In particular I am interested the process of magma mixing. I study the texture and geochemistry of lavas to understand the source of the magma and the magmatic processes invovled in its evolution. I ...

It is useful because it tells us the crystal grew relatively quickly, which suggests the magma underwent complex events such as mixing with other magma, convection, rising, or releasing gases ...

By the final stages, the magma closest to the core could have contained ... Essentially, it acts as an insulator, preventing them from mixing and potentially explaining the long-lasting ...

Abstract One of the most characterizable types of rocky exoplanets for the coming decades are magma worlds, those with extensive lava or magma oceans at their surfaces, due to their hot, extended ...
