A Geochemical Model for the Petrogenesis of the Curaçao Lava Formation: Implications for the Origin of the Caribbean Plateau

Creator:

Krawl, Kyle A.

Abstract:

The Curaçao Lava Formation (CLF) records the magmatic and tectonic processes that formed the Caribbean Large Igneous Province (CLIP). A model of the petrogenesis of the CLF was developed using new geochemical and geochronological data. These data include major element compositions obtained using X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF), trace element concentrations...

Using An Array of NE Pacific Margin Sediment Samples to Link Land and Ocean Responses to Glacial-Interglacial Climate Variability

Creator:

Wilson, Kiya L.

Abstract:

Variability in the terrigenous (land-derived) fraction of marine sediments, including pollen and rock fragments, reflects the effects of regional climate change on continentally derived runoff, ice extent, vegetation and ocean circulation. The transport of this continental material to the seafloor must be understood in order to interpret the terrigenous sediment...
