Subject: IAVCEI pre-meeting Field Trip A9
*******************************************************************************************************
IAVCEI Field Trip A9: Continental arc to rift volcanism of the Southern Rocky Mountains – Southern Rocky Mountain, Taos Plateau and Jemez volcanic fields of southern Colorado and northern New Mexico, USA.
We invite you to participate in a six-day, pre-conference field trip to a classic region of North American geology: the Southern Rocky Mountains Volcanic Field, Rio Grande rift, and Valles caldera, Colorado – New Mexico. The themes of the trip, illustrated by the 35 million-year volcanic history of the region, will be: (1) the magmatic response to the tectonic transition from subducted-slab arc to continental-rift volcanism; (2) the nature and temporal evolution of rift magmas; (3) fault controls on the spatial evolution of rift magmatism; (4) the diversity of continental-arc ignimbrite volcanism and associated lavas; (5) ignimbrite caldera structure and associated intrusions in 3-D; (6) the role of recycled crystal mush and magmatic cumulates during growth of Cordilleran batholiths; and (7) high-precision geochronological contributions to interpretation of relations between regional tectonic and volcanic processes.
Most stops will be along roads, but there will be moderate hikes on trails of less than 1-hour duration covering 1–2 km with modest elevation gain of <150 m. The trip will depart from Santa Fe, NM (by 8 a.m. on Monday, August 7th and end mid-day on Sunday, August 13th at Denver International Airport in time for same-day flights to Portland, OR.
The cost is $850/person, which includes transportation from Santa Fe, New Mexico to Denver International Airport, shared hotel-style lodging (two people to a room), breakfasts and all lunches and snacks. Participants are responsible for transport to Santa Fe, NM and from Denver, CO. Please see the IAVCEI 2017 website for more details.
