Identifying magma recharge using cryptic mineral variations in the Somerset Dam Igneous Complex, Queensland, Australia

(2017) Identifying magma recharge using cryptic mineral variations in the Somerset Dam Igneous Complex, Queensland, Australia. Masters by Research thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

This project is another step forward in a long tradition of geological research into understanding magmatic systems in the crust which cannot be directly observed. This has been an ongoing field of research in igneous petrology for over 100 years and continues on today. This thesis utilises the latest in analytical data collection technology to collect high resolution in situ chemical data to test the hypothesis of magmatic replenishment in layered mafic intrusions. The results have implications for the understanding of how magma is emplaced within the crust which has been an active research topic in the last 10 years.

Search Google Scholar™

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
