Limited latitudinal mantle plume motion for the Louisville hotspot (2012)
Journal Article
Koppers, A. A., Yamazaki, T., Geldmacher, J., Gee, J. S., Pressling, N., Hoshi, H., …Williams, R. (2012). Limited latitudinal mantle plume motion for the Louisville hotspot. Nature Geoscience, 5(12), 911-917. https://doi.org/10.1038/ngeo1638

Hotspots that form above upwelling plumes of hot material from the deep mantle typically leave narrow trails of volcanic seamounts as a tectonic plate moves over their location. These seamount trails are excellent recorders of Earth's deep processes... Read More about Limited latitudinal mantle plume motion for the Louisville hotspot.

Shallow laccolithic emplacement of the Land’s End and Tregonning granites, Cornwall, UK: evidence from aureole field relations and PT modeling of cordierite-anthophyllite hornfels (2012)
Journal Article
Pownall, J. M., Waters, D. J., Searle, M. P., Shail, R. K., & Robb, L. J. (2012). Shallow laccolithic emplacement of the Land’s End and Tregonning granites, Cornwall, UK: evidence from aureole field relations and PT modeling of cordierite-anthophyllite hornfels. Geosphere, 8(6), 1467-1504. https://doi.org/10.1130/GES00802.1

The Land’s End and Tregonning-Godolphin granites of the >250 km-long Permian Cornubian Batholith are heterogeneous medium- to coarse-grained peraluminous biotite-, tourmaline-, and lithium-mica granites traditionally thought to be emplaced as massive...

Variety and origin of magmas on Shatsky Rise, northwest Pacific Ocean (2012)
Journal Article
Sano, T., Shimizu, K., Ishikawa, A., Senda, R., Chang, Q., Kimura, J. I., …Sager, W. W. (2012). Variety and origin of magmas on Shatsky Rise, northwest Pacific Ocean. Geochemistry, geophysics, geosystems G³, 13(8), Article Q08010. https://doi.org/10.1029/2012GC004235

Shatsky Rise consists of thick (∼30km maximum) basaltic crust with various geochemical compositions. Geochemistry data indicate that four magma types exist on the plateau; namely normal, low-Ti, high-Nb, and U1349 types. The normal type is the most a...

Near-vent processes of the 273 ka Poris eruption (Tenerife) (2012)
Thesis
Smith, N. (2012). Near-vent processes of the 273 ka Poris eruption (Tenerife). (PhD). Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/2598095

Near-vent processes during caldera-forming explosive eruptions are poorly known, as are relations between proximal and counterpart distal ignimbrites. Consequently, understanding of the full course of these eruptions and how to analyse their deposits... Read More about Near-vent processes of the 273 ka Poris eruption (Tenerife).

Response to Baksi, A., 2012, 'New 40Ar/ 39Ar dating of the Grande Ronde lavas, Columbia River Basalts, USA: Implications for duration of flood basalt eruption episodes' by Barry et al., 2010-Discussion' (2012)
Journal Article
Barry, T. L., Self, S., Kelley, S. P., Reidel, S., Hooper, P., & Widdowson, M. (2012). Response to Baksi, A., 2012, 'New 40Ar/ 39Ar dating of the Grande Ronde lavas, Columbia River Basalts, USA: Implications for duration of flood basalt eruption episodes' by Barry et al., 2010-Discussion'. Lithos, 146-147, 300-303. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.lithos.2012.04.011

Baksi (2012) claims that a number of radiometric ages presented in Barry et al. (2010) are statistically invalid and that many of the samples were altered, thus not able to date the eruptions, and that there is no compelling evidence for a limited du...

Conditional frequency mapping of move reservoir sedimentation models for improved play assessment (2012)
Presentation / Conference
Waltham, D. A., Rowley, P. J., Burgess, P. M., & MacLean, S. (2012, February). Conditional frequency mapping of move reservoir sedimentation models for improved play assessment. Paper presented at Petroleum Play Assessment

Stratigraphic forward models encode what we know about dynamic stratigraphy in the form of a numerical model that can make various types of predictions of stratal geometries and facies distributions. Unfortunately, limited knowledge of the physical l... Read More about Conditional frequency mapping of move reservoir sedimentation models for improved play assessment.
