Abstract: Abstract Small-volume rhyolitic eruptions preceding and following a caldera-forming eruption can provide insights into the tempo of eruption cycles and timing of magmatic recharge. In this contribution, high-precision 40 Ar/ 39 Ar eruption ages were… read more here.

Abstract: The origin of late Cenozoic intraplate volcanism over the western United States is debated. One important reason is the lack of a clear understanding of the mantle dynamics during this volcanic history. Here we reconstruct… read more here.

Abstract: Seismic tomography has provided key insight into Yellowstone’s crustal magmatic system that includes attempts to understand the melt distribution in the subsurface and the current stage of the volcano’s life cycle. We present new tomographic… read more here.
