| Temporal and compositional relationship among lava flows of the Craters of the Moon National Monument Idaho | |
![]() |
The Craters
of the Moon National Monument (COM) is located in the Eastern Snake River
Plain, Idaho. COM is scattered with cinder cones, eruptive fissures, spatter
cones, and shield volcanoes that are associated with the rift and accountable
for many of its 45+ flows. The goal of this study is to establish compositional
and temporal relationships of the lava flows at COM using hyperspectral
imaging and reflectance spectroscopy in order to decipher the geological
history of COM.
