The Generation Of A Diverse Suite Of Late Pleistocene And Holocene Basaltic-Andesite Through Dacite Lavas From The Northern Cascade Arc At Mount Baker, Washington, Troy D. Baggerman
The Generation Of A Diverse Suite Of Late Pleistocene And Holocene Basaltic-Andesite Through Dacite Lavas From The Northern Cascade Arc At Mount Baker, Washington, Troy D. Baggerman
WWU Graduate School Collection
This study highlights geochemical diversity in a spectrum of basaltic andesite through dacite lavas from Mount Baker, WA, and describes processes that are responsible for their generation. Petrographic observations, mineral chemistry, along with whole rock major oxide concentrations, and trace and REE data are provided for three Late Pleistocene and Holocene lava flows: the basaltic andesite of Sulphur Creek (SC) (52.5-55.8 wt.% Si02, Mg# 57-54), the andesite of Glacier Creek (GC) (58.3-58.7 wt.% Si02, Mg # 63-64), and the andesite and dacite of Boulder Glacier (BG) (60.2-64.2 wt.% Si02, Mg # 50-57). Major oxide concentrations for SC and BG display …
