Pumice and scoria layers from Mount Rainier volcano (note layers R, L, D, and C) typically are stained to fairly strong brown or reddish brown; interbedded lithic ash deposits have relatively neutral but somewhat darker brownish-gray colors. Ash beds from other volcanoes (note beds marked 0, set Y, set P, and WI characteristically are lighter in color than the locally derived deposits that enclose them.

Geology and Structural Evolution of the Foss River-Deception Creek Area, Cascade Mountains, Washington
AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF James William McDougall for the degree of Master of Science in Geology presented on Lune, icnct Title: GEOLOGY AND STRUCTURALEVOLUTION OF THE FOSS RIVER-DECEPTION CREEK AREA,CASCADE MOUNTAINS, WASHINGTOV, Redacted for Privacy Abstract approved: Robert S. Yekis Southwest of Stevens Pass, Washington,immediately west of the crest of the Cascade Range, pre-Tertiaryrocks include the Chiwaukum Schist, dominantly biotite-quartzschist characterized by a polyphase metamorphic history,that correlates with schistose basement east of the area of study.Pre-Tertiary Easton Schist, dominated by graphitic phyllite, is principallyexposed in a horst on Tonga Ridge, however, it also occurs eastof the horst.Altered peridotite correlated to Late Jurassic IngallsComplex crops out on the western margin of the Mount Stuart uplift nearDeception Pass. The Mount Stuart batholith of Late Cretaceous age,dominantly granodiorite to tonalite, and its satellite, the Beck lerPeak stock, intrude Chiwaukum Schist, Easton Schist, andIngalls Complex. Tertiary rocks include early Eocene Swauk Formation, a thick sequence of fluviatile polymictic conglomerateand arkosic sandstone that contains clasts resembling metamorphic and plutonic basement rocks in the northwestern part of the thesis area.The Swauk Formation lacks clasts of Chiwaukum Schist that would be ex- pected from source areas to the east and northeast.The Oligocene (?) Mount Daniel volcanics, dominated by altered pyroclastic rocks, in- trude and unconformably overlie the Swauk Formation.The -

Climate Change Impacts on Water Management in the Puget Sound Region, Washington, USA Julie A
Climate Change Impacts on Water Management in the Puget Sound Region, Washington, USA Julie A. Vano1, Nathalie Voisin1, Lan Cuo1,2, Alan F. Hamlet1,2, Marketa McGuire Elsner2, Richard N. Palmer3, Austin Polebitski1, and Dennis P. Lettenmaier1,2 Abstract limate change is projected to result, on average, in earlier snowmelt and reduced summer flows, patterns that are not well represented in the historical observations used for planning and reliability analyses by water utilities. CWe extend ongoing efforts in the Puget Sound basin cities of Everett, Seattle, and Tacoma to characterize differences between historic and future streamflow and the ability of the region’s water supply systems to meet future demands. We use future streamflow simulations for the 2020s, 2040s, and 2080s from the Distributed Hydrology-Soil- Vegetation Model (DHSVM), driven by climate simulations archived by the 2007 Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). We use ensembles of streamflow predictions produced by DHSVM forced with multiple downscaled ensembles from the IPCC climate models as inputs to reservoir system models for the Everett, Seattle, and Tacoma water supply systems. Over the next century, under average conditions all three systems are projected to experience a decline and eventual disappearance of the springtime snowmelt peak in their inflows. How these shifts impact water management depends on the specifics of the reservoir system and their operating objectives, site-specific variations in the influence that reductions in snowmelt have on reservoir inflows, and the adaptive capacity of each system. Without adaptations, average seasonal drawdown of reservoir storage is projected to increase in all of the systems throughout the 21st century. -
Evolution of Deformation in the Buck Mountain Fault Damage Zone, Cambrian Flathead Sandstone, Teton Range, Wyoming Stephanie R
Pan-American Current Research on Fluid Inclusions Rice University, Houston, Texas, U.S.A., June 12-14, 2018, Abstract Volume Evolution of deformation in the Buck Mountain Fault damage zone, Cambrian Flathead Sandstone, Teton Range, Wyoming Stephanie R. FORSTNER, Stephen E. LAUBACH, András FALL Bureau of Economic Geology, Jackson School of Geosciences, The University of Texas at Austin, Austin, Texas, U.S.A. E-mail: [email protected] The Teton Range is a normal fault block that contains older reverse faults (Love et al., 1992). Although generally considered to be Late Cretaceous to early Tertiary structures, the timing, kinematic style, and history of these faults is conjectural. Faults include the Forellen Peak Fault to the north, the Buck Mountain Reverse Fault (BMRF) to the west and south, and the Teton normal fault to the east (Love et al., 1992). The BMRF is rooted in Precambrian crystalline rocks and dips steeply to the east about 60°. The fractured Cambrian Flathead sandstone, an orthoquartzite (90%+ quartz), rests nonconformably on the Precambrian. Its stratigraphic position and relative isotropic mineralogy make the Flathead an ideal horizon for studying brittle deformation. Oriented Flathead hand samples were collected from the footwall of the BMRF along a partially overturned syncline (Figure 1). Continuous SEM-Cathodoluminescence (SEM-CL) scanlines of these samples allow for a systematic kinematic analysis of the cemented opening-mode fractures. We quantify attributes such as; geometry, spacing, orientation, and cross-cutting relationships. In isotropic rock, mode-I fractures primarily propagate along the plane perpendicular to Shmin; therefore, microfractures can be used to indicate paleostress trajectories, strain, and relative fracture timing (Anders et al., 2014; Hooker et al. -

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE for More Information Timothy Coleman, Kettle Range Conservation Group 509-775-2667 | Tcoleman@Kettlerange
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE For More Information Timothy Coleman, Kettle Range Conservation Group 509-775-2667 | [email protected] For Immediate Release: May 13, 2021 Lawsuit Filed to Protect Ancient Forest & Wildlife Sanpoil Timber Sale Challenged Spokane, WA. The Kettle Range Conservation Group filed a complaint yesterday in federal district court challenging the Sanpoil timber project in the Kettle River Range, located in the Colville National Forest in northeast Washington. The U.S. Forest Service predicts the timber sale will produce 50-60 million board feet of timber, enough to fill an estimated 10- 12,000 logging trucks. The Project threatens to cut down ancient forests, destroy wildlife habitat, and ruin pristine wilderness areas. The complaint contends the decision approving the Sanpoil Project was arbitrary and capricious, and that the Forest Service failed to evaluate the Project’s effects on the upper Sanpoil River watershed. “This project is going to change the forest landscape for decades to come,” said Timothy Coleman, executive director of the Kettle Range Conservation Group. “The project provides for the logging more than 10,000 acres, much of which will be clearcut, or have just a couple of trees left standing per acre.” The Forest Service recently completed two other projects adjacent to the Sanpoil area of the Kettle River Range, and has two more projects already in the planning phase. Conservationists allege the Forest Service failed to consider the cumulative effects of these projects on Colville’s recreation, wildlife, ancient forests and pristine wilderness areas. “Unlogged wild forests are our primary source of clean water, and contribute significantly to the health of fish and wildlife,” Coleman said. -

Plaintiff Kettle Range Conservation Group (“KRCG” or “Plaintiff”) 3 challenges the final decision by the United States Forest Service (“Forest Service”) 4 to proceed With the Sanpoil Project (“the Project”), because of its failure to perform 5 a meaningful analysis of the environmental impacts of alloWing timber harvests, 6 controlled burns, and road work within 47,956 acres (the “Project Area”) of the 7 Colville National Forest (“Colville Forest” or “Forest”). KRCG also challenges the 8 Forest Service’s final decision approving the 2019 Colville National Forest Land 9 Management Plan (“2019 Forest Plan” or “Plan”), because it fails to protect old- 10 growth trees from logging through projects such as the Sanpoil Project. -
