and the geologist who ten years ago was embarrassed by the shortness of the time allowed to him for the evolution of the earth's crust is now still more embarrassed by the superabundance with ...

Extraction of the continental crust has left the Earth's mantle depleted ... one of the most fundamental processes for the continuing evolution and chemical differentiation of our planet.

We have expended a deal of effort in understanding the growth of the continental crust on Earth, notably from the in situ measurement of isotopes in single mineral grains, and as a consequence the ...

At CU Boulder, we use petrology to study the formation of volcanoes and their magmatic sources, the evolution of continental crust during the growth and destruction of mountain belts, the genesis of ...

the origin and evolution of the Earth's mantle and continental crust; the generation and transport of basaltic magma; the development and evolution of volcanic systems; magma degassing; volcanic ...

What magma evolution processes generate continental crust, and over what timescales? And, how are mid-ocean ridge magmas and eruptions affected by sea level changes? I investigate these questions and ...

An international research team led by the University of Göttingen has investigated the influence of the forces exerted by the ...

the interaction of the Earth's mantle with other major reservoirs (continental crust, core), and the estimation of the bulk composition of major Earth reservoirs, to more localized aspects of melt ...

These movements have altered the positions and topography of the continents, contributing to the current state of the planet’s crust. While certain regions of the continental crust, known as ...

Our research group uses multidisciplinary tools to address fundamental geological questions related to the origin and evolution of Earth and other planetary bodies. The main focus is on the crust ...
