Effect of plagioclase crystallization on liquid and magma viscosity in the Anorthite-diopside-dorsterite-quartz system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
SiO2 (CMAS) glasses were synthesized as analogs for dacitic and basaltic lavas. Liquid viscosities were measured between 101 and 1013 Pa s, over the temperature range of approximately 1600 to 700⁰C, using concentric cylinder ...
Rheological and morphological evolution of basaltic lava flows
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Over 500 million people live in proximity of an active volcano globally. Although lava flows rarely endanger human life, they often destroy critical infrastructure. Advancing our understanding of lava flow dynamics is ...
On the ability of rocks to conduct heat in the Lithosphere
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
is best reproduced using the geometric mixing model, but some samples with clear anisotropy mix according to the series or parallel models. However, many high-temperature measurements are clouded by previously unidentified experimental errors, which...
Spatial, temporal, and petrogenetic relationships of basaltic and lamprophyric dikes and sills of the Raton Basin, southern Colorado and northern New Mexico
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Alkali basalts and lamprophyres commonly occur as sheet intrusions along the flanks of continental rifts. The Raton Basin, on the eastern shoulder of ...
The viscosity of dacitic liquids measured at conditions relevant to explosive arc volcanism: determing the influence of temperature, silicate composition, and dissolved volatile content
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Viscosity can control various magmatic processes and varies by orders of magnitude as a function of temperature, composition and dissolved volatiles. There is no predictive model for the viscosity of dacitic liquids, which ...
