Although previous workers have suggested that components of Siletzia were formed Geochemistry in tectonic settings including back arc basins, island arcs and ocean islands, more recent work has presented Geochemical modelling evidence for parts of Siletzia to have formed in response to partial melting of a mantle plume. In this paper, we Mantle plumes integrate geochemical and geochronological data to investigate the petrogenetic evolution of the province. Oceanic plateau Large igneous provinces The major element geochemistry of the Siletzia lava flows is used to determine the compositions of the primary magmas of the province, as well as the conditions of mantle melting. These primary magmas are compositionally similar to modern Ocean Island and Mid-Ocean Ridge lavas. Geochemical modelling of these magmas indicates they predominantly evolved through fractional crystallisation of olivine, pyroxenes, plagioclase, spinel and ap- atite in shallow magma chambers, and experienced limited interaction with crustal components.

    Central Washington University ScholarWorks@CWU Geography Faculty Scholarship College of the Sciences 5-15-2020 Geographies of Empty Spaces on Print and Digital Reference Maps: A Study of Washington State Sterling Quinn Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.cwu.edu/geography Part of the Human Geography Commons DOI: 10.14714/CP95.1591 PEER-REVIEWED ARTICLE Geographies of Empty Spaces on Print and Digital Reference Maps: A Study of Washington State Sterling Quinn Central Washington University [email protected] J. B. Harley’s insistence that “there is no such thing as an empty space on a map” invites critical inquiry into which places are being left blank in popular reference maps, and why. I discuss the myriad reasons that items may not appear on a map, and invite a rethinking of the way selection is conceptualized in cartographic education. In this study, several GIS- supported methods are used to identify and compare consistently empty areas in print and digital maps of Washington State made by Google, Microsoft, OpenStreetMap, Rand McNally, National Geographic, and the state Department of Transportation. I then examine the physical and human landscapes of these places using imagery overlays, queries of land ownership data, and observations from site visits. In the state of Washington, empty spaces on the map are highly con- nected with regional and global economies, and are essential for supporting the needs of urban life such as food, electricity, construction, and waste disposal. City dwellers may not ever see or recognize the intensive land uses occurring in these geographies, whose landowners include an intriguing mix of large industries, multiple levels of government, religious colonies, and individuals searching for space and solitude.
