An Experimental and Analytical Investigation of the Parameters that Influence Measured CO₂ in Plagioclase-Hosted Melt Inclusions in MORBs

Creator:

Drignon, Melissa J.

Abstract:

To understand the processes that lead to the formation of the oceanic crust, one must know the composition and the depth at which primary melts originate. Towards this end, this dissertation focuses on plagioclase-hosted melt inclusions from plagioclase ultraphyric basalts (PUBs). Plagioclase is usually considered to be the second phase,...

Magmatic processes beneath mid-ocean ridges : insights from mineral and glass chemistry in plagioclase ultraphyric basalts

Creator:

Lange, Amy E.

Abstract:

Prior to eruption at mid-ocean ridges, melts must travel through >6 km of crust from their origin in the mantle. The final composition of the melts is dependent on both the melting conditions and magmatic processes within the crust. While mid-ocean ridge basalt (MORB) glasses are commonly used to infer...

Olivine and plagioclase-hosted melt inclusions and their application to determining parental arc magmas

Creator:

Kohut, Edward John

Abstract:

Three broadly interrelated problems of critical significance to the proper interpretation of melt inclusion (MI) data are addressed in this thesis. The first issue, the petrogenesis of anorthitic plagioclase phenocrysts in MORB lavas, has relevance due to the presence of numerous MI in many high-An feldspars. This problem was addressed...

Dissertation
Magmatic processes at mid-ocean ridges : evidence from lavas and melt inclusions from the Southeast Indian Ridge, the Endeavour Segment of the Juan de Fuca Ridge, and the northern East Pacific Rise

Creator:

Sours-Page, Rachel E.

Abstract:

Magmatic processes control the chemical compositions of all lavas erupted at mid-ocean ridges. In this thesis, I present studies of magmatic processes on three different mid-ocean ridges to determine which processes are in action and to what extent each has affected the chemistry of mid-ocean ridge basalts at each location....

Dissertation
Snow Peak, OR: late Miocene to early Pliocene volcanism in the central Cascadia forearc

Creator:

Hatfield, Ashley K.

Abstract:

Snow Peak is a voluminous shield volcano located ~50 km west of the axis of the modern Cascade arc. A previously published K-Ar age estimate indicates that the Snow Peak lavas are ~3 Ma. Subsequently, the preliminary research framework for studying the Snow Peak lavas focused on constraining the petrogenesis...

Masters Thesis
The role of subduction fluids in generating compositionally diverse basalts in the Cascadia subduction zone

Creator:

Rowe, Michael C.

Abstract:

The primary goal of this study is to assess the impact of a subduction component added to the mantle wedge beneath the Oregon Cascades to the composition and fO2 of primitive Cascade basalts. Olivine-hosted melt inclusions from compositionally diverse basalts across the Cascade arc (~100 km) are utilized in an...
