In order to increase our understanding of magma mixing processes and their impact on the geochemical evolution of silicate melt we present in the following works, the first set of experiments performed using natural basaltic and rhyolitic melts. In particular, we investigate the interplay of physical dynamics and chemical exchanges between these two ...

The origin of Proterozoic massif-type anorthosites: Evidence from interactions between crustal xenoliths and basaltic magma [PDF]
Plagioclase-rich reaction zones occur around numerous aluminous crustal xenoliths within a suite of Palaeogene sub-volcanic basic sheets on the Isle of Mull, NW Scotland.

Magma mixing induced by particle settling. [PDF]
A time series of experiments at high temperature have been performed to investigate the influence of particle settling on magma mixing. A natural rhyolite glass was held above a natural basalt glass in a platinum crucible. After melting of the glasses at superliquidus temperatures, a platinum sphere was placed on the upper surface of the rhyolitic melt

The Osmium Isotope Signature of Phanerozoic Large Igneous Provinces
Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Collaboration: Poetry, Counselling and Psychology [PDF]
This article gives advice about how writers can collaborate with counsellors and psychologists. 8 counsellors and psychologists were paired with 8 poets at a special event at the University of Central Lancashire in May 2019. The poets wrote new poems for

The trigger mechanism of low-frequency earthquakes on Montserrat. [PDF]
A careful analysis of low-frequency seismic events on Soufrie`ere Hills volcano, Montserrat, points to a source mechanism that is non-destructive, repetitive, and has a stationary source location.

Experiments on magma mixing [PDF]
The arrival of a new hot batch of magma changes the thermal and the chemical state of a volcanic plumbing system. Formation of hybrid magma by chemical dilution (liquid miscibility model) of different magma batches is generally accepted. Observations of drop‐like domains of less evolved (newer) magma in more evolved (host) magma point to the ...

The incrementally zoned Miocene Ayagaures ignimbrite (Gran Canaria, Canary Islands) [PDF]
The 20–25 m thick trachyphonolitic Ayagaures ignimbrite cooling unit [(AY); 11.8 Ma] exposed over 250 km2 (onshore volume ca. 4.5 km3 DRE) is the uppermost and most voluminous cooling unit of the Middle Fataga Formation (MFF), part of the Fataga Group ...
