Summary:

"Chapters examine Columbia River Basalt Group stratigraphy, update the nomenclature, revise basalt ages, and update the volume of basalt and areal extent of flows; discuss current ideas on the petrogenesis for the Columbia River Basalt Group; and address the tectonic and structural development of the Columbia River Flood Basalt province"--Provided by publisher.
