Highly Siderophile Elements, 187Re-187Os and 182Hf-182W Isotopic Systematics of Early Solar System Materials: Constraining the Early Evolution of Chondritic and Achondritic Parent Bodies
(2016)
Highly siderophile element (HSE) abundances and 187Re-187Os isotopic systematics for H chondrites and ungrouped achondrites, as well as 182Hf-182W isotopic systematics of H and CR chondrites are reported.
Achondrite ...
Inverse Spectral Methods in Acoustic Normal Mode Velocimetry of High Reynolds Number Spherical Couette Flows
(2016)
Experimental geophysical fluid dynamics often examines regimes of fluid flow infeasible for computer simulations. Velocimetry of zonal flows present in these regimes brings many challenges when the fluid is opaque and ...
CONSTRAINTS ON THE LITHOSPHERIC STRUCTURE OF MID OCEAN RIDGES FROM OCEANIC CORE COMPLEX MORPHOLOGY
(2016)
The Mid-oceanic ridge system is a feature unique to Earth. It is one of the fundamental components of plate tectonics and reflects interior processes of mantle convection within the Earth. The thermal structure beneath the ...
Assessing the Oxidative History of Miller Range Martian Meteorites
(2016)
Miller Range (MIL) Martian meteorites are oxidized nakhlites. Early studies attribute their oxidation to reduction-oxidation reactions involving assimilated sulfate. I utilize the sulfur isotope and major element composition ...
Evolution of strength and physical properties of ultramafic and carbonate rocks under hydrothermal conditions
(2016)
Interaction of rocks with fluids can significantly change mineral assemblage and structure. This so-called hydrothermal alteration is ubiquitous in the Earth’s crust. Though the behavior of hydrothermally altered rocks can ...
