Composition and Pressure Effects on Partitioning of Ferrous Iron in Iron-Rich Lower Mantle Heterogeneities

Philippe Gillet, Marco Cantoni, James Badro, Susannah McGregor Dorfman, Farhang Nabiei, Charles-Edouard Boukaré

Both seismic observations of dense low shear velocity regions and models of magma ocean crystallization and mantle dynamics support enrichment of iron in Earth’s lowermost mantle. Physical properties of iron-rich lower mantle heterogeneities in the modern ...

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 ...

Plagioclase Glomerocrysts: taking the pulse of volcanic eruptions

Anders Meibom, Stéphane Laurent Escrig, Anders McCarthy

Volcanic eruptions result from complex interplay of magmatic processes including the ascent and storage of magma in the crust, volatile exsolution and crystallization. The dynamics of crystallization in shallow subvolcanic systems and the consequences of i ...

Beryllium melting and erosion on the upper dump plates in JET during three ITER-like wall campaigns

Olivier Sauter, Ambrogio Fasoli, Basil Duval, Stefano Coda, Yves Martin, Jonathan Graves, Duccio Testa, Patrick Blanchard, Pierre-Thomas Paul Brun, Alessandro Pau

Data on erosion and melting of beryllium upper limiter tiles, so-called dump plates (DP), are presented for all three campaigns in the JET tokamak with the ITER-like wall. High-resolution images of the upper wall of JET show clear signs of flash melting on ...

The Effect of Alkali on the Properties of Limestone Calcined Clay Cement (LC3)

Karen Scrivener, Wilasinee Hanpongpun

The impact of alkali content on the properties of Limestone Calcined Clay Cement (LC3) was investigated in this study. KOH was added in order to increase the alkali content of the blended cements from 0.44% Na2Oeq to 1.21% Na2Oeq. The increase of alkali ac ...

Effect of laser rescanning on the grain microstructure of a selective laser melted Al-Mg-Zr alloy

Christian Leinenbach

The microstructures of alloys created via Additive Manufacturing (AM) can vary substantially from those present in cast or wrought products, due to the very rapid solidification associated with AM. While numerous studies have investigated the process-micro ...

The importance of mantle wedge heterogeneity to subduction zone magmatism and the origin of EM1

Stéphane Laurent Escrig

The composition of the convecting asthenospheric mantle that feeds the mantle wedge can be investigated via rear-arc lavas that have minimal slab influence. This "ambient mantle wedge" composition (the composition of the wedge prior to the addition of a sl ...

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 ...

Parental arc magma compositions dominantly controlled by mantle-wedge thermal structure

Stéphane Laurent Escrig

The processes that lead to the fourfold variation in arc-averaged compositions of mafic arc iavas remain controversial. Control by the mantle-wedge thermal structure is supported by chemical correlations with the thickness of the underlying arc crust(1-3), ...

Unique large diamonds in a ureilite from Almahata Sitta 2008 TC3 asteroid

Philippe Gillet

The Almahata Sitta MS-170 ureilite (a piece of a breccia originating from the asteroid, 2008 TC3) consists mainly of olivine, with many diamond and graphite grains existing between the olivine grains. The occurrences of the diamonds are unique; i.e., (i) s ...
