The magnetotelluric phase tensor: a critical review

JR Booker - Surveys in Geophysics, 2014 - Springer
The magnetotelluric (MT) phase tensor is a property of the MT impedance that is resistant to
a common form of distortion due to unresolvable local structure. Review of the theory leads …

An understanding of the formation of large magmatic reservoirs is a key issue for the
evaluation of possible strong volcanic eruptions in the future. We estimated the size and …

Petrological cannibalism: the chemical and textural consequences of incremental magma body growth

K Cashman, J Blundy - Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology, 2013 - Springer
The textures of minerals in volcanic and plutonic rocks testify to a complexity of processes in
their formation that is at odds with simple geochemical models of igneous differentiation …

Crustal inheritance and a top-down control on arc magmatism at Mount St Helens

PA Bedrosian, JR Peacock, E Bowles-Martinez… - Nature …, 2018 - nature.com
In a subduction zone, the volcanic arc marks the location where magma, generated via flux
melting in the mantle wedge, migrates through the crust and erupts. While the location of …
