文摘

Ice exerts a first-order control over the distribution and preservation of eruptive products on glaciated volcanoes. Defining the temporal and spatial distributions of ice-marginal lava flows provides valuable constraints on past glacial extents and is crucial for understanding the eruptive histories of such settings. Ice-marginal lava flows are well displayed on Ruapehu, a glaciated andesite-dacite composite cone in the southern Taupo Volcanic Zone, New Zealand. Flow morphology, fracture characteristics and 40Ar/39Ar geochronological data indicate that lavas erupted between ~51 and 15?ka interacted with large valley glaciers on Ruapehu. Ice-marginal lava flows exhibit grossly overthickened margins adjacent to glaciated valleys, are intercalated with glacial deposits, display fine-scale fracture networks indicative of chilling against ice, and are commonly ridge-capping due to their exclusion from valleys by glaciers. New and existing 40Ar/39Ar eruption ages for ice-marginal lava flows indicate that glaciers descending to 1300?m above sea level were present on Ruapehu between ~51-1 and ~27-5?ka. Younger lava flows located within valleys are characterised by blocky flow morphologies and fracture networks indicative of only localised and minor interaction with ice and/or snow, mainly in their upper reaches at elevations of ~2600-400?m. An 40Ar/39Ar eruption age of 9?±-?ka (2σ error) determined for a valley-filling flow on the northern flank of Ruapehu indicates that glaciers had retreated to near-historical extents by the time of emplacement for this lava flow. The applicability of 40Ar/39Ar dating to ice-marginal flows on glaciated andesite-dacite composite volcanoes makes this technique an additional proxy for paleoclimate reconstructions.
