Title:
Electron probe microanalytical data of minerals and glass from rock samples from Pavlof Volcano, Alaska
Abstract:
Electron probe microanalytical data of minerals and glass from rock samples from Pavlof Volcano, Alaska, Raw Data File 2022-7, presents electron microprobe analytical data from minerals from lava samples collected at Pavlof Volcano by Alaska Volcano Observatory (AVO) geologist Jessica Larsen during fieldwork in 2017 and from tephra samples described in Waythomas and others (2017). Samples include those produced during recent eruptions of Pavlof in 1986, 1996, 2007, 2013, 2014, and 2016. Pavlof Volcano is an undissected stratovolcano located approximately 58 km northeast of Cold Bay, in the southwestern portion of the Alaska Peninsula. Electron probe micro-analysis (EPMA) data are reported from the major mineral phases: orthopyroxene, clinopyroxene, olivine, plagioclase, and magnetite. Sample descriptions, locations, and types are included in the metadata associated with the analytical data table. The data are available from the DGGS website: http://doi.org/10.14509/30854.

Why was the data set created?

Pavlof Volcano is an undissected stratovolcano located approximately 58 km northeast of Cold Bay, in the southwestern portion of the Alaska Peninsula. There have been 45 confirmed eruptions from Pavlof since 1790. This research describes the nature and character of samples from a past eruption to aid in the discussion of spatial and temporal patterns of Alaska volcanism. In addition, the work supports improvements to eruption scenario forecasts and hazard response.

    Sample collection - Lava samples where collected at Pavlof Volcano by Alaska Volcano Observatory (AVO) geologist Jessica Larsen during fieldwork in 2017 and from tephra samples described in Waythomas and others (2017). Samples include those produced during recent eruptions of Pavlof in 1986, 1996, 2007, 2013, 2014, and 2016.
    Date: 2020 (process 2 of 2)
    Electron microprobe analyses - Electron microprobe analyses were collected from polished thin sections that were professionally prepared for AVO. The thin sections were carbon coated using an Edwards System carbon coater in the Advanced Instrumentation Laboratory (AIL) at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks. The electron microprobe analyses were obtained using the AIL JEOL JXA -8530F Electron Probe Microanalyzer, with five wavelength dispersive spectrometers all with large area crystals. Metadata, including count times, spectrometers, percent error on each atom, and working standard data from each mineral phase or glass analytical session is reported in the accompanying digital data distribution files. Briefly, analytical conditions were set to 15 keV and 10 or 25 nA, with a focused beam for the mineral phases.

How reliable are the data; what problems remain in the data set?

  1. How well have the observations been checked?
    This data collection provides a compilation of detailed geochemical data. Uncertainties and attribute accuracy vary by analysis. We encourage users to review the report and accompanying method documentation to better understand the methods and limitations of the analytical results. Metadata associated with each electron microprobe session are included with the data distribution files.
  2. How accurate are the geographic locations?
    Location data were collected using handheld recreational grade Garmin GPS units. These devices have a typical reported error of 9 to 21 feet. However, the actual location accuracy of the sample coordinates varies according to the observer's sampling context and recording conventions.
  3. How accurate are the heights or depths?
  4. Where are the gaps in the data? What is missing?
    This data release is complete.
  5. How consistent are the relationships among the observations, including topology?
