Stardust Mine: A 2024 gabbroic shergottite from Arizona, USA

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract This study provides an initial characterization of Stardust Mine, a fresh gabbroic enriched shergottite collected in Arizona, USA, in September 2024 and is the first Martian meteorite to be unequivocably collected on US soil. Analysis was conducted on the type specimen and finds that Stardust Mine is composed of equal proportions of pyroxene ...

Insights Into Magma Chamber Processes From the Relationship Between Fabric and Grain Shape in Troctolitic Cumulates

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2020
The strength of foliations defined by shape preferred orientation of plagioclase in troctolitic cumulates from the Layered Series of the Skaergaard intrusion, and the Rum Eastern Layered Intrusion, increases as the grains become more tabular, due either ...

Small‐scale adaptation to geothermal soil heating in a perennial herb revealed by combining crosses and transplantations

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Path diagrams showing the results of piecewise structural equation models examining how fitness (total number of seeds in flowering individuals) of Cerastium fontanum depended on temperature at planting site, temperature difference, mating type, and flowering time (FFD, first flowering date) in each of the two study years.

Magma Chamber Model of Batur Caldera, Bali, Indonesia: Compositional Variation of Two Facies, Large-Volume Dacitic Ignimbrites

open access: yesIndonesian Journal on Geoscience, 2015
DOI:10.17014/ijog.2.2.111-124Batur is one of the finest known calderas on Earth, and is the source of at least two major ignimbrite eruptions with a combined volume of some 84 km3 and 19 km3.

Chromitite layers indicate the existence of large, long-lived, and entirely molten magma chambers

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
The classical paradigm of the ‘big magma tank’ chambers in which the melt differentiates, is replenished, and occasionally feeds the overlying volcanos has recently been challenged on various grounds.

Fault‐Controlled Permeability: A Key Parameter in Geothermal Electricity Production Assessment

open access: yesTerra Nova, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Geothermal energy is central to the global green energy transition, but its development has long focused on regions with positive thermal anomalies. Through a semi‐quantitative global‐scale review and spatial analysis of 361 geothermal sites, we show that 56.2% of global geothermal electricity production occurs in regions with thermal ...

Petrology and geochemistry of gabbroic and ultrabasic rocks from eastern Rhum [PDF]

open access: yes, 1986
This work is concerned with the lower part of the Eastern Layered Series (LELS) of Rhum, and with the marginal relationships of the ultrabasic complex in eastern Rhum.

Plagioclase as recorder of magma chamber processes in the Deccan Traps: Sr-isotope zoning and implications for Deccan eruptive event

open access: yes, 2014
Deccan Trap flood basalt volcanism reached its peak 65.5(±1)millionyears ago, giving rise to a 2.7km thick lava pile that formed the Western Ghats range near Mumbai.

Dynamics of Magma Chamber Replenishment Under Buoyancy and Pressure Forces

open access: yes, 2023
Active magma chambers are periodically replenished upon a combination of buoyancy and pressure forces driving upward motion of initially deep magma. Such periodic replenishments concur to determine the chemical evolution of shallow magmas, they are often

Evaluation of Caldera Hosted Geothermal Potential during Volcanism and Magmatism in Subduction System, NE Japan

open access: yesGeofluids, 2019
Deep-seated geothermal reservoirs beneath calderas have high potential as sources of renewable energy. In this study, we used an analysis of melt inclusions to estimate the amount of water input to the upper crust and quantify the properties of a deep ...
