Funded Activity Summary

An experimental exploration of silicate melt therrmodynamics. The chemical properties of magmas are the key to understanding igneous activity in the Earth, and hence the tectonic significance of magmatism, and the mineral resources resulting from past magmatism. The chemistry of magmas is also a determining factor in assessing the hazards associated with volcanic eruptions, including natural inputs into the atmosphere against which anthropogenic inputs causing climate change must be assessed. This research program will measure experimentally the way different magma compositions affect the solubilites of important volatile and trace-element components in magmas, providing the much-needed fundamental data to model magmatic activity.
