Dykes play a major role in transporting magma through the crust to subsurface storage
reservoirs or eruption sites at the surface. The geometry, connectivity, and internal textures …

The close relationship between crustal magmatism, an expression of heat dissipation, and
tectonics, an expression of stress dissipation, leads to the question of their mutual …

Abstract The Sierra Nevada batholith is an∼ 600-km-long, NNW-trending composite arc
assemblage consisting of a myriad of plutons exhibiting a distinct transverse zonation in …

Ophiolites, fragments of oceanic lithosphere exposed on land, are typically found as isolated
klippen in intensely deformed fold-thrust belts spanning hundreds to thousands of kilometers …

Early Mesozoic arc magmatism of the southern Sierra Nevada region records the onset of
plate convergence–driven magmatism resulting from subduction initiation near the end of …

Lithologic and magnetic-susceptibility mapping of the western Half Dome Granodiorite of the
Tuolumne Intrusive Suite of California reveals seven km-scale lithologic cycles, each of …

New geologic mapping, tectonic geomorphologic, 10Be terrestrial cosmogenic nuclide, and
(U‐Th)/He zircon and apatite thermochronometric data provide the first numerical constraints …

Abstract The northern Cascade Mountains in Washington (USA) preserve an exceptional
shallow to mid-crustal record of Eocene transtension marked by dextral strike-slip faulting …

Dike swarms are the fossil remains of regions of the crust that have undergone repeated
magma injections. Volcanic earthquake swarms and geodetic measurements are, at least in …

ABSTRACT The Sierra Nevada batholith of California represents the intrusive footprint of
composite Mesozoic Cordilleran arcs built through pre-Mesozoic strata exposed in isolated …
