This project investigates the melting processes in the Earth's mantle, focusing on the formation of basaltic magmas at mid-ocean ridges and hot-spot locations. It aims to experimentally determine the melting phase relations under high pressure and temperature to better understand magma generation and mantle dynamics.
Partial melting in the Earth’s mantle is the only recognizable process that has generated continents, shallow-and-deep ocean floors, atmosphere, and hydrosphere.
Voluminous basaltic magmas erupt at mid-oceanic ridges (mid-ocean ridge basalts, MORB) as a consequence of mantle upwelling beneath spreading plates.
Volumetrically less significant are magmatic eruptions at oceanic 'hot-spot' locations such as Hawaii and Iceland (ocean-island basalts, OIB).
Because of geochemistry, MORB and OIB carry i…
