	Forearc Basin Evolution Along Accretionary Convergent Margins, Wrangell Mountains, Alaska
		he Wrangell Mountains basin is a Mesozoic forearc basin that developed during a period of accretionary tectonics in the northwestern Cordillera.
		The Wrangell Mountains are an excellent place to study forearc basin development because the thick section of Mesozoic strata has been uplifted and is well exposed, structural and metamorphic deformation has been minimal, and a chronostratigraphic framework exists for most of the basin deposits.
		Does the composition of sandstones and conglomerates in the Wrangell Mountains basin record growth and erosion of volcanic arcs, uplift of subduction complexes, and accretion of allochthonous terranes?

	GORP - Wrangell - St. Elias National Park, Alaska - Geology
		The Wrangell Mountains, which form much of Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve, are made up largely of thousands of lava flows that have been erupted mostly from large broad volcanoes during the past 26 million years.
		This extensive volcanic terrain, which is called the Wrangell volcanic field, covers about 4,000 square miles — an area a little smaller than the State of Connecticut — and extends eastward from the Copper River Basin through the Wrangell Mountains, into the St. Elias Mountains of Alaska and the Yukon Territory of Canada.
		Essentially, the mountain ranges of interior Alaska are the result of the collision and accretion of smaller, moving tectonic plates with the North American continent.
