Theme Sessions 

1. From Contraction to Extension: The Mesozoic to 

Cenozoic Tectonic Evolution of the Northern Great Basin 

(2 oral and 1 poster sessions). Joseph P . Colgan, USGS, 

jcolgan@usgs .gov, Chris Henry, University of Nevada, Reno 

chenry@unr .edu; Victoria E . Langenheim, zulanger@usgs .gov, 

Allen J . McGrew, Allen .McGrew@notes .udayton .edu, 

David M . Miller, dmiller@usgs .gov . 

This session focuses on the integrated Mesozoic-Cenozoic 

tectonic history of the Great Basin, especially the interplay 

of continental contraction, extension, and magmatism . The 

region is noted for its hinterland core complexes, magmatic 

history, thrust belts, extensional tectonics, and basins . New 

geologic mapping, structural analyses, geo- and thermochronology, 

and thermobarometry and petrology have introduced 

new ideas and controversies . 

2 . Interactions of Climate, Tectonics, and Sedimentation 

in Cenozoic Basins of the Basin and Range (oral session). 

Thomas Hickson, University of St . Thomas, St . Paul, 

MN tahickson@stthomas .edu, Melissa Lamb, University 

of St . Thomas, St . Paul, MN malamb@stthomas .edu, 

Paul Umhoefer, Northern Arizona University, Geology, 

Paul .Umhoefer@nau .edu . 

Sedimentary basins provide perhaps the single best opportunity 

to develop an understanding of how extensional 

landscapes evolved over long timescales under conditions 

of changing climate and complex tectonic deformation patterns, 

yet—when compared to compressional settings—little 

work has been completed that addresses these interactions . 

New lithostratigraphic, chemostratigraphic, and stable isotopic 

data, combined with high-resolution geochronology 

from extensional basins of the Basin and Range have begun 

to address this disparity . This session focuses on sedimentary 

basin research in extensional settings in the Basin and Range 

that address new hypotheses, techniques, or interpretations of 

landscape evolution throughout the Cenozoic . 

3 . Deep Crustal Perspectives on Cordilleran Orogenesis 

(oral session). Chris G . Mattinson, Department of Geological 

Sciences, Central Washington University, mattinson@ 

geology .cwu .edu; Thomas D . Hoisch, Department of Geology, 

Northern Arizona University, Thomas .Hoisch@nau .edu . 

Exhumed rocks of the Cordilleran orogen record deep 

crustal processes associated with terrane accretion, crustal 

shortening, and extension during the growth of the North 

American continent . New dating of mineral growth and 

cooling histories are changing our understanding of the timing 

and distribution of orogenic belts, and of the tectonic 

processes that created them . This session focuses on the use 

of rock record to constrain aspects of orogenesis such as: 

(1) timing of thrusting and/or exhumation, (2) metamorphic 

pressure-temperature paths during crustal shortening and 

extension, and (3) relationships between deep and shallow 

crustal processes . 

4 . Neoproterozoic-Early Paleozoic Tectonic and Climatic 

Evolution of the Cordilleran Margin (oral session). Carol 

Dehler, Utah State University, carol .dehler@usu .edu, Paul 

Link, Idaho State University, Adolph Yonkee, Weber State 

University . 

Many questions remain about the timing and nature of 

the rift-drift transition and related climate change of western 

Laurentia during Neoproterozoic time . This session focuses 

on all pertinent data sets with an emphasis on geochronology 

and stratigraphy . 

5 . Assembling North America: Precambrian Basement 

Tectonic and Geochemical Evolution of Laurentia (oral 

and poster sessions). David A . Foster, University of Florida, 

dafoster@ufl .edu, Darrell J . Henry, David W . Mogk, Paul A . 

Mueller . 

This session focuses on recent studies of the Archean and 

Proterozoic provinces and basins of southern Laurentia, and 

novel ways of studying ancient rocks . Our understanding of 

the assembly and evolution of the North American basement 

over the past decade has benefited from new mapping efforts 

integrated with a vast amount of new structural, petrologic, 

geochemical and geochronological data, and geophysical 

studies including those of EarthScope . 

6 . Geology and Hydraulic Properties of Reservoirseal 

Systems with Implications for CO2 Sequestration 

and Hydrogeology (oral session). Alvar Braathen, UNIS, 

Norway and Utah State University, alvarb@unis .no; Jim 

Evans, Utah State University, Jim .evans@usu .edu; Elizabeth 

Petrie, Utah State University . 

Recent studies in a wide range of settings have revealed 

a rich record of fluid flow and sealing related to CO2 and 

other fluids . 

7 . Petrologic and Geodynamic Perspectives on Non-Arc 

Volcanism in the Western United States (oral session). 

John Shervais, Utah State University, john .shervais@usu .edu; 

Tony Lowry, Utah State University, tony .lowry@usu .edu . 

Volcanic activity that cannot be directly related to a current 

or former subduction system is common in the western United 

States . Such activity includes the Yellowstone-Snake River hotspot 

system, the High Lava plains of eastern Oregon, and volcanic 

activity within the Great Basin, to name a few examples . This 

session seeks to examine the petrologic and geodynamic roots of 

these volcanic systems, integrating new data from geochemistry, 

geophysics, and field geology in order to better understand their 

development . The impact of new Earthscope generated data will 

be especially important, and contributions that combine data 

from multiple disciplines are encouraged . 

8 . Geochemistry of Igneous Rocks: From Small Scales to 

Big Pictures (oral and poster sessions). Adam Kent, Oregon 

State University Adam .kent@science .oregonstate .edu . 

Fine scale geochemical measurements made by electron and 

ion microprobes, LA-ICP-MS, FTIR and other techniques provide 

important information about igneous rocks . A continuing 

challenge is to relate these small-scale measurements to larger 

length scales relevant to field studies of magmatic systems . We 

seek contributions from workers interested in applying smallscale 

measurements of minerals, glasses and inclusions to broader 

questions confronting igneous petrology, including studies of 

magmatic fluxes and crustal evolution, and development of large 

igneous provinces and batholith-scale intrusive complexes . 

Workers who incorporate small-scale chemical information into 

regional scale multidisciplinary studies of magmatic systems are 

particularly encouraged to participate . 


9 . The Mammalian Fossil Record of Utah (oral session). 

Beth Townsend, Midwestern University, btowns@ 

midwestern .edu; Paul Murphey, South Dakota Natural 

History Museum, pmurphey@sdnhm .org; Anthony Friscia, 

University of California, Los Angeles tonyf@ucla .edu . 

From diminutive Mesozoic multituberculates to the awe 

inspiring thunderbeasts of the Eocene, rock units in Utah continue 

to yield critically important fossils that provide scholars with 

the opportunity to shed light on crucial periods of mammalian 

evolution and ancient environments . This session highlights current 

research on mammalian paleontology in Utah that includes, 

but is not restricted to, aspects of paleobiology, biostratigraphy 

and biochronology, systematics, taphonomy, and paleoecology . 

10 . Lake Bonneville and Beyond: Glacial-pluvial 

Records of the Great Basin (oral session). Paul W . Jewell, 

Department of Geology and Geophysics, University of Utah, 

paul .jewell@utah .edu; Benjamin J .C . Laabs, Department of 

Geological Sciences, SUNY Geneseo, laabs@geneseo .edu; 

Jeffrey S . Munroe, Geology Department, Middlebury College, 

VT, jmunroe@middlebury .edu; Jack Oviatt, Department of 

Geology, Kansas State University, Manhattan, KS 66506,

for over a century, especially focusing on Lake Bonneville and 

other pluvial and glacial paleoclimate archives . This session covers 

ongoing research on the geomorphology, stratigraphy, geochronology, 

and paleoclimatology of this unique physiographic 

province . 

11 . Geomorphic Evolution of Western U.S. Landscapes: 

Processes and Controls (oral session). Lisa Ely, Dept . 

of Geological Sciences, Central Washington University, 

Ellensburg, WA ely@cwu .edu, P . Kyle House, U .S . Geological 

Survey, Flagstaff, AZ, pkhouse@gmail .com, Joel Pederson,

geomorphic processes can be obtained by studying landforms 

and Quaternary deposits . Research presentations from a range 

of geomorphic settings are invited and may include applications 

of OSL, CRN and 14 C dating . 

14 . Water Resources of the Densely Populated Alluvial 

Valleys of the Western States – Processes (oral session). 

Erick R . Burns, USGS Oregon Water Science Center: 

eburns@usgs .gov; Victor M . Heilweil, USGS Utah Water 

Science Center: heilweil@usgs .gov . 


Most of the largest population centers of the western 

U .S .A . rely on water pumped from large alluvial valleys . 

These aquifers receive and store large amounts of water, but 

they are under increasing pressure as population increases . 

This session discusses physical processes and constraints that 

control recharge, transmission, and delivery of these waters . 

15 . Water Resources of the Densely Populated Alluvial 

Valleys of the Western States – Water Budgets and Water 

Management (oral session). Sue C . Kahle, USGS Washington 

Water Science Center: sckahle@usgs .gov; Erick R . Burns, 

USGS Oregon Water Science Center: eburns@usgs .gov . 

Most of the largest population centers of the western 

U .S .A . rely on water pumped from large alluvial valleys . 

These aquifers receive and store large amounts of water, but 

they are under increasing pressure as population increases . 

This session focuses on water availability and implications 

of likely future stresses to the aquifer system and the services 

provided . 

17 . New Geologic Maps for a Changing World—Research, 

Methods, Products, and Interpretations (poster session). 

Grant Willis, Utah Geological Survey grantwillis@utah .gov; 

Bob Biek, Utah Geologcial Survey bobbiek@utah .gov . 

Increasing focus on geologic hazards, growing need for 

traditional and nontraditional geologic resources, multidimensional 

land use plans, resource protections efforts, 

and growing geospatial electronic databases are fueling the 

demand for ever more detailed, accurate, and innovative 

printed and digital geologic maps . New imagery, improved 

digital topographic databases, and a rapidly increasing arsenal 

of research tools are helping mapping geologists meet those 

demands . This session focuses on the new geologic maps, 

research done in support of geologic mapping, and innovative 

mapping tools, methods, and products .

Field Trips 

Pre-Meeting 

1 . Tectonomagmatic Evolution of Distinct Arc Terranes 

within Blue Mountains Province, Oregon and Idaho. 15–17 

May; US$395 per person . C . J . Northrup, Mark Schmitz, and 

Gene Kurz, Boise State University . 

The Blue Mountains Province was constructed in 

Mesozoic time by the amalgamation and accretion of two 

volcanic arcs (Olds Ferry and Wallowa terranes) along with 

associated accretionary prism sediments . This trip examines 

key field relationships and discuss recent results of highprecision 

U-Pb geochronology and tracer isotope geochemistry 

that help to illuminate and distinguish the tectonic 

history of these two arc terranes . We will compare/contrast 

their volcano-plutonic records and reconstruct their tectonic 

and paleogeographic evolution from upper Paleozoic through 

early Cretaceous time . The trip examines the interplay 

between intra-arc magmatic and deformational processes and 

tectonic controls on the temporal patterns of plutonic and 

volcanic magmatism in both arc systems . 

NOTE: the field trip begins and ends in Boise, ID, 

not Logan, UT, where the rest of the meeting will occur . 

Participants planning to attend both the trip and the meeting 

will need to schedule a three-leg itinerary, including 

travel from Boise to Logan, UT, on May 17th . We will return 

to Boise no later than 1 p .m . on May 17th, so participants 

can catch late afternoon or evening flights . Driving distance 

from Boise to Logan is approximately 300 miles (driving time 

~4 .5 hours) . 

2 . Karst Hydrogeology of the Bear River Range in the 

Logan Canyon Area, Northern Utah. 17 May; US$60 per 

person . Larry Spangler, USGS Salt Lake City . 

This trip provides an overview of the hydrogeology of an 

alpine karst in the Logan Canyon area, east of Logan, Utah . 

We are focusing on the major springs discharging along the 

Logan River, the principal base-level stream in the northern 

part of the Bear River Range . Topics of discussion include 

groundwater flow paths and travel times, influence of the 

Logan Peak Syncline on groundwater movement, karst and 

cave development, and water chemistry . Snow permitting, we 

will visit Tony Grove Lake, situated in the recharge area for 

much of the water discharging from the karst springs . 

3 . Cryogenian (“Sturtian”) Diamictite, Cap Carbonate, 

and Volcanic Rocks of Southeastern Idaho. 17 May; US$60 

per person . Josh Keeley, Carol Dehler, Paul Link, Adolph 

Yonkee, Katie Kirkham . 

This one day field trip explores metabasalt, diamictite, 

cap carbonate, and other facies of the Neoproterozoic 

Pocatello Formation between Logan, UT and Pocatello, ID . 

All stops show sampling sites of new geochronologic data, 

which has implications for regional and global correlations, 

and the timing of rifting and glaciation along the western 

Laurentian margin . Driving time is about 3 hours round trip . 

Hiking includes one ~800 foot steep climb and an optional 

second similar climb . 

Post-Meeting 

4 . Neogene Drainage Development of the Portneuf, 

Big Lost, and Snake River Systems, eastern Idaho. 20–21 

May; US$155 per person . Paul K . Link, David W . Rodgers, 

Glenn T . Thackray, Idaho State University; Mary K .V . 

Hodges, USGS . 

This trip examines the Big Lost River from its headwaters 

north of the Pioneer core complex above Sun Valley 

downstream across the central Idaho thrust belt and Eocene 

Challis volcanic field . Our themes will be drainage capture 

and topographic change documented by detrital zircon data 

on Recent and Neogene fluvial deposits . The first stops are 

high in the Pioneer Mountains at the head of glaciated Trail 

Creek Canyon, which were part of the Big Lost River system 

until the Pleistocene . After visiting the site of drainage diversion, 

we will view the Lost River normal fault with a view of 

1983 earthquake features . We will then examine Miocene 

rhyolites as old as 12 Ma that display spectacular primary 

features at Howe Point above the Big Lost River Sinks on 

the southern end of the Lemhi Range . The last stop is on 

the lower Big Lost River on the Idaho National Laboratory 

where interactions of drainage changes, basalt flows and climate 

changes controlled the Neogene history of the Big Lost 

River and the subsurface architecture of the Big Lost Trough, 

a silled volcanosedimentary basin . 

5 . New Investigations of Pleistocene Glacial and Pluvial 

Records in Northeastern Nevada. 21–23 May; US$330 per 

person . Jeffrey S . Munroe, Middlebury Colleg; Benjamin J .C . 

Laabs, SUNY Geneseo . 

We are visiting classic glacial and pluvial localities in 

northeastern Nevada to examine records of the last glacialinterglacial 

transition, starting at the recently dated type 

locality for the Angel Lake Glaciation in the East Humboldt 

Range . The second day are stops at recently dated shoreline 

features of pluvial Lakes Clover and Franklin, including a 

visit to the Ruby Lake National Wildlife Refuge . The final 

day includes the type locality for the Lamoille Glaciation in 

the Ruby Mountains, a well-preserved set of Lamoille and 

Angel Lake-age end moraines, evidence of neotectonic activity, 

and a drive through spectacular Lamoille Canyon . 

6 . Timing, Distribution, Amount, Style, and Causes of 

Cenozoic Extension, Northern Great Basin. 20–23 May; 

US$325 per person .Christopher D . Henry, Nevada Bureau 

of Mines and Geology; Joseph P . Colgan, USGS; Allen J . 

McGrew, University of Dayton . 

The trip examines the evidence for the timing of extension 

and uplift, emphasizing three different aspects of the 

regional geology: (1) the deeply exhumed metamorphic rocks 

and structures of the East Humboldt Range and the evidence 

for their P-T-t paths; (2) Eocene and Miocene volcanic and 

sedimentary rocks that were deposited at the surface during 

interpreted cooling and uplift of the Ruby Mountains–East 


Humboldt Range; (3) Eocene and/or Miocene sedimentary 

deposits that record the unroofing of the core complex . Fault 

and tilt relationships between the rocks will be examined at 

several locations, especially in a series of ash-flow tuff- and 

sediment-filled paleovalleys that cross the extended region . 

7. New Insights into the Outlet of Lake Bonneville, 

Faults, and Deltas of the Bear River. 21 May; US$60 per 

person . Susanne Janecke, Utah State University; Bob Oaks 

Utah State University . 

Southeast Idaho contains three outlets of pluvial Lake 

Bonneville, and nested deltas built there by the Bear River . 

We’ll review new evidence about the Bonneville highstand, 

the Bonneville Flood, and its aftermath . Rupture along 

the Riverdale fault zone possibly triggered the Bonneville 

flood or induced a surface-breaking earthquake immediately 

after the flood . Quaternary drainage divides shifted 20 km 

south . Sills at these sites constrained the north-overflowing 

Bonneville River and, thereby, two Provo shorelines . Deltas 

of the Bear River at the Bonneville, Provo, and post-Provo 

levels change from river-dominated to wave-dominated and 

then back . Deep basinwide erosion of Bonneville deposits, 

but negligible erosion of Provo deposits, indicate changing 

Pleistocene climate . 

8 . Paleontology and Stratigraphy of Middle Eocene 

Rock units in the Bridger and Uinta Basins, Wyoming 

and Utah. 21–22 May; US$195 per person . Beth Townsend, 

Midwestern University; Paul Murphey, South Dakota Natural 

History Museum; Anthony Friscia, University of California, 

Los Angeles . 

This field trip offers a comprehensive tour of the middle 

Eocene Bridgerian, Uintan and Duchesnean North American 

Land Mammal “Age” stratotype sequences . The volcaniclastic 

Bridger Fm . was deposited on floodplains and in shallow lakes 

in sub-tropical environments . The slightly younger Uinta 

Fm . was deposited in a different depositional environments: 

deltaic floodplains and high energy fluvial systems, preserving 

very different fossils . In both basins, we are discussing the 

geologic history, paleontology, and history of paleontological 

work in these two classic fossil collecting areas worked during 

the 19 th Century by paleontologists O .C . Marsh, E .D . Cope, 

W .D . Matthew, O .A . Peterson, and others .

Giant Earthquakes of the Pacific Northwest 

Dr. Tim Melbourne, Professor, Department of Geological Sciences and Director of the 

Pacific Northwest Geodetic Array (PANGA), Central Washington University 

The death toll for the recent earthquake in Japan, the best-prepared nation on earth, will 

soon surpass the combined American deaths in 9/11 and the Iraq and Afghanistan wars . It’s a 

sobering exercise to contemplate how the Pacific Northwest might have fared had the magnitude 

9 .0 earthquake struck along the Cascadia fault beneath Washington and Oregon instead 

of Japan . The Northwest’s vulnerability to seismic destruction matches Japan’s, but its readiness 

does not . The Japan quake has shown that in its current state of preparations, the Northwest 

risks unimaginable loss of life and destruction of military, transportation, communication and 

economic infrastructure . 

The Cascadia fault has for several decades been considered a sleeping giant, but new instrumentation 

and new discoveries have shown it to be nearly continuously active over week-toweek 

timescales . This activity is now being put to use to map out future fault slip that, in turn, 

enables communities to better prepare for the inevitable . GPS technology in particular has 

become a powerful tool in the arsenal of seismic hazards mitigation, both in the forecasting of 

future earthquake location and sizes as well as in the rapid characterization of earthquakes once 

they begin . 

This talk will cover our current understanding of the mechanics and risk posed by the 

Cascadia subduction fault . It will also discuss how new technologies are unveiling new phenomena 

occurring within the fault itself and refining our ability to characterize what it holds in store 

for Northwest communities . 

After the ~45 minute public lecture, Dr . Melbourne will take questions from the audience .
