Petrogenesis of lunar mare basalts from the nearside eastern limb of the moon

The University of Manchester Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences

Project overview. The Moon preserves a record of volcanism on a small rocky terrestrial planet. Lunar lavas were mainly erupted between ~4.35 and 3 billion years ago, with some areas of the Moon being volcanically active as recently as 2 billion years ago. Read more

Crystal records of magmatic processes along the Reykjanes Ridge

The University of Manchester Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences

Active volcanoes in regions of robust magmatism are increasingly thought to be fed by geometrically complex magma plumbing systems that extend through much of the crust. Read more

Investigating the formation of lunar agglutinates

The University of Manchester Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences

The Moon is covered with a soil-like layer called a regolith. This boundary layer preserves a record both of the Moon’s crust formation and modification history, and of its evolution driven by impacting asteroids and comets. Read more

Combining petrological experiments, numerical models of volcanic processes and field observations to investigate magma ascent and eruption transitions at basaltic volcanoes

The University of Manchester Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences

Volcanoes are amongst the most powerful and dangerous natural manifestations on Earth, and basaltic volcanism is the most common form of volcanic activity. Read more

Crystal-rich lavas from ocean island volcanoes: the effect of magma flux on magma reservoir processes

The University of Manchester Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences

Active volcanoes are increasingly thought to be underlain by vertically extensive magmatic plumbing systems dominated by crystal-rich mushes. Read more

NERC GW4+ DTP STUDENTSHIP: What Controls Recurrent Growth & Collapse Cycles of Large Oceanic Volcanoes – The Case of Tope De Coroa, Cape Verde

Cardiff University Cardiff School of Earth and Environmental Sciences

PROJECT BACKGROUND . Prominent ocean island volcanoes often experience recurrent cycles of vigorous volcanic growth followed by catastrophic gravitational collapse, at the scale of a few hundreds of thousands of years, making them some of the most hazardous geological entities in our ocean basins.
