Crystal Records of the Origin, Evolution, and Thermal Histories of Magmas

Creator:

Bradshaw, Richard W., 1985-

Abstract:

In volcanic systems, magma is generally stored in the shallow crust prior to eruption. The conditions of this storage directly impact whether the magma eventually erupts, or crystallizes within the crust to form a pluton. In this dissertation I present four studies that investigate the storage conditions of a number...

The origin of mid-ocean ridge basalts : insights from trace element contents in anorthite, anorthite-hosted melt inclusions, and ocean core complexes

Creator:

Weinsteiger, Allison B.

Abstract:

The primary goal of this study is to access the processes that alter primary melts after segregation from a mantle source and ultimately form petrologic Layers 2 and 3 of the Ocean Crust. Mineral, melt inclusion, and whole rock chemical compositions are utilized to further the understanding of 1) the...
