News Release: Introduction. Inverted topography is a classic type of landform in the American southwest with its young monogenetic volcanic fields and rapid arid-land erosion. Many volcanic deposits, whether they are lava flows or ash-flow-tuffs, flow down river valleys and topographic lows and even fill them. Because...

News Release: Introduction. Calderas are collapse features that form during large-volume volcanic eruptions when the underlying magma chamber is partially emptied and the ground above it subsides into it. Calderas may form in both silicic (dacitic to rhyolitic) and mafic (basaltic to andesitic) volcanic systems, leading...

News Release: Introduction. Ash-flow tuffs (ignimbrites) erupted during caldera-forming eruptions or parts of caldera walls are present in several national park areas. These rocks are testaments to some of the largest volcanic eruptions in the history of North America. The eruptions of these calderas probably ranged...

News Release: Introduction. Fissure volcanoes are produced by eruptions that occur along elongated fissures versus at a central vent. Fissure eruptions occur when magma-filled dikes intersect the surface. Fissure eruptions usually do not build substantial edifices, but instead feed lava flows that can travel great...
