In this lecture, Jerome Lesemann discusses the Eocene C period and the oceanic plateaus. He provides an overview of the upcoming sessions, reviews the past session, and presents maps of the mantle plumes and large igneous provinces. He then explains how these features are related to the Wrangellia, Siletzia, and other plateaus. Finally, he considers where this information is leading. View all

Kaleb Scarberry, a student of Nick's, presents a lecture on Montana Magmas. He shares photos, maps, and stories of the Eocene period, as well as a review of the magmatic flare ups in Montana. He also discusses the Boulder Batholith and its significance to the area. View all

The Skagit Gneiss was formed from plutonic material that is estimated to be around 9km in thickness. Stacia Gordon's lecture explores the North Cascade crustal thickness schedule and Eocene papers to gain a better understanding of the age of the material. This lecture provides insight into the formation of the Skagit Gneiss and its geological history. View all

This lecture provides an overview of Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and three hot spots: Yellowstone (YHS), Galapagos (GHS), and Iceland (IHS). Using Google Earth, the lecture demonstrates the locations of these hot spots and provides a link to a website for further information. View all

Rob Thomas and Darrel Cowan present an overview of the Rocky Mountains, discussing the flat slab subduction process and showcasing the work of Stanford geologist Basil Tikoff. They explain the two styles of mountain building, Sevier and Laramide, and how they have shaped the landscape of the Rocky Mountains. View all

This course, Eocene R - Idaho Batholith w/ Dave Rodgers, is a lecture and discussion led by Dave Rodgers. It covers topics such as magmatic flare ups, rollback, Sevier Fold and Thrust Belt, subduction or slab failure, and mining and metal deposits. It also includes a Q&A session and a discussion of Nick's thesis rough draft. The course provides an in-depth look at the Idaho Batholith and its geological history. View all

Jeff Tepper presented a lecture on the Challis Rollback, discussing the Eocene papers, Challis Magmas, and the Idaho and Cascades Arc. He explored the causes of the Challis Magmas and their location, as well as the differences between Challis Magmas and Arc Magmas. The lecture provided an in-depth look at the Challis Rollback.

Nick Zentner's lecture on Exotic Terranes in the North Cascades discussed the 200 to 50 million year time window and the NSF grant to work on the bedrock of the North Cascades and outreach. He discussed the Baja BC and the North Cascades, and the work of Chris Mattinson. He also discussed the implications of the research and the importance of outreach. View all

Karin Sigloch presents a lecture on the Eocene P - Westward Subduction. She reviews the spreading ridges, slab walls, Wrangellia and Insular Superterrane, and Eastward Subduction. She then focuses on Westward Subduction, discussing the schedule and Eocene papers. View all

This course explores the geology of the North Cascades Highway, led by Stacia Gordon and Bob Miller. Participants will visit the Marblemount Area, Gorge Falls Overlook, Diablo Lake Overlook, John Pierce Falls, Ross Lake Overlook, and Washington Pass Overlook, learning about the unique geological features of each location.

Basil Tikoff's lecture on Eocene I explores the clockwise rotation of the Yakima Fold and Thrust Belt in Western Washington. He explains the reverse faults of Siletzia Basalt and the horseshoe shape of the Old and New Cascades. He then presents two models for the Cascades, an old one and a new one, and explains the differences between them. View all

Mike Eddy discussed the Eocene fireworks in the Pacific Northwest, specifically the Swuak Formation. He explained how it is dated, and whether it is one basin or many smaller basins. He also reviewed the past sessions to provide a better understanding of the topic. View all

Bob Miller's lecture on the Eocene E-Cretaceous Fireworks covers topics such as Mid Cretaceous Thrusting in the Southern Coast Belt, Basil Tikoff's email on Rocky Mountain Origins, and Foomp and Fireworks Hit and Run. Miller's lecture provides insight into the geological history of the region and its implications. View all

Erin Donaghy's lecture covers the Eocene L - Strike-Slip Basins, focusing on the Chumstick Basin. She reviews the strike-slip faults and explains how to measure the offset. She also discusses the Straight Creek Fault and why a basin is formed when there is a strike-slip fault. View all

This lecture by Jeff Tepper explores the similarities and differences between three magmatic flare ups in the North Cascade region: Cretaceous Plutons, Eocene Plutons, and the In Between Plutons. Nick's Hammer is used to provide an overview of the Eocene M - Near Trench Magmas. Through this lecture, Tepper provides insight into the geological history of the region. View all

Darrel Cowan's lecture on the Eocene N-Chugach Translation covers the geology of Wrangellia and Siletzia, Leech River Schist, and Nick's website and Eocene papers. He also discusses Baranof Island near the Trench, magmas and spreading ridges, and the Triple Junction. Cowan's lecture provides an in-depth look at the geological history of the region. View all

Robinson Cecil presents a lecture on the Coast Mountains Batholith, a large geological formation in the Eocene period. He explains how the CMB was formed through subduction or slab failure, and how magmatic flare ups, IMS and INS boundaries, and the North Cascades are all part of the CMB. He also discusses the size and scope of the formation. View all

Ray Wells' lecture on the Eocene H - Siletzia & Yellowstone begins with a review of the past session, including the Tillamook Episode and Columbia River Basalt. He then demonstrates the Yellowstone Hot Spot and Crooked River Caldera, before referring to Nick's website for Eocene papers. Finally, he discusses the docking of Siletzia. View all

Erin Donaghy's lecture, part of the Eocene G series, reviews the previous sessions and focuses on the geological differences between Wrangellia and Siletzia. Donaghy explains where Siletzia basalt is found and how it is related to the docking of Siletzia with North America. The lecture also outlines the session schedule and provides a link to Nick's website for further information on the Eocene papers. View all

Spencer Fuston presented a lecture on the Eocene O - Resurrection Plate, discussing the differences between offshore and onshore schedules, magma clusters near trenches, translation slabs and plates, seismic tomography, and the Alaska and Cascadia Slab Map. He also discussed the Yukon-Kuskokwim Plateau and its implications for the region. View all

Matt McClincy and Erin Donaghy lead a lecture on the Eocene K - Chumstick Basin.
