  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. Origin of Silicic Magmatism at the Katla Volcano, South Iceland

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Caroline Svanholm; [2021]
    Keywords : Katla volcano; Iceland; high-silica rocks; oxygen isotopes; AFC processes; Vulkanen Katla; Island; kiselrika bergarter; syreisotoper; AFC-processer;

    Abstract : Katla volcano, South Iceland, is a bimodal volcanic system hosting an unusual high number of silicic rocks within a basaltic rift setting. The petrogenesis of silica-rich rocks at Katla is controversial and two end-member hypotheses have been suggested. READ MORE

  4. 3. Implications of Magma and Bedrock Interaction, a Study of Xenopumice from La Palma, the Canary Islands

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Beatrice Jägerup; [2019]
    Keywords : La Palma; xenopumice; phreatomagmatism; whole rock geochemistry; oxygen isotopes; La Palma; felsiska xenoliter; explosiv vulkanism; geokemi; syreisotoper;

    Abstract : This thesis focuses on frothy, felsic xenoliths called ‘xenopumice’, that were retrieved from La Palma during a 10–day field campaign in December 2018. There are only few descriptions of these frothty xenoliths, and a consensus on their origin has not yet been achieved. READ MORE

  5. 4. Magmatic Sources and Processes Recorded by the Volcanics from the Izu Bonin Rear Arc

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : John Owen Edgar; [2017]
    Keywords : Izu-Bonin; plagioclase; magma; strontium; thermobarometry; rear arc; Izu-Bonin; plagioklas; magma; strontium; termobarometri; bakbåge;

    Abstract : The Izu rear-arc volcanism was investigated by IODP EXP350 in spring 2014. A total stratigraphy of1800 m was drilled, and contains volcaniclastic material within tuffaceous mudstone. READ MORE

  6. 5. Behaviour of Boron Isotopes During Magmatic Degassing and Application to B-Rich Volcanic Glassfrom Lesbos, Greece

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Konstantinos Thomaidis; [2017]
    Keywords : boron isotopes; volcanic glass; SIMS; magmatic degassing; Lesbos Island; borisotoper; vulkaniskt glas; SIMS; magmatisk avgasning; Lesbos;

    Abstract : Boron is a fluid mobile trace element and is routinely employed as a tracer of slab-derived fluids in subduction zones since the heavy isotope (11B) preferentially partitions into the fluid phase during slab dehydration. However, it has been shown experimentally that boron isotopes (expressed as δ11B) can fractionate by up to several permil (‰) during subsequent magmatic evolution and degassing at high temperature, calling into doubt the fidelity of boron isotopes in volcanic glass as accurate tracers of slab degassing.
