V23C:
4D Variations in Cascade Arc Magmatic Systems: Linking Tectonics, Geochemistry, and Geodynamics I


Session ID#: 9089

Session Description:
This session draws together researchers in tectonics, geophysics, geochronology, geochemistry, and dynamic modeling to improve our spatial and temporal understanding of the Cascades magmatic arc. Since its enigmatic inception about 40 Ma, the arc has undergone significant changes in magmatic productivity and composition. In addition, the Cascades are volcanically and tectonically segmented into regions that differ in volcanic style, flux, and composition, as well as in faulting style, degree of crustal rotation, and relative uplift. These spatio-temporal variations may reflect differences in subduction rate or angle, the nature of the lower and upper plate, and regional tectonics. Can we determine which of these relationships are causative, and can we derive a geodynamic model for the variability of volcanism and plutonism through space and time? We seek contributions from researchers with geochemical or geophysical data sets, conceptual or numerical models, and other approaches that illuminate and help address these fundamental questions.
