The Yellowstone Plateau Volcanic field consists of lavas from the last two million years. The most recent volcanic units are the Central Plateau Member and the older Upper Basin Member rhyolites (Christiansen, 2001). Investigations into the elemental and isotopic composition of these lavas can provide insight into the recent volcanic history of the different eruptive episodes and provide constraints on the hydrothermal fluid compositions that result from water-rock interactions occurring at depth within the hydrothermal system. In this Data Release, seventeen samples of Yellowstone rhyolite samples from Upper Basin and Central Plateau Member lava flows were analyzed for strontium isotopic composition. Analyzed samples include recently collected samples along with samples from the rock collection of Robert L. Christiansen (Robinson et al., 2021). This data was collected to constrain models of fluid-rock interaction of Yellowstone’s hydrothermal system.

Investigations into the elemental and isotopic composition of these lavas can provide insight into the recent volcanic history of the different eruptive episodes and provide constraints on the hydrothermal fluid compositions that result from water-rock interactions occurring at depth within the hydrothermal system. In this Data Release, twenty-one samples of Yellowstone rhyolite samples from Upper Basin and Central Plateau Member lava flows were analyzed for major and trace element concentrations and strontium isotopic compositions. Analyzed samples include recently collected samples along with samples from the rock collection of Robert L. Christiansen (Robinson and others, 2021).

The data are the results of mass spectrometer experiments to measure 40Ar/39Ar ages of sanidine crystals hosted in Yellowstone rhyolites. The data were collected using a MAP216 noble gas mass spectrometer and a Nu Noblesse noble gas mass spectrometer at the USGS facility in Menlo Park, Calif.

Strontium isotope ratios of historical Kīlauea summit and rift lavas were analyzed by thermal ionization mass spectrometry (TIMS) at the Southwest Isotope Research Laboratories of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in Denver. There were 151 analyses of 49 samples obtained from the field, the collections of the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO), and the Smithsonian Institution. Data for associated reference materials are described in the process steps . The Sr isotope ratios may be used to test models for the volcano’s magmatic plumbing system.
