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,...

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...
