Magnetic Mapping in the Springerville Volcanic Field, East-Central Arizona

Marissa Mnich

This project aims to have student led mapping products of eruptive basalts in two areas of the Springerville Volcanic Field (SVF), the Blue Ridge Mountain shield volcano, and arguably some of the youngest flows in the southeast region of the field. The SVF is a well-mapped monogenetic volcanic field, with the two aforementioned areas notable missing pieces as they provide a view of a rare polygenetic eruptive vent and some of the flows that are petrogenetically at the end of the fields lifespan.
