1. 1. Magma Storage of the Alkaline Tejeda Cone Sheet Swarm, Gran Canaria, Spain

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Max Jensen; [2016]
   Keywords : Gran Canaria; Tejeda cone sheet swarm; syenite; magma storage; thermobarometry; clinopyoxene; Gran Canaria; Tejeda inverterade kon-intrusioner; syenit; magma förvar; termobarometri; klinopyroxen;

   Abstract : Volcanoes with alkaline differentiated magma belong to the more explosive and destructive types, but knowledge about these systems is often limited. Unravelling the position and conditions in the source magma chamber systems that feed volcanism at the surface is vital to understand these systems better. READ MORE

3. 2. 3D Modelling of the Tejeda Cone-Sheet Swarm, Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, Spain

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Lisa K. Samrock; [2015]
   Keywords : Cone-sheet swarm; 3D modelling; Tejeda caldera; Gran Canaria; magma chamber reconstruction; sheet intrusions; Inverterade koniska intrusionssvärmar; 3D-modellering; Tejeda kaldera; Gran Canaria; rekonstruktion av magmakammare; magmatiska intrusioner;

   Abstract : Cone-sheet swarms are magmatic sheet intrusions and part of volcanic plumbing systems and are pathways for magma to the Earth’s surface, where they feed volcanic eruptions. The analysis of cone-sheets provides information on the geometry of the magmatic plumbing system of a volcano and allows to understand processes and dynamics of magma transport. READ MORE
