A trace element study of plagioclase and clinopyroxene phenocrysts in historical lavas from Mt. Etna, Sicily, by laser ablation ICP-MS

Creator:

Russo, Christopher J.

Abstract:

Understanding magmatic processes occurring at depth in magmatic systems is fundamental for a more complete understanding of the variations sampled in lavas erupted from these systems on the Earth's surface. This thesis presents the results of detailed trace element analyses of plagioclase and clinopyroxene phenocrysts measured by laser ablation-inductively coupled...

Mantle melting and heterogeneity along mid-ocean ridges : insight from basalt geochemistry along axial depth and morphologic gradients for intermediate spreading rate systems

Creator:

Russo, Christopher J.

Abstract:

This investigation focuses on gaining a better understanding of the complex relationship between melt generation, source variability and mid-ocean ridge morphology. The approach adopted here uses a variety of geochemical techniques to evaluate the ability of 'global' models to predict regional scale geochemical variability associated with axial depth and axial...
