Magma plumbing architecture in Indonesia and the North Atlantic Igneous Province
- 2016

Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Magma plumbing systems represent the physical framework of magma transport and storage from the source region in the mantle, through the crust, until reaching the surface in a volcanic eruption. Characterising the different aspects of magma plumbing, in particular the distribution of magma storage zones throughout the crust, is of key importance to better understand the behaviour of individual volcanoes. In particular, shallow crustal magma storage and associated magma-crust interaction processes could potentially explain some of the worlds most unpredictable and explosive volcanoes. This thesis studies magma plumbing architecture in the Sunda Arc (Indonesia), and the North Atlantic Igneous Province, based on elemental and isotope geochemistry, and derived petrological modelling.In this study, I have employed petrological models, so called geothermobarometers, to calculate pressures and temperatures (P-T) of crustal magma storage. Geothermobarometers are calibrated thermodynamic formulations based on the composition of magmatic minerals and their co-existing melt as a function of the P-T conditions of crystallisation. Using the calculated P-T estimates, I was able to derive the depth of magma storage, and thereby reconstruct the architecture of magma storage systems. A number of different geothermobarometers based on different mineral phases, including plagioclase, clinopyroxene and olivine, were used for this purpose,The geothermobarometric modelling was combined with additional elemental and isotope geochemical analyses, as well as collaborations with geophysical investigations. These additional approaches were used to corroborate the findings of the geothermobarometric modelling, and also to model and quantify magma-crust interaction processes that take place during crustal magma storage, such as assimilation of crustal lithologies into the magmatic system.The findings of this thesis build upon the growing body of evidence in support of the prevalence of shallow magma storage in different volcanic settings worldwide. This realisation is relevant to volcano monitoring and hazard mitigation worldwide.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Mt. Cameroon is one of the most active volcanoes in Africa and poses a possible threat to about half a million people in the area, yet knowledge of the volcano’s underlying magma supply system is sparse. To characterize Mt. Cameroon’s magma plumbing system, we employed mineral-melt equilibrium thermobarometry on the products of the volcano’s two most recent eruptions of 1999 and 2000. Our results suggest pre-eruptive magma storage between 20 and 39 km beneath Mt. Cameroon, which corresponds to the Moho level and below. Additionally, the 1999 eruption products reveal several shallow magma pockets between 3 and 12 km depth, which are not detected in the 2000 lavas. This implies that small-volume magma batches actively migrate through the plumbing system during repose intervals. Evolving and migrating magma parcels potentially cause temporary unrest and short-lived explosive outbursts, and may be remobilized during major eruptions that are fed from sub-Moho magma reservoirs.

Quantifying the crystal cargo of the Cerro Bayo cryptodome, Argentina; A window into pre-emplacement magma processes and storage conditions
-
Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Shallow plumbing systems with intermediate to evolved volcanic systems can show complex magma recycling and recharge systematics. Such evidence is often stored in the information looked within the crystal cargo found in shallow systems. The Cerro Bayo cryptodome provides a classic example of such processes and was emplaced in the upper kilometre of the Miocene, back-arc Chachahuén volcano. Cerro Bayo formed during an extensive dome-building (and collapse) stage of the Chachahuén volcano, and is composed of a porphyritic trachyandesite which contains numerous mafic enclaves. This contribution investigates the deeper magma plumbing system and magmatic processes preceding the emplacement of Cerro Bayo with petrography, mineral chemistry, crystal size distributions and thermobarometry. The main crystals found in Cerro Bayo are plagioclase and amphiboles, found as mixed phenocryst/antecryst and glomerocryts, constituting about 30 vol. % of the rock. Minor mineral phases include pyroxene, apatite and magnetite. Several crystal populations are identified within the Cerro Bayo, which indicate differences within the growth histories of the populations. Some plagioclase crystal display resorbed textures and show zones with sharp increases in An mol% (up to 25 %), indicative of recharge events with hot (more mafic) magma. Whereas other crystals record only small temperature shifts, likely induced by latent heat of crystallisation. Amphibole and clinopyroxene barometers yield average crystallisation pressure estimates that range from 740 to 1036 MPa, however, they overlap within error of the barometers, revealing a storage region prior to shallow emplacement at about 30 to 40 km depth in the lower crust. The voluminous crystal cargo, diverse zoning patterns, sieve-textured plagioclase and the abundant enclaves in Cerro Bayo suggest that the magma was derived from a crystal mush storage region that was mobilised and partly mixed by the recharge of mafic melt.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We present compositional data on a suite of 18 primitive neovolcanic alkali basalts from three flank-zone regions in Iceland (Vestmannaeyjar in the south, Snæfell in the east, and Snæfellsnes in the west) that are peripheral to the main rift zones that are dominated by tholeiitic basalts. This study integrates He isotope data with radiogenic isotope data (Sr–Nd–Pb–Hf), stable isotope data (δ18O), and trace element data to characterize the compositional features of the trace element enriched components of the Icelandic mantle. We also present high-precision Pb isotope data on an additional 57 lava samples from the flank zones (including Öræfajökull in the SE) and the Northern and Eastern rift zones. Most Icelandic lavas have negative Δ207Pb (–4 to –1), with higher values (–1 to +4) found only in samples from Öræfajökull, Snæfell, and parts of the Reykjanes Peninsula. At Snæfell, this EM1-type component is characterized by a low δ18Oolivine signature (+4·1‰ to +4·6‰), moderate 206Pb/204Pb values (18·4–18·6) and mid-ocean ridge basalt (MORB)-like 3He/4He (6·9–7·5 R/RA). Samples from Vestmannaeyjar and Snæfellsnes have mantle-like δ18Oolivine (+4·9‰ to +5·0‰), and radiogenic 206Pb/204Pb values (18·9–19·3) that fall on the Northern Hemisphere Reference Line for 208Pb/204Pb (Δ208Pb –5 to +5). Compared with the Vestmannaeyjar lavas, Snæfellsnes lavas have higher La/YbN (5–11 vs 3–5), lower εNd (5·5–6·5 vs 6·8–7·6) and lower 3He/4He (6·3–8·6 R/RA vs 11·4–13·5 R/RA). Therefore, the most trace element enriched components in the Icelandic mantle are not the carriers of the high 3He/4He values (>15 R/RA) found in some lavas on Iceland and the adjacent ridges, and instead are consistent with degassed, recycled components. Even after excluding the EM1-type high Δ207Pb samples, high-precision Pb isotope data produce a kinked array on a 206Pb/204Pb vs 208Pb/204Pb plot, which is not consistent with simple binary mixing between two end-members. This requires significant lateral heterogeneity within the Icelandic mantle and the presence of more than just two compositionally distinct local mixing end-member components. Samples from each of the main axial rift zones define different trends. Despite the tectonic continuity between the Northern Volcanic Zone and the Eastern Volcanic Zone, lavas from these two rift zones define separate sub-parallel linear arrays. Lavas from the adjacent Western Volcanic Zone and the Eastern Volcanic Zone define oblique linear arrays that converge on a common local end-member that is not involved in the magmatism of the Northern Volcanic Zone. Therefore, there is a distinct NE–SW compositional heterogeneity within the Icelandic mantle.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The northeast rift zone of Tenerife (NERZ) presents a partially eroded volcanic rift that offers a superb opportunity to study the structure and evolution of oceanic rift zones. Field data, structural observations, isotopic dating, magnetic stratigraphy, and isotope geochemistry have recently become available for this rift and provide a reliable temporal framework for understanding the structural and petrological evolution of the entire rift zone. The NERZ appears to have formed in several major pulses of activity with a particularly high production rate in the Pleistocene (ca. 0.99 and 0.56 Ma). The rift underwent several episodes of flank creep and eventual catastrophic collapses driven by intense intrusive activity and gravitational adjustment. Petrologically, a variety of mafic rock types, including crystal-rich ankaramites, have been documented, with most samples isotopically typical of the “Tenerife signal”. Some of the NERZ magmas also bear witness to contamination by hydrothermally altered components of the island edifice and/or sediments. Isotope geochemistry furthermore points to the generation of the NERZ magmas from an upwelling column of mantle plume material mixed with upper asthenospheric mantle. Finally, persistent isotopic similarity through time between the NERZ and the older central edifices on Tenerife provides strong evidence for a genetic link between Tenerife’s principal volcanic episodes.
