Project

Constraining the Petrological Processes and Plumbing System of Terceira, Azores

The project will focus on quantifying the plumbing system architecture of several magmatic centres from the Afar triple junction, investigating the evolution of continental rift segments that document various stages of the rifting-drifting transition, and constraining mantle source and melting conditions beneath active volcanoes. The crustal architecture of magmatic plumbing systems from Afar will be constrained by determining the depth of the magma storage regions, the temperature of the magmas and redox conditions in the melt.
