Gravity and magnetic maps of western Washington reveal the lateral structure and fabric of the Washington Coast Range, Puget Basin, and southern Washington Cascade Range. The magnetic and gravity maps show large amplitude positive anomalies associated with the shallow but largely buried section of Washington Coast Range mafic rocks which are separated by negative anomalies over deep...

The tectonic setting of the southern Washington Cascades has been studied with the aid of magnetotelluric (MT) and other geophysical data. The main feature of interest in the geophysical data is a broad high-conductivity anomaly mapped with MT and geomagnetic variation (GMV) data. This anomaly is located roughly within the triangle formed by the volcanoes Mount Rainier, Mount St. Helens...

On the basis of gravity data, aided by aeromagnetic, magnetotelluric, side-looking radar, and geologic information, we tentatively identify a large, shallow intrusive complex beneath Mount St. Helens. The complex is roughly 5–6 km thick and has apparently intruded a buried and compressed Mesozoic forearc sedimentary sequence. The lateral extent of the intrusive complex is uncertain, and...

Aeromagnetic data from surveys flown by the U.S. Geological Survey over Mount St. Helens, Washington, before and after the climactic May 18, 1980, eruption were used to determine the bulk magnetic properties of the volcano and to delineate a buried source. We assumed that most of the edifice of preeruption and posteruption Mount St. Helens has a magnetization direction near the present...

A gravity and aeromagnetic study was conducted in and adjacent to the Goat Rocks Wilderness area, Washington. This work was done in conjunction with geologic and geochemical studies which were critically important to our interpretation. The Bouguer gravity anomaly map displays a large central positive gravity anomaly and three superimposed smaller positive anomalies. The main anomaly...
