Like straight out of Julio Verne's Journey to the Center of the Earth, scientists from Northwestern University and the ...

The source for the isotopically-enriched Hawaiian magmas contains peridotites that experienced near-surface melting prior ...

The mantle transition zone (MTZ), which occurs 410–670 kilometers below Earth's surface, may store several oceans' worth of water. This water, which is carried to such depths by subducting tectonic ...

I use a wide range of geophysical techniques to study deformation in rocks and ice, melt generation and extraction, and volcanic processes. Deformation and mass transport depend critically on the ...

A major problem with current magma ocean formation models is the lack of consensus on the melting temperatures of deep mantle ...

Alisha's work was featured in the 2016 Advanced Photon Source HIghlights Book on pages 172-173. The article, written by Mary Alexandra Agner, reads: Enhancing Our Understanding of Mantle Melt Fraction ...

The serpentinite-dominated mélange was initially formed at the slab-mantle interface, which is primarily composed of forearc serpentinite along with minor sediments and possibly other slab ...
