Transcrystalline melt migration and Earth's mantle.
Plate tectonics and volcanism involve the formation, migration, and interaction of magma and gas. Experiments show that melt inclusions subjected to a thermal gradient migrate through olivine crystals, under the kinetic control of crystal-melt interface mechanisms. Exsolved gas bubbles remain fixed and eventually separate from the melt. Scaled to thermal gradients in Earth's mantle and geologic...
متن کاملWhat have the Earths' Mantle & an Egyptian Mummy in Common?
This paper will start with an overview of the Manchester Visualization Centre (MVC), what we do, why we do it and who we do it to. The main elements of the paper will be to present four examples of our work: Visualization of Egyptian Mummy 1766, one of the Egyptian mummies belonging to the University Museum. We will explain what we did with the CT scan of this mummy, the special techniques that...
متن کاملTrapped Melt in the Josephine Peridotite: Implications for Permeability and Melt Extraction in the Upper Mantle
Tabular dunites in the Josephine peridotite of southwestern Oregon represent conduits for melt extraction from the upper mantle. The amount of melt trapped within these channels during cooling and exhumation of the peridotite massif was calculated using a mass-balance approach. These calculations suggest that no more than 0·1^0·2 vol. % melt could have been trapped within these dunites after cr...
متن کاملSteady-state Mantle–Melt Interactions in One Dimension: I. Equilibrium Transport and Melt Focusing
Mantle–melt interaction during melt transport is explored in one generally moves relative to the residual solid phases. This follows from experimental and theoretical studies of the dimension and steady state. We reconsider the equivalence between one-dimensional steady equilibrium transport and batch melting. In equilibrium textures of olivine-dominated, partially molten systems, which indicat...
متن کاملReactive Melt Transport in the Mantle and Geochemical Signatures of Mantle-derived Magmas
predicted effects, but more complete sample suites yielding detailed Modeling of equilibrium reactive melt transport in the mantle, temporal–compositional variations of clearly cogenetic lavas are including the effects of mineralogic reactions and changes in porosity needed to test the petrogenetic significance of reactive melt transport in the solid matrix, provides a series of robust predicti...
