Geology of Eastern Papua
Hugh L Davies,Ian E. M. Smith +1 more
TL;DR: The Papuan ultramafic belt is a southeasterly trending mountainous peninsula with islands to the east and southeast, between 7° to 12° S. and 146° to 155° E. as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geochemical characteristics of lavas from Broken Ridge, the Naturaliste Plateau and southernmost Kerguelen Plateau: Cretaceous plateau volcanism in the southeast Indian Ocean☆
John J. Mahoney,W.B. Jones,Frederick A. Frey,Vincent J. M. Salters,Douglas G. Pyle,Hugh L Davies +5 more
TL;DR: Isotopic and incompatible-element ratios of the plateau lavas are distinct from those of Indian mid-ocean ridge basalts; their Nd, Sr, 207Pb 204Pb and 208Pb204Pb isotopic ratios overlap with but cover a much wider range than measured for more recent oceanic products of the Kerguelen hotspot (including the Ninetyeast Ridge) or, indeed, oceanic lavas from any other hotspot in the world as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ice in the 1994 Rabaul eruption cloud : implications for volcano hazard and atmospheric effects
William I. Rose,David J. Delene,David J. Schneider,Gregg J. S. Bluth,Arlin J. Krueger,Ian E. Sprod,C. McKee,Hugh L Davies,Gerald G. J. Ernst +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, a satellite-borne infrared sensor was used to detect 2 million tonnes of ice in the cloud produced by the September 1994 eruption of Rabaul volcano, in Papua New Guinea.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emplacement of ophiolite in Papua New Guinea
Hugh L Davies,A. L. Jaques +1 more
TL;DR: In the case of the Papuan ultramafic belt, there is evidence that emplacement was preceded by development of a secondary rupture in the down-going plate, at some distance from the subduction zone, and was followed by extension, buoyant emergence, and reversed movement of the ophiolite as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Geology of New Guinea - The Cordilleran Margin of the Australian Continent
TL;DR: The island of New Guinea is the mountainous margin of the Australian continent as mentioned in this paper, and is an aggregation of terranes that have accreted since the Late Cretaceous, driven by oblique convergence between the Pacific and Indo-Australian plates.
