Thermal regimes of major volcanic centers: Magnetotelluric constraints on the coupling of deep-seated megma genesis to high-level geothermal reservoirs: Progress report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6496390
The objective was a comparative analysis of various silicic centers in the western US which represent different stages in their temporal evolution; the Long Valley and Valles Calderas represent late stages of volcanic evolution, Mono Craters are in an intermediate stage, and Mono Basin potentially represents an early phase of development. By comparing the roots of these features, we place constraints on models for reconstructing the development of high-level silicic magma systems within the framework of extensional tectonics.
