Plume-lithosphere interaction : geochemical evidence from upper mantle and lower crustal xenoliths from the Kerguelen Islands
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)
This study is a geochemical investigation of the evolution of the Kerguelen plume, on the basis of upper mantle and lower crustal xenoliths. Ultramafic xenoliths include harzburgites predominant, a lherzolite, dunites and ...
Seismic scattering of low-grazing-angle acoustic waves incident on the seafloor
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
The goal of this thesis is to develop a methodology to interpret sound scattered from the seafloor in terms of seafloor structure and subseafloor geological properties. Specifically, this work has been directed towards the ...
Global isotopic signatures of oceanic island basalts / by
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1991)
Sr, Nd and Pb isotopic analyses of 477 samples representing 30 islands or island groups, 3 seamounts or seamount chains, 2 oceanic ridges and 1 oceanic plateau [for a total of 36 geographic features] are compiled to form ...
