1. The Crystal Size Distribution of Cerro Bayo
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Mineralogi, petrologi och tektonikAbstract : To understand the complex structure of magmatic plumbing systems beneath volcanoes, one needs to study the different textures shown in the igneous rocks produced by the volcano in question. By doing this, one can get a clue of the processes that resulted in the final rock. READ MORE

2. Formation of Sulphides in the Canadian High Arctic Large Igneous Province; Testing the Influence of Sedimentary Rocks
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) form during short-lived pulses of extensive magmatic activity. LIPs are known for their ability to affect global climate as well as for their Ni-Cu-PGE ore potential. READ MORE

3. Magma Evolution of the Cerro Bayo Laccolith in the Chachahuén Volcanic Complex, Argentina
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : The Chachahuén volcanic complex, with the Cerro Bayo laccolith as one of the largest intrusions, is part of back-arc Payenia volcanic province in western central Argentina. Laccoliths show potential for generating oil in sedimentary basins and producing ore deposits. READ MORE

4. The Formation of Granite Magma Chambers in the Mourne Mountains, Northern Ireland
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : The Mourne Mountains situated in County Down, Northern Ireland, mainly consists of solidified granite magma chambers that intruded ~ 56 million years ago into the surrounding greywacke. How granite magma chambers are emplaced in the crust has for years been a debate amongst scientist of volcanology, and is referred to as the ‘space problem’ debate. READ MORE

5. 3D Modelling of the Tejeda Cone-Sheet Swarm, Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, Spain
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : 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
