  1. 1. Magmatic processes and storage beneath Heard Island, southern Indian Ocean

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Liu Chun Wei; [2023]
    Keywords : Heard Island; Clinopyroxene; Thermobarometry; Magma storage depth;

    Abstract : A young marine island called Heard Island is located in the southern Kerguelen Plateau in the Indian Ocean, a large igneous province created by the Kerguelen mantle plume. The two major geographic regions on Heard Island have two principal volcano-magmatic suites. READ MORE

  3. 2. Lejarfjället Garnet(?) Peridotite – Origin and Petrological Characterization of Symplectitic Aggregates in Ultramafic Rocks

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Mineralogi, petrologi och tektonik

    Author : Felicia Eriksson; [2022]
    Keywords : ultramafic; high-pressure metamorphism; peridotite; garnet breakdown; Scandinavian Caledonides; ultramafisk; högtrycks metamorfos; peridotit; granat; skandinaviska kaledoniderna;

    Abstract : Ultramafic rocks are abundant in the Earth’s mantle but rare on the surface. Since no in-situ samples from the mantle can be collected, mantle rocks provide knowledge of mechanisms operating in the mantle and large-scale processes that brought them up to the surface. READ MORE

  4. 3. Characterization of mineral parageneses and metamorphic textures in eclogite- to high-pressure granulite-facies marble at Allmenningen, Roan, western Norway

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Stylianos Karastergios; [2020]
    Keywords : Western Gneiss Region; Vestranden; Roan; Caledonides; marble; calc-silicate; metabasic; petrography; SEM-EDS; mineral chemistry; mineral equilibrium; P–T estimate; devolatilization; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The Roan peninsula in western Norway, Vestranden, is known for exposing one of the deepest parts of the Scandinavian Caledonian orogen, similar to the Western Gneiss Region. Throughout the Roan area, eclogites and high-pressure granulite- and amphibolite-facies gneisses occur, associated with supracrustal rocks including marbles, calc-silicate rocks and amphibolites.

  5. 4. Studying magmatic systems through chemical analyses on clinopyroxene - a look into the history of the Teno ankaramites, Tenerife

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Vendela Haag; [2020]
    Keywords : clinopyroxene; sector zoning; concentric zoning; mass wasting; magma recharge; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Clinopyroxenes have the ability to crystallize over and respond to a large range of temperatures, pressures and chemical compositions, and thus, they are ideal for studies regarding the history of magmatic systems. In this thesis, the chemistry and zoning of four clinopyroxene crystals from an ankaramite sample from the Teno massif, Tenerife, were analysed. READ MORE

  6. 5. Petrography, alteration and structure of the Bronäs Zn-Pb-Ag deposits, Bergslagen, Sweden

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Tom Turner; [2020]
    Keywords : Bronäs; Sala;

    Abstract : This report aims to characterize the alteration styles and mineralization of the Zn-Pb-Ag Bronäs deposit, in the Sala area of the Bergslagen mining district, Sweden.  It presents data collected through 237m of lithological logging and subsequent lithogeochemical data, which, coupled with thin section and SEM analysis has led to the first geological descriptions of the rocks in the deposit.
