Mantle dynamics beneath the Pacific Northwest and the generation of voluminous back-arc volcanism

Mantle dynamics beneath the Pacific Northwest and the generation of voluminous back-arc volcanism

The Pacific Northwest (PNW) has a complex tectonic history and over the past ~17 Ma has played host to several major episodes of intraplate volcanism. These events include the Steens/Columbia River flood basalts (CRB) and the striking spatiotemporal trends of the Yellowstone/Snake River Plain (Y/SRP...
