Funded Activity Summary

Origin of silicic magmas in a primitive island arc: the first integrated experimental and short-lived isotope study of the Tongan-Kermadec system. The Tongan arc forms a large portion of the Australian plate boundary and is one of the most chemically primitive systems known. Oddly, it produces volumes of more evolved, dangerous silicic magmas. The results of this project will establish the source of these magmas and rates of migration, which are fundamental for understanding volcanic hazards.
