Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This volume contains guides for 34 geological field trips offered in conjunction with the October 2009 GSA Annual Meeting in Portland, Oregon. Showcasing the region's geological diversity, the peer-reviewed papers included here span topics ranging from accreted terrains and mantle plumes to volcanoes, floods, and vineyard terroir. Locations visited throughout Oregon, Washington, and Idaho encompass Astoria to Zillah. More than just a series of maps, the accompanying descriptions, observations, and conclusions offer new insights to the geologic processes and history of the Pacific Northwest - insights that will inspire readers to put their boots on the evidence as they develop their own understanding of this remarkable and dynamic corner of the world."--Publisher's description.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book makes you the tour guide for your group! Janet Chapple shares her tips to pack for your trip, spot wildlife, see the best views, catch geyser eruptions, stay safe, and escape the crowds. The author's passion for the park, which began when her parents worked at Old Faithful Inn in the early twentieth century, shines throughout. Whether you want to hike in the geyser basins and forests, drive the mountain passes, ride horseback, or take a boat out on the lake, the mile-by-mile road logs prepare you. The description is enlivened by entertaining historical anecdotes. This sixth edition, fully updated for 2020 by editor Beth Chapple and geologist Jo-Ann Sherwin, includes which geysers and hot springs are active, the new overlooks at Grand Prismatic Spring and the south rim of the canyon, a new time line of the geology, and explanations of the geological forces like lava flows and the Yellowstone hot spot. The book is in full color with 38 new and revised maps. Charts of the facilities and a field guide to the wildlife and wildflowers round out this comprehensive guide to America's first national park. After the first edition won Gold in the Travel Guides category in ForeWord Magazine's 2002 Book of the Year Awards, later editions won Silver in the IBPA Benjamin Franklin Awards in 2010 and 2018.

This book was released on 2021-09-20 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Yellowstone Volcanic Plateau is the youngest volcanic complex at the leading edge of the Eastern Snake River Plain. The plateau consists of the Heise Volcanic Field, the Island Park Basin, and the Yellowstone National Park volcanic plateau. The Yellowstone Volcanic Plateau begins with discussing the Heise-Island Park volcanic center stratigraphy including ignimbrites and rhyolite units, and their correlatives. Pre- and post-caldera volcanism and eruptive center characteristics are presented before discussing the Yellowstone Plateau region. The Yellowstone Plateau stratigraphy and volcanism includes bimodal eruptive sequences of both rhyolitic and basaltic compositions involving at least three cycles of volcanism, collapse, and resurgence. Hydrothermal activity is associated with the most recent activity in the national park. The final chapter presents an organized field tour of the volcanic plateau beginning with the Heise Volcanic Center and ending with stops within the Grand Loop of Yellowstone National Park. Chapter 1 discusses the Heise Volcanic Center of the Eastern Snake River Plain. Chapter 2 presents post-caldera volcanism of the Heise Volcanic Field. Chapter 3 focuses on the Heise Eruptive Center applying a MELTS model to discuss the constraints on petrogenesis. Chapter 4 begins the Yellowstone Plateau regional discussion. Chapter 5 presents magmo-tectonic evolution. Chapter 6 continues the evolution cycle with discussing the evolution of the Snake River Plain and the Yellowstone volcanic axis. Chapter 7 discusses the origin and evolution of Yellowstone magmas. Chapter 8 presents a discussion on future volcanism in Yellowstone. Chapter 9 begins with an organized field tour of the Yellowstone Volcanic Plateau starting with the Heise volcanic center (5 stops). West Yellowstone National Park follows with 4 stops plus an optional side trip before entering the main Grand Loop portion of the tour (15 stops). Each segment of the field tour represents approximately one day excursions with some days taking more time than other days to complete. Some trail hikes are included with specific stops.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of papers is based on a symposium held in 1987 at the Interna tional Union of Geology and Geodesy Congress in Vancouver, British Colum bia. The Symposium was planned as a follow-up to a session at the 1984 Geo logical Society of America Annual Meeting in Reno, Nevada, which dealt with the emplacement of silicic lava domes. In both cases, emphasis was placed on the physical and mechanical rather than chemical aspects of lava flow. The IUGG Symposium consisted of two lecture sessions, a poster session, and two discussion periods, and had 22 participants. The contributions to this volume are all based on papers presented in the various parts of the Sym posium. The motivation for studying lava flow mechanics is both practical and scientific. Scientists and government agencies seek to more effectively predict the hazards associated with active lavas. Recovering mineral resources found in lava flows and domes also requires an understanding of their emplacement. From a more theoretical standpoint, petrologists view lava studies as a way to directly observe the rheologic consequences of mixing crystals, bubbles, and solid blocks of country rock with silicate liquids. This information can then be used to constrain processes occurring in the concealed conduits, dikes, and chambers that feed flows and domes on the surface.
