Geologic map of Mount Chiginagak volcano, Alaska: Whole-rock geochemistry and 40Ar/39Ar geochronology data

Metadata Updated: July 5, 2023

Mount Chiginagak is a hydrothermally active volcano on the Alaska Peninsula, approximately 170 km south-southwest of King Salmon, Alaska. This small stratovolcano, approximately 8 km in diameter, has erupted through Tertiary to Permian sedimentary and igneous rocks. The eruptive products of Chiginagak volcano record a history of chiefly andesite lava flows and associated block-and-ash flows. The oldest lavas exposed are Pleistocene in age and are found everywhere around the edifice except in the northeast sector, where Holocene lava flows dominate the landscape. Holocene activity has covered the northeast flank with rubbly-topped andesite lava flows that extend as far as 4.6 km from their source vent at the summit crater. The farthest-reaching volcanic deposits are on the southeast flank, where block-and-ash-flow, pyroclastic-flow, and lahar deposits extend down valley as far as 9 km from the summit. Limited exposure of deposits of a presumed plinian eruption of middle Pleistocene age indicate at least one episode of explosive activity in Chiginagak's past. This data distribution package provides major-oxide XRF analyses of whole-rock samples and sediments rich in hydrothermally altered material from Chiginagak volcano and 40Ar/39Ar plateau ages (preferred age) for Chiginagak lavas. All files can be downloaded from the DGGS website (http://doi.org/10.14509/29769).
