Includes the following sessions:
T13. The Yellowstone Hotspot Province: prehistory, timing, extent, volcanic products, and hydrothermal consequences
Convenors: Arron Steiner (arron@wsu.edu), John Wolff (jawolff@mail.wsu.edu), Martin Streck (streckm@pdx.edu)
This session will focus on volcanism of the Yellowstone hotspot, including Miocene–Quaternary units of the Columbia River Basalts, Snake River Plain, High Lava Plains, and northern Nevada. Included topics: timing and extent; Oligocene and earlier precursor magmatism; magma dynamics and crustal melts; consequences of associated hydrothermal activity; and crustal modification. (Both oral & poster.)
T14. Magmatism of the Columbia River Flood Basalt Province
Convenors: Seth Burgess (sburgess@usgs.gov), Michael Sawlan (msawlan@usgs.gov)
This session focuses on the evolution of the Columbia River flood basalt province as viewed from diverse perspectives, including (but not limited to) geochemistry, geochronology, stratigraphy, volcanology, and geophysics. (Oral.)
