Clarification of the element migration, volatile pathways, and thermal evolution of this
crust-constructional event in the immature island arc are the goals of the DOE-funde
research now underway, employing both field and geochemical methods.
One postdoctoral fellow (Brad Hacker) and two Ph.D. candidates (Dave Miller and
Steve Forest) are partially or fully supported by the DOE Grant (no salary support is
utilized for the P.I.). We have nearly finished a regional reconnaissance map showing the
distribution of the OIB lavas throughout the California part of the Klamath Mountains.
Investigation of the regional and contact metamorphism/metasomatism of the Sawyers Bar
area is in progress. A manuscript demonstrating the presence of at least two ages of
diabase dike/sill emplacement is nearly ready for submission to a journal. And, a
1:24,000-scale, colored map of the Sawyers Bar area is approaching completion.
No papers have yet been published, but as can be seen from our final report on the
earlier DOE Grant, (letter to Bill Luth of 3/28/91) abundant productivity is on the way!
