The Hidden Internal Flow Dynamics of Shear‐Thinning Magma in Dikes
Abstract The viscosity of magma has a first‐order control on the explosivity and hazards of a volcanic eruption, and the detection of diking within the subsurface may indicate an eruption is imminent. As magma approaches the surface it is highly likely it will have a non‐Newtonian shear‐thinning rheology (apparent viscosity decreases as shear rate ...

Understorey succession after burial by tephra from Mount St. Helens
Successional change following disturbance is a fundamental ecological process that remains central to understanding patterns in plant ecology. Although succession has been studied for well over a century, understanding of the patterns and processes of ...

Abstract Valdivia Bank (VB) is an oceanic plateau in the South Atlantic that formed from hotspot‐ridge volcanism during the Late Cretaceous at the Mid‐Atlantic Ridge (MAR). It is part of Walvis Ridge (WR), a quasi‐linear seamount chain extending from offshore Namibia to Tristan da Cunha and Gough Islands.

Abstract Records of geomagnetic field variations from continental Africa are sparse yet provide a key dating tool for low‐latitude paleoclimatic changes. Long‐lived tectonic and crater lakes in eastern tropical Africa potentially provide important, long (>100,000 years, kyrs) and continuous sedimentary records of African monsoonal climate over past ...

Abstract The neodymium isotope signatures (εNd) of the authigenic fraction have been extensively used to reconstruct past seawater εNd and hydrological circulation. Among the various methods, sequential extraction of hydrogenic ferromanganese oxyhydroxides from bulk sediments represents a rapid and straightforward approach that may potentially induce ...

Abstract The Mars Science Laboratory rover, Curiosity, has been examining strata from a period of Martian history where extensive clay mineral formation transitioned to sulfate mineral formation. This mineralogic change corresponds to a change from a wetter to a more arid climate.

Exploring the origins of magnetization within the Chicxulub crater upper peak ring
Abstract Large terrestrial impacts may produce vast subsurface hydrothermal systems, capable of generating conditions favorable to the origin of life. Modeling suggests that these systems may persist for >1 million years for basin‐sized craters; however, direct experimental constraints on hydrothermal system duration are needed.

Morphology and microtextures of tephra particles
The purpose of this PhD thesis is to give insights into the dynamics of highly explosive eruptions and on both tephra dispersal and sedimentation, based on the characterization of the erupted material. A systematic and detailed morphological characterization of tephra particles from different eruptions and the calculation of their terminal fall ...

We studied the tephra inventory of 18 deep‐sea drill sites from six DSDP/ODP legs (Legs 84, 138, 170, 202, 205, and 206) and two IODP legs (Legs 334 and 344) offshore the southern Central American Volcanic Arc (CAVA). Eight drill sites are located on the
