The generation of basaltic magmas at mid-ocean ridges, ocean islands and convergent margins is governed by the dynamics of mantle melting. As mantle material rises or is fluxed by volatiles, it ...

The Moon accreted meteoritic material towards the end of Solar System formation. Quantification of this late accretion requires an estimation of the abundance of highly siderophile, or iron-loving, ...

Studies of mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORBs) show a variable Fe isotope composition of the oceanic upper mantle, beyond explanation by processes of mantle melting from a uniform source and magma ...

Olivine is the earliest mineral to crystallize from basaltic magma, and accurate knowledge of olivine/melt partition coefficients (D Ol-melt) for first-transition row elements (FTREs) Ga and Ge, is ...

Individuals or groups who want to volunteer at Basalt Vista can sign up at http://www.habitatroaringfork.org or by contacting Denise Latousek at denisel ...

Last week, the company completed the highly calibrated process of starting-up the plant’s furnace. This week, Mafic’s team began melting basalt rock and pulling the first fiber at the plant. This ...

Large magma eruptions have produced great floods of basalt lava on the continents during Earth’s history. Conventionally, the largest flood basalt eruptions are thought to be possible only in regions ...

In early August, voters in Baileyville approved a $2.5 million bond package to fund the startup of Ecomelt, a new company founded by Meddybemps resident P.J. Wooding. The company’s business is rocks ˆ ...

HILO — Hawaii Island has plenty of basalt rock. A new study commissioned by the Pacific International Space Center for Exploration Systems suggests the island could make a name for itself in this ...
