Continental Intraplate Tectonomagmatism:
A Case Study in the Pacific Northwest

Update #1 - July 2005 PDF

Tim Grove (MIT) and students Jay Barr, Mike Krawczynski, Chris Waters and post-doc Etienne Medard along with Rick Carlson (DTM) followed Julie Donnelly-Nolan (USGS) around Newberry Volcano in 100oF heat (not quite magmatic temperatures, but it felt close) collecting young basalt samples for chemical and isotope analysis. Data to be reported at the July 2006 Workshop. Samples of an unusual Sr and Ti-rich high MgO basalt are undergoing melting experiments at MIT.
