1. Analysis of stable isotopes (CO2) in gas around the resurgent dome of Long Valley Caldera, CA; research by Gregor Lucic This part of the study will involve an examination of CO2 gas emissions on and around the resurgent dome at Long Valley Caldera, CA. This will involve the measurement of soil gas fluxes, and the gathering of gas samples for isotopic analysis. The goal of this research is to combine data gathered in Long Valley with that gathered at other degassing volcanic sites, in order to enhance understanding of CO2 gas emissions and the evolution of stable isotopes in active magmatic systems. 2. Geochemical and petrological investigation of the Mono Lake Lavas, CA; research by Brandon Bray This part of the study will involve the gathering of rock samples throughout the Mono-Inyo domes and the Mono Lake islands for geochemical and petrological analysis. The focus of this study is to determine how these lavas are related to the bulk of the Long Valley system. A greater understanding of the Mono-Inyo and Mono Lake lavas - the most recent products of the Long Valley system - will help in the assessment of possible future eruptive activity in the region.
