Insights into Glacial Terminations from a South Atlantic Perspective
(2016-07-15)The last two glacial terminations represent the most recent, and best documented, periods of Earth warming in the geological record. During these terminations atmospheric CO\textsubscript{2 }rose by approximately 100 ppm ... -
Crystal mobilisation in convecting magma chambers: an analogue experimental approach
(2017-09-01)Solidified igneous intrusions from originally liquid magma chambers display a large number of different sedimentary features. These features include the gravitational collapse of sidewalls producing slumps and the layering ... -
Aspects of transformation behaviour in olivines, pyroxenes and titanomagnetites
(Department of Earth Sciences, University of Cambridge, 1980-10-21)Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has been used to investigate the assumptions made in several branches of geophysics, concerning the behaviour of materials. TEM observations made on shocked olivines and pyroxenes ... -
Coupling source term, mineral reactivity and flow in radionuclide transport
(2017-05-01)The focus of this work is to investigate the dissolution of MW25, a non-radioactive simulant of UK high-level nuclear waste borosilicate glass, and to predict its performance in the near field of a geological repository. ...
