Abstract:
Mathematical modeling and analysis of aeromagnetic anomaly data
(gridded data provide in another report).
Purpose:
The geologic record of Plio-Pleistocene volcanism near Yucca
Mountain (Crowe and others, 1995) implies that basaltic volcanism
could recur within the next million years and perhaps pose a hazard
to a potential nuclear waste repository at Yucca Mountain. As part
of the Yucca Mountain site characterization program, a probabilistic
volcano hazards analysis (PVHA) was carried out (Geomatrix
Consultants, 1996). Available information on the locations and ages
of Plio-Pleistocene volcanic centers was considered by the PVHA
experts and used to characterize the locations, rates, and
uncertainties associated with future volcanic activity. The analysis
used USGS aeromagnetic survey data (Langenheim and others, 1993) in
considering buried volcanic centers.
