Melt migration through the oceanic lower crust: a constraint from melt percolation modeling with finite solid diffusion
We present a melt percolation model incorporating finite solid diffusion to provide a quantitative constraint on how melt migrates through the oceanic lower crust at fast-spreading ridge axes. The lower crustal, layered gabbro in the Oman ophiolite, which was formed at a fast-spreading ridge, shows correlated variations in primary mineral compositions with a vertical wavelength less than 100–20...

متن کاملObservation and Modeling of a Buried Melt-freeze Crust
Melt-freeze crusts often occur as a result of wet snow, rain or strong insolation. Past observations have revealed the formation of weak layers at their boundaries, even when the depth-averaged temperature gradient favours rounding. Research has, however, predominantly targeted temperature regimes dominated by kinetic growth. During the winter of 2007-2008 University of Calgary researchers unde...
متن کاملMelt segregation and strain partitioning: implications for seismic anisotropy and mantle flow.
One of the principal means of understanding upper mantle dynamics involves inferring mantle flow directions from seismic anisotropy under the assumption that the seismic fast direction (olivine a axis) parallels the regional flow direction. We demonstrate that (i) the presence of melt weakens the alignment of a axes and (ii) when melt segregates and forms networks of weak shear zones, strain pa...
متن کاملQuantifying garnet-melt trace element partitioning using lattice-strain theory: new crystal-chemical and thermodynamic constraints
Many geochemical models of major igneous differentiation events on the Earth, the Moon, and Mars invoke the presence of garnet or its high-pressure majoritic equivalent as a residual phase, based on its ability to fractionate critical trace element pairs (Lu/Hf, U/Th, heavy REE/light REE). As a result, quantitative descriptions of mid-ocean ridge and hot spot magmatism, and lunar, martian, and ...
