A new study uncovers how volatile-rich magmas propel diamond-bearing kimberlites from Earth’s depths. If you’ve ever admired a diamond, chances are it originated from a kimberlite. More than 70% of ...

When a team of scientists drilling near an Icelandic volcano hit magma in 2009, they had to abandon their planned experiments on geothermal energy. But the mishap could point the way to an alternative ...

Juliana Curtis, a senior Geology major with an Environmental Science co-major and a certificate in Geographic Information Systems, has collected rocks her entire life. Soon after coming to Miami, she ...

Reservoirs of silica-rich magma – the kind that causes the most explosive volcanic eruptions – can persist in Earth's upper crust for hundreds of thousands of years without triggering an eruption, ...

Using supercomputer modeling, scientists have unveiled a new explanation for the geology underlying recent seismic imaging of magma bodies below Yellowstone National Park. Using supercomputer modeling ...

Ben Urann, an NSF Ocean Sciences Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the UW Department of Geology and Geophysics, was part of a research team that discovered magma in volcanic rocks that never erupted -- ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Quartz-monzodiorite is generally considered to represent the parent magma of high-Mg quartz-monzodiorite plutonic suites; thus such suites are ...

An illustration of Earth as it existed during part of its formation billions of years ago, when an ocean of magma covered the surface of the planet and stretched thousands of miles deep into the core.

This degree is specifically intended for people who are chomping at the bit to enter their geosciences career and move up ...

The beginnings of a strange layer of molten rock deep inside the Earth may have finally been figured out by geoscientists. This layer, known as the D" layer, is about 1,900 miles underneath the ...
