The Influence of Regional Stress and Structural Control Over the Shape of Maar Craters
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2018)This study aims to gain a better understanding of the factors leading to the expressed shape of individual maars in volcanic fields. Maars are volcanic features produced by phreatomagmatic eruptions which excavate a ... -
Intense Shallow Magma Sediment Mingling within Dikes at Guffey Butte Maar, Idaho
(2022)The interactions between magma and shallow unconsolidated sediments on the way to the surface influences the eruption behavior and products. Phreatomagmatic eruptions are a result of the interaction of magma and water ... -
Mineral ecology and network analysis of chromium, platinum, gold and palladium
(2020)Data collected on the location of mineral species and related minerals from the field have many great uses from mineral exploration to mineral analysis. Such data is useful for further exploration and discovery of other ... -
Quantitative Characterization of Billowed Structures Along the Margins of Basaltic Intrusions to Determine Process and Timing of Formation: Case Studies from Big Bend National Park, Texas and 71 Gulch, Idaho
(2021)By constraining the conditions in which billowed structures form, the conditions of explosive vs. non-explosive magma-water interaction can be further revealed, improving our understanding of how magma propagates and ... -
Reconstructing the 71 Gulch eruption: Implications for the Evolution of Phreatomagmatic Eruptions and their Products
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2019)71 Gulch is a basaltic fissure structure located in the western Snake River Plain, southwestern, Idaho that erupted roughly 4 Ma. The entire volcanic field stretches 2 km west to-east and produced 9 phreatomagmatic vents ... -
The record of magma storage conditions in mineral compositions below a glacial to ice-free Askja volcano, Iceland
(2020)Askja is a caldera volcano located in central Iceland that was glaciated approximately 70,000 to 10,500 years ago. Askja’s basaltic lavas have been classified into one preglacial, six glacial, one Early Holocene and thirteen ...
