HLP Workshop Details Announced |
|
The first official workshop of the HLP project will be held in Bend, Oregon from July 19-21. The Workshop will consist of pre- and post-conference field trips to examine the differences between Cascade volcanism and that expressed in the western-most HLP volcano, Newberry Volcano. Expected attendance will be on the order of 40 scientists and students interested in the causes of volcanism and tectonism in the High Lava Plains. The workshop program can be found on the "Upcoming Events" pages.

Miami U Students involved in HLP Project |

Ninad Bondre, Ph.D. student. One portion of Ninad's Ph.D. research is focused on the tectonomagmatic development of the Jordan Valley Volcanic Field of southeastern Oregon. This volcanic field lies at the northern edge of the Owyhee Plateau and encompasses a number of monogenetic basalt vents ranging from approximately 5 Ma to 10 ka in age. The products of these magmatic systems are chemically and isotopically heterogeneous and range from olivine tholeiites to mildly ne-normative alkaline basalts, including relatively primitive compositions.
