Abstract:
|
The Long Valley Volcanic Field in east-central California straddles the East Sierran frontal fault zone, overlapping the Sierra Nevada and western Basin and Range Provinces. Long Valley volcanism began about 4 Ma during Pliocene time and has continued intermittently through the Holocene. The current (post-1980) seismic unrest at Long Valley, accompanied by uplift of the resurgent dome, may signal the onset of a new episode of regional extension and basalt injection into the residual magma chamber.
