This webpage, developed by a student as part of a "Tectonics of the Western U.S." course at the University of Colorado, is a useful summary of past and current ideas about the origin of the Sierra Nevada batholith in California. The page contains informative text, color graphics, supplementary explanations of relevant isotope systems, a list of references, and a page of related links.
