Abstract
This volume contains guides related to the GSA Cordilleran Section Meeting in Sacramento, California, and the Rocky Mountain Section Meeting in Provo, Utah, USA. Explore the classic forearc triad of the Franciscan subduction complex, Coast Range ophiolite, and Great Valley forearc basin, eastern California Coast Ranges, as well as the forearc volcanism and mantle peridotites of the Coast Range ophiolite in Stonyford, California. Next, learn about emergent, experimental, and established geothermal resources in Utah's Great Basin. Then visit the Cenozoic Marysvale volcanic field, southwest Utah, to examine mega-scale gravity slides resulting from the southward collapse of the field.
