  Newberry National Volcanic Monument Points of Interest - Newberry Caldera
The Newberry Crater area occupies the caldera at the summit on Newberry Volcano, one of this country's largest volcanoes.
Newberry Crater, a caldera, is perched at the top of Newberry Volcano, a large shield-shaped volcano.
Newberry Crater is rimmed with steep, 700- to 1700-foot-high walls except on the west side where Paulina Creek drains Paulina Lake.

Caldera Systems is also the former name of SCO Group, and is also the name of the port of the city of Puntarenas.
A caldera collapse is usually triggered by the emptying of the magma chamber beneath the volcano, often as the result of a large eruption.
Further lava flows may be erupted, and the center of the caldera is often uplifted in the form of a ''resurgent dome'' by subsequent intrusion of magma.

 Newberry, OR Lunar Landform Geologic Fieldtrip
Newberry collapsed and formed a caldera, now occupied by two beautiful lakes surounded by campgrounds, as a result of emptying it's underground magma reservoir during it's last big eruption, thus allowing the solidified lava above it to collpse into the now empty magma chamber of it's own weight.
Features like Newberry once was before it's collapse into a caldera can be found in some of the more famous dome areas of the Moon, such as the Hortensius area pictured in the montage above.

The caldera of Newberry Volcano in central Oregon has been the site of several silicic and mafic eruptions during the past 10,000 yr.
We report evidence that the floor of the caldera near its center has been rising for part or all of the past two millennia.
Implications of these findings are important to current and future studies of volcanic and hydrologic hazards, archaeology, geothermal resources, knowledge of caldera unrest, and the geologic history of the caldera.

 Abstract: Newberry upwelling and Cascadian subduction: Convective interactions in the mantle beneath Oregon
The Newberry track projects back to a possible origin at the McDermitt Caldera which was last active around 16 Ma.
We have deployed a seismic array across Oregon extending from the McDermitt Caldera to the northwest along the Newberry track, past the Newberry Caldera, over the High Cascades and on to the coast within ~100 km of the trench.
The array allows us to constrain the subsurface structure associated with the Newberry track and caldera, and the subducted Juan de Fuca slab using the large number of teleseismic earthquake sources within a few degrees of the array azimuth.

 Newberry CraterA Ten-Thousand-Year Record of Human Occupation and Environmental Change in the Basin-Plateau Borderlands
Because Newberry has been a sight of human activity throughout the Holocene, and the region is well within the zone of airfall deposits from the eruption of nearby Mt. Mazama (ca 7,500 BP), the caldera provides a cultural record that spans the epoch within a context of unambiguous and well-dated volcanic sediments
Clear evidence for regular use of the caldera can be seen from about four thousand years ago and appears to have been focused on quarrying obsidian laid down after the Mazama eruption.
It thus appears that principal users of the Newberry caldera resided in the upper Deschutes River basin and were tied into exchange networks extending throughout the Columbia Plateau as well as the northern Great Basin.

The summit of Newberry has collapsed to form a large 3 x 4.5 mile (5 x 7 km) caldera known as Newberry Crater, which holds two lakes, Paulina and East Lakes, that contain a number of hot springs revealing that magma lies close below the surface.
