Project aim
Macquarie Island basaltic glasses and melt inclusions represent the products of mantle melting, crystal fractionation and degassing in mid-ocean ridge environment. State-of-art analytical techniques will be employed to quantify systematics of volatile and ore-forming elements in different magmatic processes. Implications for the origin of seafloor massive sulphide deposits are expected.
