Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Water on Olivine Stability in Tholeiites and the Production of Silica-Saturated Magmas in the Island-Arc Environment
Ian A Nicholls,A.E. Ringwood +1 more
TL;DR: Experimental crystallization of olivine tholeiite and $$SiO_{2}$$-saturated tholeIite compositions has demonstrated that addition of water up to the limit of solubility markedly increases the maximum pressure of Olivine stability as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Water-Saturated and -Undersaturated Melting of Metaluminous and Peraluminous Crustal Compositions at 10 kb: Evidence for the Origin of Silicic Magmas in the Taupo Volcanic Zone, New Zealand, and Other Occurrences
Journal ArticleDOI
Variation in parental magmas of Mt Rouse, a complex polymagmatic monogenetic volcano in the basaltic intraplate Newer Volcanics Province, southeast Australia
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented new major, trace and Sr-Nd-Pb isotope data for samples selected on the basis of a detailed stratigraphic framework analysis of the volcanic products from Mt Rouse.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental rare earth element partition coefficients for garnet, clinopyroxene and amphibole coexisting with andesitic and basaltic liquids
Ian A Nicholls,K.L. Harris +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the partitioning of La, Sm, Dy, Ho and Yb between calcic clinopyroxene, calcic amphibole and andesitic and basaltic liquids has been studied experimentally.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial variations in the geochemistry of quaternary lavas across the Sunda arc in Java and Bali
TL;DR: The authors found high-K calc-alkaline lavas over Benioff zone depths in excess of 300 km, where tholeiites were found in the normal island arc association.
