A petrogenetic model for the Caribbean large igneous province

Creator:

Krawl, Kyle A.

Abstract:

The Caribbean Plateau is an oceanic large igneous province (CLIP). A widely accepted model for LIP petrogenesis proposes that these large bodies of igneous rock are formed by decompression melting associated with upwelling mantle plume heads during the initiation of hotspot activity. According to this classical model, petrogenesis occurs over...

Rhyolitic magmatism of the High Lava Plains and adjacent Northwest Basin and Range, Oregon : implications for the evolution of continental crust

Creator:

Ford, Mark T.

Abstract:

Understanding continental crust formation and modification is a fundamental and longstanding geologic problem. Influx of mantle-derived basaltic magma and partial melting of the crust are two ways to drive crustal differentiation. This process results in a low density upper crust and denser, more refractory lower crust, creating significant and vastly...
