the Commission on Explosive Volcanism of the International Association of Vol- canology and Chemistry of the Earth’s Interior. Throughout his long and distinguished career, Roy was recognized by his peers for his perceptive geologic observations and exceptional mapping skills. His carefully documented studies of the products and processes of large explosive eruptions contributed to fundamental understanding of the evolution of caldera-forming magmatic systems. —David P.

Tucson, Arizona 10 July 2013 www.escholarship.org/uc/item/7pt4r7vt INTRODUCTION The analysis here of artifacts mainly produced from high silica rhyolite is an attempt to provide a beginning data base for further artifact provenance studies in central Arizona. An intensive oxide and trace element analysis of the artifacts indicates a strong preference for high silica volcanics for the production of stone tools including dart points such as the ones figured on the cover page. None of the artifacts can be assigned to source at this time. The assemblage appears to be a Late Archaic/Cienega Phase assemblage rather typical of the region (Sliva 2...).

  • Derivation of Intermediate to Silicic Magma from the Basalt Analyzed at the Vega 2 Landing Site, Venus
    RESEARCH ARTICLE Derivation of intermediate to silicic magma from the basalt analyzed at the Vega 2 landing site, Venus J. Gregory Shellnutt* National Taiwan Normal University, Department of Earth Sciences, Taipei, Taiwan * [email protected] Abstract a1111111111 a1111111111 Geochemical modeling using the basalt composition analyzed at the Vega 2 landing site a1111111111 indicates that intermediate to silicic liquids can be generated by fractional crystallization and a1111111111 equilibrium partial melting. Fractional crystallization modeling using variable pressures (0.01 a1111111111 GPa to 0.5 GPa) and relative oxidation states (FMQ 0 and FMQ -1) of either a wet (H2O = 0.5 wt%) or dry (H2O = 0 wt%) parental magma can yield silicic (SiO2 > 60 wt%) composi- tions that are similar to terrestrial ferroan rhyolite. Hydrous (H2O = 0.5 wt%) partial melting can yield intermediate (trachyandesite to andesite) to silicic (trachydacite) compositions at OPEN ACCESS all pressures but requires relatively high temperatures ( 950ÊC) to generate the initial melt Citation: Shellnutt JG (2018) Derivation of at intermediate to low pressure whereas at high pressure (0.5 GPa) the first melts will be intermediate to silicic magma from the basalt generated at much lower temperatures (< 800ÊC).

  • Science Concept 5: Lunar Volcanism Provides a Window Into the Thermal and Compositional Evolution of the Moon
    Science Concept 5: Lunar Volcanism Provides a Window into the Thermal and Compositional Evolution of the Moon Science Concept 5: Lunar volcanism provides a window into the thermal and compositional evolution of the Moon Science Goals: a. Determine the origin and variability of lunar basalts. b. Determine the age of the youngest and oldest mare basalts. c. Determine the compositional range and extent of lunar pyroclastic deposits. d. Determine the flux of lunar volcanism and its evolution through space and time. INTRODUCTION Features of Lunar Volcanism The most prominent volcanic features on the lunar surface are the low albedo mare regions, which cover approximately 17% of the lunar surface (Fig. 5.1). Mare regions are generally considered to be made up of flood basalts, which are the product of highly voluminous basaltic volcanism. On the Moon, such flood basalts typically fill topographically-low impact basins up to 2000 m below the global mean elevation (Wilhelms, 1987). The mare regions are asymmetrically distributed on the lunar surface and cover about 33% of the nearside and only ~3% of the far-side (Wilhelms, 1987). Other volcanic surface features include pyroclastic deposits, domes, and rilles. These features occur on a much smaller scale than the mare flood basalts, but are no less important in understanding lunar volcanism and the internal evolution of the Moon. Table 5.1 outlines different types of volcanic features and their interpreted formational processes. TABLE 5.1 Lunar Volcanic Features Volcanic Feature Interpreted Process

    LUNAR TOPOGRAPHIC ORTHOPHOTOMAP (LTO) AND LUNAR ORTHOPHOTMAP (LO) SERIES (Published by DMATC) Lunar Topographic Orthophotmaps and Lunar Orthophotomaps Scale: 1:250,000 Projection: Transverse Mercator Sheet Size: 25.5”x 26.5” The Lunar Topographic Orthophotmaps and Lunar Orthophotomaps Series are the first comprehensive and continuous mapping to be accomplished from Apollo Mission 15-17 mapping photographs. This series is also the first major effort to apply recent advances in orthophotography to lunar mapping. Presently developed maps of this series were designed to support initial lunar scientific investigations primarily employing results of Apollo Mission 15-17 data. Individual maps of this series cover 4 degrees of lunar latitude and 5 degrees of lunar longitude consisting of 1/16 of the area of a 1:1,000,000 scale Lunar Astronautical Chart (LAC) (Section 4.2.1). Their apha-numeric identification (example – LTO38B1) consists of the designator LTO for topographic orthophoto editions or LO for orthophoto editions followed by the LAC number in which they fall, followed by an A, B, C or D designator defining the pertinent LAC quadrant and a 1, 2, 3, or 4 designator defining the specific sub-quadrant actually covered. The following designation (250) identifies the sheets as being at 1:250,000 scale. The LTO editions display 100-meter contours, 50-meter supplemental contours and spot elevations in a red overprint to the base, which is lithographed in black and white. LO editions are identical except that all relief information is omitted and selenographic graticule is restricted to border ticks, presenting an umencumbered view of lunar features imaged by the photographic base.

  • Comparison of Hawaiian Basalts By: Alex Van Ningen and Adam Sagaser Geology 422: Petrology 5/2/2014 Introduction
    COMPARISON OF HAWAIIAN BASALTS BY: ALEX VAN NINGEN AND ADAM SAGASER GEOLOGY 422: PETROLOGY 5/2/2014 INTRODUCTION • The Hawaiian Islands were formed as a result of the Pacific Plate moving Northwest over a hotspot in the Earth’s mantle. • The islands in the southeast are the youngest and most volcanically active. • Hawai’i (the Big Island) is composed of a group of five volcanoes, with Mauna Loa being the world’s largest volcano and Kilauea being the world’s most active volcano (Saini-eidukat and Schwert, 2013). Image Source: U.S.G.S. Kauai Niihau Oahu Molokai Lanai Maui Kahoolawe Hawai’i Photo coutesy of: NASA HAWAI’I (THE BIG ISLAND) • Two samples were obtained from the big island. Sample 130309 was obtained from Kohala and sample 130315 was obtained from Hualalai. • Our initial hypothesis was that the sample from Kohala is a benmorite, and the sample from Hualalai is a basalt. Image source: U.S.G.S. RESEARCH & METHODS Sample: 130315 • To begin, we took our samples and put them in a jaw crusher. • For sample number 130315, there was some olivine and calcite that may have formed as a xenolith. An attempt was made to remove as much of the secondary minerals as possible. Sample: 130309 • Both samples were taken to Dr. Lewis’s lab, where a ring pulverizer was used to grind the fragments into a powder. • Thin sections were also prepared for conceptual purposes. RESEARCH & METHODS • Both sets of powder underwent loss on ignition (LOI) in a muffle furnace. This was initially done at 105⁰C.

Wham Cerro Seco is one of six post-caldera rhyolite domes in the northern moat of the Valles Caldera, New Mexico. This study presents detailed mapping as well as petrographic and geochemical analysis of Cerro Seco’s eruptive units and surrounding lacustrine deposits. Cerro Seco’s eruptive members were previously mapped as three separate units: two flow units (lavas Qvse1 and Qvse2), and a pyroclastic unit Qvset. This study has revealed that the pyroclastic unit should be classified as two units: one ignimbrite and one hydromagmatic tuff. Outcrop morphology and pumice clast morphology support a hydromagmatic eruption for the newly classified unit; geochemical analysis illustrates that significant post-emplacement alteration involving water also occurred.
