Abstract
This region of Yellowstone National Park has been the active focus ofone of the Earth's largest magmatic systems for more than 2 millionyears. The resulting volcanism has been characterized by the eruptionof voluminous rhyolites and subordinate basalts but virtually no lavasof intermediate composition. The magmatic system at depth remainsactive and drives the massive hydrothermal circulation for which thepark is widely known. Studies of the volcanic field using geologicmapping and petrology have defined three major cycles of rhyoliticvolcanism, each climaxed by the eruption of a rhyolitic ash-flow sheethaving a volume of hundreds of thousands of cubic kilometers. Thefield also has been analyzed in terms of its magmatic and tectonicevolution, including its regional relation to the Snake River plainand to basin-range tectonic extension.
