Continental and Island Rhyolites
The production of small volume silicic rocks in areas of oceanic crust is understood with less certainty than the production of silicic rocks in a continental setting. While the anatexis of silicic continental crust produces rhyolites within a continent, it is unlikely to occur in Iceland, an island composed of basaltic oceanic crust. After analyzing rhyolitic samples I collected from multiple ...
متن کاملSeasonal and interannual variation of streamflow pathways and biogeochemical implications in semi-arid, forested catchments in Valles Caldera, New Mexico
Pathways of streamflow were investigated using geochemical tracers in ungauged headwater and higher-order streams in the semi-arid, forested, Valles Caldera, New Mexico. Combining diagnostic tools of mixing models and endmember mixing analysis (EMMA) shows that streamflow at East Fork Jemez River and San Antonio West (both > 120 km2) was controlled by mixing of three endmembers: near-surface ru...
متن کاملosl dating of a lacustrine to fluvial transitional sediment sequence in Valle toledo, Valles caldera, new Mexico
Quaternary lacustrine deposits exist within several valleys in the Valles caldera in northcentral New Mexico . These deposits contain potentially valuable paleoclimatic records . We report OSL ages for a section of unconsolidated Quaternary sediments exposed in the southwest part of Valle Toledo within Valles caldera . The sequence represents the transition over time from lacustrine to fluvial ...
متن کاملStreamflow generation from snowmelt in semi-arid, seasonally snow-covered, forested catchments, Valles Caldera, New Mexico
[1] Streamflow generation in the semiarid, seasonally snow-covered, and forested mountain catchments of the Valles Caldera, New Mexico, was investigated using chemical tracers. Samples were collected from snow, subsurface flow from hillslopes, and streamflow at Redondo and La Jara Creeks from December 2004 to July 2005. A new modeling procedure was developed by combining diagnostic tools of mix...
متن کاملCrystal scale anatomy of a dying supervolcano: an isotope and geochronology study of individual phenocrysts from voluminous rhyolites of the Yellowstone caldera
A voluminous ([600 km) and long-lived (*520–75 ka) phase of rhyolitic eruptions followed collapse of the Yellowstone caldera 640 ka. Whether these eruptions represent a dying cycle, or the growth of a new magma chamber, remains an important question. We use new U–Th zircon ages and dO values determined by ion microprobe, and sanidine Pb isotope ratios determined by laser ablation, to investigat...
