Investigating interactions between active volcanoes and tectonics (fault zones) is important for understanding how continental rifts grow and evolve over time. Modern researchers use geodetic data, geologic models, and computer simulations of rift processes; like volcanic eruptions and fault movement; to understand how stress in transferred and material deforms due to rift activity. We are especially interested in understanding the stress interactions when volcanic eruptions and earthquakes happen together over a short time period. Our projects apply these tools to examine a segment of the largest active continental rift zone, the Natron Rift in the East African Rift System (EARS), to understand more about the details of these volcano-tectonic interactions when continents break apart (rifting). We first present results that stress transferred to the Natron Fault associated with magmatic activity from the volcano Ol Doinyo Lengai may trigger a major fault to move. Next, we continue our investigations into volcano-tectonic interactions by seeing how volcanic properties could affect stress transferred in the Natron Rift region. We choose to initially test stress variations associated with different 1) topography surfaces, 2) material properties, and 3) reservoir volumes associated with the volcano Ol Doinyo Lengai using a more advanced computer modeling approach. This deeper investigation provides information about the individual roles these parameters play in a younger rift region. We present results that topography has the most influence on the stress transferred to the Natron Fault in our models, and that the other parameters did not play a large role in influencing the stress transferred. Finally we work to increase the ability for researchers to perform geodetic studies in the Natron Rift by providing a new method to share surface displacement data at an unprecedented 1 position a second rate (near real-time). This new method is a data broker application called GNSS2CHORDS that can stream cm precision displacement data to an online cybertool called CHORDS. With our models and data provided through open source methods this work contributes significantly to our understanding of volcano-tectonic interactions.

Portland, Oregon, lies within an active tectonic margin, which puts the city at risk to hazards from earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. The young Juan de Fuca microplate is subducting under North America, introducing not only arc magmatism into the overlying plate, but also interplate and intraplate seismicity related to the subduction zone. Large crustal earthquakes are also probable in Portland because of the oblique strike-slip Portland Hills Fault zone. These hazards create risk to Portland residents and infrastructure because of pre-existing vulnerabilities. Much of Portland's downtown area, including the government and business districts, is at risk of ground shaking infrastructure damage, liquefaction and landslides due to earthquakes. Additionally, the city is within 110 km of three active Cascadia stratovolcanoes, two of which pose hazards from tephra and lahars. Though the city is under the umbrella of four emergency response plans-city, county, state and federal-there are critical gaps in mitigation strategies, emergency exercises and community education and outreach. Portland cannot prevent earthquakes or volcanic eruptions, but the city can reduce its vulnerability to these hazards.

Full textIn this PhD thesis, 47 new ages have been obtained by the Cassignol-Gillot technique. The very good reproducibility of the ages obtained in this study, added to a strict consistency observed between the volcanic edifices, support the use of the K-Ar method in the dating of the East Carpathian lavas (Călimani-Gurghiu-Harghita) and ignimbrite deposits of the North Hungarian (Mátra and Bükk Mts. [western Carpathians]). In the Eastern part, this new geochronological dataset has been combined with geomorphological analyses to constrain the volcanic history as well as to compute construction and erosion rates of those volcanoes. In parallel, in the western part geochronological dataset has been combined with available paleomagnetic data to refine their stratigraphy. The East Carpathian volcanic range experienced an along-arc, Late Miocene to Quaternary migration of eruptive activity. Here, a novel and complex methodology are presented that yields new geochronological and geomorphological constraints on the evolution of the 20 volcanic edifices. New unspiked K-Ar ages either constrain their lifespan (6.79- 6.47 Ma for Seaca-Tătarca; 5.47- 4.61 Ma for Vârghiş) or date the youngest volcanic activity (central Călimani). For Ciomadul volcanic complex composed by a dozen of lava domes, which hosts the recent volcanic activity since the last 1 Ma, its activity has been constrained between 704± 18 ka and 28 ± 1 ka with several quiescence periods. In parallel, numerical reconstructions of volcanic paleo-topographies were performed to quantify their shape at the end of their construction stage. The inferred initial volcano size shows a wide range (3±3 to 592±115 km³), making up the four main successive volcanic segments (910, 880, 279 and 165 km³ for Călimani, Gurghiu,North Harghita and South Harghita segment, respectively) totalizing 2300 km³. Volume and age constraints allowed computing an average growth rate of 200 km³/Ma for the whole range, characterized by an initial moderate growth rate (137 km³/Ma) of the older volcanoes (11-3.6 Ma) followed by a lower growth rate (28 km³/Ma) obtained for the Plio-Quaternary volcanoes. Comparing reconstructed and current topographies yielded a total eroded volume of 524±125 km³, defining averaged denudation of 22% and a 20 m/Ma erosion rate. Erosion rates for major climatic periods were computed, which highlight the contrasting climatic contexts since 11 Ma. The highest erosion rate (38 m/Ma) occurred during a transitional moderate subtropical continental climate period (9.5-8.2 Ma). An intermediate erosion rate (14m/Ma) characterized a moderate continental climate period (8.2-6.8 Ma) when conditions became less humid. The lowest erosion rate (7 m/Ma) reflects the prevailing continental but occasionally semi-arid climate (6.8-5.8 Ma). The highest erosion rate (28m/Ma) was obtained for Plio-Quaternary times during the interglacial/glacial cycles. Such a quantitative morphometric and geochronological approach demonstrates its efficiency to study volcanic dynamism, including both constructional and erosional processes, through time. In the western part of the Carpathian range, the new ages obtained on the lava flows of Börzsöny made it possible to constraint its period of activity between 14.27 - 15.11 Ma. For the Miocene ignimbrite of Bükk foreland, the new K-Ar results range between 12.7 - 16.5 Ma

Full textThe Cainozoic volcanic activity in the Arabian plate offers an excellent opportunity to study the intra-plate volcanism related to a complex tectonic setting. After the emplacement of the Yemeni-Ethiopian continental flood basalt plateau, ~ 31 Ma, since the Late Oligocene, widespread volcanic activity has erupted, accompanying the separation of the Arabian-Nubian Shield (development of Red Sea rifting) and the convergence between the Arabian and Eurasian plates (building of the Bitlis-Zagros thrust belts). In the northern part of the Arabian platform, the Syrian volcanism has taken place in a general compressional context, surrounding the Palmyride fold belt and adjacent to other deformation zones (e.g. the Euphrates graben and Dead Sea fault system). This thesis focuses on the volcano-tectonic evolution of the northern part of the Arabia plate, particularly in Syria, and essentially combines geochronological, geochemical, and morpho-structural studies, in addition to supplementary geophysical models. Our morpho-structural analyses of the Harrat Ash Shaam volcanic province (HASV) to the south of Palmyride, digitally characterise more than 800 monogenic volcanic cones placed in Syria, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia. These new data, together with the availability of sediment thickness data, give rise to a new volcano-tectonic approach. This study shows that the consistent negative correlation between the intensity of volcanism and basement depth is influenced by the tectonic setting. The normative analysis of the distribution of volcanic cones in relation to sediment thicknesses is critical when comparing the extension of tectonics in different zones. Remote sensing imagery, field work and our > 40 new K-Ar ages dataset ranging from ~0.05 million years (Ma) to ~18 Ma allow us to precise the Syria volcano-tectonic evolution through time. Regarding the youngest lava flows of HASV, the integration of the results makes it possible to suggest a chronological model for the alteration processes in relation to Quaternary palaeoclimatic changes. We reconstruct the volcano-tectonic evolution in Syria during the Cainozoic, and suggest different extension styles to explain the volcanism. It started during the Late Oligocene and the Early Miocene, between ~26 Ma and ~16 Ma to the South of Palmyride at HASV in an extensional tectonic context. From the Miocene to the Quaternary, between ~19 Ma and ~0.08 Ma, the volcanism developed to the North under second order extension tectonic conditions. Since the Mid-Miocene, the compression has increased and the magma erupted in relation with a possible counter-clockwise rotation tectonic relative motion. South of Palmyride it corresponds to the widespread eruptive phase during the last 13 Ma. To the North, this phase, linked to rotational tectonics appears concentrated in superficies and time; it corresponds to the Homs plateau, NW Palmyride, between 6.3 and 4.3 Ma. We suggest a new volcano-tectonic evolution model for the HASV. It highlights the essential role of lithosphere heterogeneity beneath Lebanon, in particular the anti Lebanon Mountains and Palmyride thrust belts, in triggering the Mid-Miocene volcanism. Our geophysical models estimate mean lithosphere – asthenosphere boundaries at about 150 km depth. According to geochemical data, the zone of shallowest depth ~110 km, W of HASV, could be the result of a thermal anomaly, instead of an asthenospheric upwelling. Geochemically, the Cainozoic Syrian lavas are alkaline and subalkaline rocks, typical of magma emitted in continental intraplate contexts. They are basanites and tephrites, basalts, basaltic andesites, basaltic trachyandesites, and trachybasalts. Thirty samples from different Syrian volcanic provinces show significant variation in terms of incompatible trace element signatures. Crustal contamination plays a negligible role in the process of magma genesis, as does crystal fractionation, essentially restricted to olivine and clinopyroxene. Our results show that the Syrian lava has been generated by variable rates of partial melting from different levels of a locally heterogeneous lithospheric mantle. The LREE/MREE ratio not only illustrates how the degree of partial melting was changed spatially and temporally during the last ~18 Ma, but it also illustrates how the degree and style of extension tectonics changed through time

Full textThe Mono Basin of eastern California provides an ideal laboratory in which to study the interaction of volcanic and tectonic processes. The late Quaternary geological record of volcanic activity and range-front faulting is relatively complete in the basin. Range-front faults of the Sierra Nevada offset dateable late Pleistocene glacial moraines, thus affording the opportunity to estimate range-front slip rates. The first two chapters concern dating of moraines that are offset by range-front faults.
In Chapter One, I discuss the ages of the glacial moraines of the Mono Basin and their correlation between canyons. I dated the moraines by studying their morphology and the relative weathering of granitic boulders atop their crests, and by use of the clast-sound velocity (CSV) dating technique. The CSV technique consists of measuring the p-wave speed (Vₚ) in morainal boulders. Vₚ decreases with age as boulders weather. Clast-sound velocities enabled statistical division of moraines in each canyon into differently weathered deposits. Relative weathering features of boulder surfaces further helped discern age differences between moraines in a single canyon. Finally, CSV, relative weathering and moraine morphology, considered together, allowed correlation of moraines to an established glacial sequence, and therefore, correlation between canyons. Regression of mean Vₚ against best estimates of glaciation ages within the glacial sequence provided a further check on the validity of the correlations.
Moraines in all major canyons from Lee Vining south were correlative with the standard late Pleistocene sequence of Tioga, Tenaya, Tahoe and Mono Basin deposits. At Lundy Canyon, however, Tahoe and Tenaya moraines are poorly, if at all, preserved. The prominent moraines extending into the basin are probably of Tioga age. Poor preservation of Tenaya and Tahoe deposits may be due to the narrow, steep-sided morphology of Lundy Canyon, and rapid down-dropping on the range-front fault.
In Chapter Two, I discuss the application of a new quantitative dating technique to the moraines of Lee Vining Canyon. At Lee Vining Canyon, I measured cross-sectional profiles of lateral moraines of different ages to determine whether the degree to which they have been degraded could be used as a relative-dating method. Correlation of the degree of moraine degradation against an independent measure of age suggested that relative ages of late Pleistocene lateral moraines can be inferred from moraine profiles.
Analysis of the degradation of moraine profiles with a diffusion model resulted in equations that relate profile width and maximum slope angle to age. In accordance with the diffusion model, the functional relationship between profile width and estimated age was found to be nearly linear for the moraines of Lee Vining Canyon. Fits of model to data were good, despite evidence of transport of material by non-linear diffusive processes along some of the profiles.
Maximum slope angle is inversely proportional to age according to the diffusion model. Regression of mean maximum slope angle against inverse age for the group of moraines from Lee Vining Canyon suggested that the relationship between the two variables is expressed by the diffusion model.
Deviations of model profile shapes from true shapes suggested that in addition to moraine age, initial profile shape and non-diffusive degradation processes are important in controlling the relationship between slope parameters and age over spans of 10⁴ years.
In Chapter Three, I use moraine ages determined in Chapter One to estimate slip rates of range-front faults. For Chapter Three, I measured fault-scarp profiles on the dated lateral moraines of the Mono Basin to determine fault slip rates. I compared these data with what can be deduced about the extension rate due to dike intrusion underneath the Mono Craters. I then considered extension rates in the context of regional strain patterns to infer the mode of deformation and strain relief in the Mono Basin during late Quaternary time.
The extension-rate data indicate that dikes are being intruded underneath the Mono Craters in response to crustal stretching, and because of this, are now accommodating elastic strain that was once accommodated by range-front normal faulting. The section of the range front near the craters accommodated as much as 1 mm/yr of extension until 40,000 to 70,000 years ago. For the past 40,000 to 70,000 years, this section of range front has become inactive, even though extension along the range front to north and south has continued at up to 0.9 mm/yr. Dikes have been intruding underneath the Mono Craters for the past 40,000 years. Depending upon the assumptions used to calculate dike intrusion rates, the dikes accommodate 1 mm/yr of tectonic extension that was previously accommodated by range-front faulting.
Consideration of the extension rates in the context of regional tectonic strain patterns suggests that the Mono Craters are forming along one of the extensional boundary structures of a pull-apart basin, the other extensional boundary of which is the deactivated range-front segment.
If the Mono Craters represent an early stage of caldera formation, then their formation within a pull-apart zone may indicate that this is an ideal tectonic environment in which to form certain types of calderas.

Full textThe Palaeoproterozoic Baoulé-Mossi domain of the West African Craton in northeastern Burkina Faso hosts numerous gold deposits such as Essakane and Tarpako. Integrated strato-tectonic, geophysical, geochemical, geochronological, regional stratigraphic framework and metallogenic studies of the Oudalan-Gorouol volcano-sedimentary Belt and the Gorom-Gorom Granitoid Terrane have provided new insight into the geotectonic evolution of the northeastern part of Burkina Faso. This work outlines the structural context and architecture necessary for forming these deposits. In this work, a new strato-tectonic model is proposed for the area by integrating field data and geophysical, geochemical, and geochronological data. The integrated data highlights and characterizes the setting of the Essakane gold mine and gold camp relative to the location of other regional gold deposits, metamorphosed Birimian Supergroup, intrusive rocks and shear zones. Structural, geochemical and geochronological analyses have helped to clarify the geological evolution of the Oudalan-Gorouol volcano-sedimentary Belt and the Gorom-Gorom Granitoid Terrane during the Tangaean (D1) and Eburnean (D2) orogenies through to the Wabo Tampelse Event (D3). Further to these, zircon U-Pb geochronology data have demonstrated that the Oudalan-Gorouol volcano-sedimentary Belt and the Gorom-Gorom Granitoid Terrane represent some of the oldest outcropping geology in the Palaeoproterozoic Baoulé-Mossi domain recognised to date. The geochronology and geology suggest that the basement or a pre- Birimian crust to the Birimian Supergroup may be found in the northeast of Burkina Faso. The Eburnean Orogeny in northeastern Burkina Faso is preceded by two phases of deformation (D1-x and D1), and two phases of magmatism. The first, D1-x, is associated with the emplacement of the Dori Batholith at the onset of D1 (2164 – 2141 Ma). D1 ductile-brittle deformation formed F1 folds and discrete high-strain mylonite zones that deformed the Oudalan- Gorouol volcano-sedimentary Belt and the Gorom-Gorom Granitoid Terrane during a southwestdirected palaeo-principal compressive stress. The pre-Birimian to Birimian supracrustal rocks and intrusions were regionally metamorphosed during D1 to greenschist to amphibolite facies with development of mineral assemblage of quartz-chlorite-muscovite ± chloritoid to biotite-potash feldspar ± hornblende. D1 is also associated with volcanic arc type calc-alkaline magmatism, producing TTGs enriched in heavy rare earth elements. The Eburnean Orogeny (2130 – 1980 Ma) is characterised by northwest-southeast shortening; it was followed by north-northwest - south-southeast shortening with development of northeast trending sinistral strike-slip faults and shears. D2 brittle-(ductile) deformation is manifested by refolding of F1 by northeast-trending F2, and development of a pervasive northeast-trending S2 to S2-C foliation. Metamorphic grade attained greenschist facies during D2, with development of mineral assemblage of quartz-chlorite-muscovite ± actinolite. The Wabo Tampelse (D3) deformation event is brittle in character and does not significantly affect the regional geological architecture in the study area.
