A comparison of geochemical and Sr-Nd-Pb isotopic compositions for Deccan Continental Flood Basalts (CFBs) and Central Indian Ridge (CIR) Basalts is presented: these data permit assessment of possible parental linkages between the two regions, and co...

Quantifying chemical weathering intensity and trace element release from two contrasting basalt profiles, Deccan Traps, India (2013)
Journal Article
Babechuk, M. G., Widdowson, M., & Kamber, B. S. (2014). Quantifying chemical weathering intensity and trace element release from two contrasting basalt profiles, Deccan Traps, India. Chemical Geology, 363, 56-75. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chemgeo.2013.10.027

Weathering profiles developed on basalt substrate contain information relevant to climate, atmospheric composition and evolution, nutrient release into the hydrosphere, and understanding Martian regolith. In this study, the chemical compositions of t... Read More about Quantifying chemical weathering intensity and trace element release from two contrasting basalt profiles, Deccan Traps, India.

An immense shield volcano within the Shatsky Rise oceanic plateau, northwest Pacific Ocean (2013)
Journal Article
Sager, W. W., Zhang, J., Korenaga, J., Sano, T., Koppers, A. A. P., Widdowson, M., & Mahoney, J. J. (2013). An immense shield volcano within the Shatsky Rise oceanic plateau, northwest Pacific Ocean. Nature Geoscience, 6(11), 976-981. https://doi.org/10.1038/ngeo1934

Most oceanic plateaux are massive basaltic volcanoes. However, the structure of these volcanoes, and how they erupt and evolve, is unclear, because they are remote and submerged beneath the oceans. Here we use multichannel seismic profiles and rock s... Read More about An immense shield volcano within the Shatsky Rise oceanic plateau, northwest Pacific Ocean.
