Isotope Systematics of Gypsum and its Hydration Water
(2019-03-30)Triple oxygen and hydrogen isotope analysis of the structurally-bound water in gypsum can provide a direct measure of past hydrologic variability. This thesis presents the development of the water extraction and isotopic ... -
Dyke-induced earthquakes during the 2014-15 Bárðarbunga-Holuhraun rifting event, Iceland
(2019-03-30)Understanding dykes is vital as they serve both as bodies that build the crust and as conduits that feed eruptions. The 2014-15 Bárðarbunga-Holuhraun rifting event comprised the best-monitored dyke intrusion to date and ... -
Environmental Change Impacts on Marine Calcifiers: Spatial and Temporal Biomineralisation Patterns in Mytilid Bivalves
(2019-02-23)Environmental change is a major threat to marine ecosystems worldwide. Understanding the key biological processes and environmental factors mediating spatial and temporal species’ responses to habitat alterations underpins ... -
On the Viscoelastic Deformation of the Earth
(2019-04-06)Post-seismic deformation and glacial isostatic adjustment are two processes by which the Earth deforms viscoelastically. In both cases, the details of the deformation depend on the rheological structure of the Earth as ...
