  2. 1. Understanding Crustal Volatiles : Provenance,  Processes and Implications

    Author : Lara S. Blythe; Valentin Troll; Ralf Gertisser; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; crustal volatiles; helium; carbon; volcanic gases and fluids; xeno-pumice; magma-carbonate interaction; upper crustal contamination;

    Abstract : Knowledge of the provenance of crustal volatiles and the processes by which they are released is extremely important for the dynamics of magmatic systems. Presented here are the results of multiple investigations, which aim to understand magmatic volatile contamination from contrasting but complementary perspectives. READ MORE

  4. 2. Volcanism at the tip of a propagating rift : the Heimaey volcanic centre, south Iceland

    Author : Hannes B. Mattsson; Armann Höskuldsson; Alasdair Skelton; Sigurdur Steinthorsson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Geology; Volcanology; Petrology; Heimaey; Vestmannaeyjar; Propagating rift; Phreatomagmatic; Diatreme; Tumuli; Earth sciences; Geovetenskap;

    Abstract : Primary magmas are generated by 4-6% partial melting near the garnet-spinel stability fields beneath Heimaey (i.e. 80-65 km depth). The magmas fractionate 31% olivine and clinopyroxene en-route to ponding at the base of the crust (and forming a parental Vestmannaeyjar magma). READ MORE
