Fault evolution and earthquakes : a finite element study
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)The New Madrid Seismic Zone (NMSZ) in central United States is a good example of intraplate seismicity, which cannot be readily explained by the plate tectonics theory and remains poorly understood. I have developed a 3D ... -
Fluid inclusion and oxygen isotope studies of high-grade quartz-scheelite veins at the Cantung Mine, Northwest Territories, Canada: products of a late-stage magmatic-hydrothermal event
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)High-grade quartz-scheelite veins in the Open Pit orebody, Cantung occur 300 m above a limestone-monzogranite contact where the E-Zone orebody, a world-class tungsten skarn, is developed. Adjacent to these veins, alteration ... -
Igneous intrusions and thermal evolution in the Raton Basin, CO-NM: contact metamorphism and coal-bed methane generation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)Tertiary mafic dikes and sills intrude coal-bearing formations of the Raton Basin. This study investigates the role of intrusions in generating methane from coal. Coal samples at four different outcrops were analyzed by ... -
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 ...
