Physics of melt extraction from the mantle: Speed and style

RF Katz, DWR Jones, JF Rudge… - Annual Review of Earth …, 2022 - annualreviews.org
Melt extraction from the partially molten mantle is among the fundamental processes
shaping the solid Earth today and over geological time. A diversity of properties and …

A continuum model of multi-phase reactive transport in igneous systems

T Keller, J Suckale - Geophysical Journal International, 2019 - academic.oup.com
Multiphase reactive transport processes are ubiquitous in igneous systems. A challenging
aspect of modelling igneous phenomena is that they range from solid-dominated porous to …

The influence of spreading rate and permeability on melt focusing beneath mid-ocean ridges

SJ Sim, M Spiegelman, DR Stegman… - Physics of the Earth and …, 2020 - Elsevier
At mid-ocean ridges, oceanic crust is emplaced in a narrow neovolcanic region on the
seafloor, whereas basaltic melt that forms this oceanic crust is generated in a wide region …

Magma ascent in planetesimals: Control by grain size

T Lichtenberg, T Keller, RF Katz, GJ Golabek… - Earth and Planetary …, 2019 - Elsevier
Rocky planetesimals in the early solar system melted internally and evolved chemically due
to radiogenic heating from 26 Al. Here we quantify the parametric controls on magma …

Melting, compaction and reactive flow: controls on melt fraction and composition change in crustal mush reservoirs

H Hu, MD Jackson, J Blundy - Journal of Petrology, 2022 - academic.oup.com
Abstract Changes in melt fraction and local bulk composition in high-crystallinity, crustal
mush reservoirs are essential to produce the large volumes of low-crystallinity, silicic magma …

Chemical heterogeneity, convection and asymmetry beneath mid-ocean ridges

AE Pusok, RF Katz, DA May, Y Li - Geophysical Journal …, 2022 - academic.oup.com
Geophysical observations at some mid-ocean ridges document an across-axis asymmetry in
indicators of magma production. Other observations are interpreted as showing non …

Thermal evolution of the impact‐induced cryomagma chamber beneath Occator crater on Ceres

MA Hesse, JC Castillo‐Rogez - Geophysical Research Letters, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Abstract The faculae in Occator Crater on dwarf planet Ceres are an accumulation of salts
that have been interpreted as cryovolcanic products. Current age estimates from crater …

The viscosities of partially molten materials undergoing diffusion creep

JF Rudge - Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Partially molten materials resist shearing and compaction. This resistance is described by a
fourth‐rank effective viscosity tensor. When the tensor is isotropic, two scalars determine the …

Englacial pore water localizes shear in temperate ice stream margins

M Haseloff, IJ Hewitt, RF Katz - Journal of Geophysical …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
The margins of fast‐moving ice streams are characterized by steep velocity gradients. Some
of these gradients cannot be explained by a temperature‐dependent viscosity alone …

The morphology, evolution and seismic visibility of partial melt at the core–mantle boundary: implications for ULVZs

J Dannberg, R Myhill, R Gassmöller… - Geophysical Journal …, 2021 - academic.oup.com
Seismic observations indicate that the lowermost mantle above the core–mantle boundary
(CMB) is strongly heterogeneous. Body waves reveal a variety of ultra-low velocity zones …
