Transition from Vertical to Lateral Diking at the Neutral Buoyancy Line

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Andreas Möri, Dmitriy Garagash

Buoyant hydraulic fractures (HF) are a viable approach to model propagating magmatic intrusions in the lithosphere. Solutions for fully planar three-dimensional (3D) HF suggest the existence of a family of solutions as a function of fluid and solid propert ...

Taking the pulse of volcanic eruptions using plagioclase glomerocrysts

Anders Meibom, Stéphane Laurent Escrig, Anders McCarthy, Pierre Vonlanthen

Crystallization timescales in subvolcanic systems and the consequences of interaction between ascending magmas and gases remain largely unconstrained, as do links between these processes and monitoring signals at restless volcanoes. We apply diffusion chro ...

Phyllomanganate vein-infillings in faulted and Al-poor regoliths of the New Caledonian ophiolite: periodic and sequential crystallization of Ni-asbolane, Alk-birnessite and H-birnessite

Gabrielle Dublet

Mineralogy, chemistry and spatial distribution of phyllomanganates, found in abundance at the bottom of thick Ni-laterite deposits, were established on dislocated vein-infillings showing banded and fibrous patterns (i.e. colloforms with rows of tiny boxwor ...

Magnesium Partitioning Between Earth's Mantle and Core and its Potential to Drive an Early Exsolution Geodynamo

James Badro

Magnesium partitioning between metal and silicate was experimentally investigated between 34 and 138GPa, 3,500 and 5,450K using laser-heated diamond anvil cells. The 22 measurements are combined with previously published data (total of 49 measurements) to ...

From 2D to 3D Characterization of Materials Subjected to Extreme Pressure and Temperature Conditions

Farhang Nabiei

Planetesimal were the first planetary objects to form in the solar system, which later grew to make the proto-planets. Most of these bodies were differentiated as a result of internal heating. Several differentiated bodies have, then, been accreted followi ...

Multilevel and Local Timestepping Discontinuous Galerkin Methods for Magma Dynamics

Jan Sickmann Hesthaven

Discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method is presented for numerical modeling of melt migration in a chemically reactive and viscously deforming upwelling mantle column. DG methods for both advection and elliptic equations provide a robust and efficient solution ...

Crustal differentiation in the early solar system: Clues from the unique achondrite Northwest Africa 7325 (NWA 7325)

Philippe Gillet

The unique achondrite NWA 7325 is an unusual olivine gabbro composed chiefly of calcic plagioclase (An(85-93)), diopsidic pyroxene (En(50.1-54.0) Wo(44.8-49.3) Fs(0.6-1.3)), and forsteritic olivine (Fo(97)). It is Al and Mg-rich and Fe and Na-poor and disp ...

Introduction of an empirical TBM cutter wear prediction model for pyroclastic and mafic igneous rocks; a case history of Karaj water conveyance tunnel, Iran

Jian Zhao

One of the main cost items in tunneling projects using tunnel boring machines (TBMs) in rock and soil is the cost of changing of damaged or worn cutting tools. Cutter change is a time consuming activity which can have a major impact on the daily advance ra ...

The structure of the asteroid 4 Vesta as revealed by models of planet-scale collisions

Philippe Gillet

Asteroid 4 Vesta seems to be a major intact protoplanet, with a surface composition similar to that of the HED (howardite-eucrite-diogenite) meteorites(1-4). The southern hemisphere is dominated by a giant impact scar(5), but previous impact models(6-8) ha ...

An experimental model approach of biologically-assisted silicate dissolution with olivine and Escherichia coli - Impact on chemical weathering of mafic rocks and atmospheric CO2 drawdown

Philippe Gillet, Bruno Garcia

Chemical weathering of Mg, Ca-silicates and alumino-silicates contributes significantly to the drawdown of atmospheric CO2 over long time scales. The present work focuses on how this mode of weathering may change in the presence of free-living bacteria in ...
