Persistent multitiered magma plumbing beneath Katla volcano, Iceland
- 2016

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Recent seismic unrest and a persistent Holocene eruption record at Katla volcano, Iceland indicate that a near-future eruption is possible. Previous petrological investigations suggest that Katla is supplied by a simple plumbing system that delivers magma directly from depth, while seismic and geodetic data also point toward the existence of upper-crustal magma storage. To characterize Katla's recent plumbing system, we established mineral-melt equilibrium crystallization pressures from four age-constrained Katla tephras spanning from 8 kyr BP to 1918. The results point to persistent shallow- (≤8 km depth) as well as deep-crustal (ca. 10 – 25 km depth) magma storage beneath Katla throughout the last 8 kyr. The presence of multiple magma storage regions implies that mafic magma from the deeper reservoir system may become gas-rich during ascent and storage in the shallow crust and erupt explosively. Alternatively, it might intersect evolved magma pockets in the shallow-level storage region, and so increase the potential for explosive mixed-magma ash eruptions.

Transformation or consolidation : Evaluating transformative agreements at Uppsala University with an eye to the future
- 2021
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In the last few years, we have seen how publishing agreements have become increasingly common across Europe. At Uppsala University, the traditional subscription agreements now represent a minority of our agreements with the publishers and we suspect they will be phased out. Currently, our most common type of publishing agreements are the transformative agreements negotiated on the national level by the Bibsam consortia and offered to all Swedish higher education institutions. These transformative agreements currently cover most major international publishers and could be considered the new normal.Uppsala University is one of the largest and oldest universities in northern Europe. We are a truly multidisciplinary university, covering the humanities, social sciences, medicine, science and technology. This means that the university library should ideally be able to provide the same level of publishing support for theologists as well as geologists. With that in mind, the library was tasked to evaluate our portfolio of publishing agreements, with a special focus on the impact of the transformative ones. We wanted specifically to look at these new agreements in regards to 1) the impact for the individual researchers 2) economic aspects on various levels, and 3) the paradigm shift towards open science that is taking place in scholarly communication.–We have identified a few key effects and aspects of the transformative agreements:• They remove thresholds and provide a smooth transition to OA publishing• They are arguably very expensive. Are these just the latest iteration of the “Big Deals”?• The coverage is not equal for all parts of the university. Great coverage for STEM, not so much for the arts and humanities.• Other publishing actors are unfairly and disproportionally disadvantaged. Non-commercial OA publishers, diamond OA and small scale society publishing lose much of their advantage on the already dysfunctional publishing market.–What to do next?• A local strategy for publishing agreements is needed to complement what is provided by national consortia.• Libraries should divert more energy towards support for DIY publishing and other researcher-led initiatives.• The time for OA advocacy is in the past. It is time for global and holistic open science perspectives.In conclusion, our view is that transformative agreements are highly useful for us at this point in time, but need to be managed and complemented. It is essential that we keep monitoring the costs, provide alternatives and develop our services portfolio. Above all, we need to recognise that these agreements are a stepping stone on the path towards open science. They are, however, not the final solution.

Magma storage and plumbing of adakite-type post-ophiolite intrusions in the Sabzevar ophiolitic zone, northeast Iran
- 2015
-
In: Solid Earth. - : Copernicus GmbH. - 1869-9510 .- 1869-9529. ; 6:1, s. 49-72
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Subduction-related adakite-type intrusive rocks emplaced into the late Cretaceous-Paleocene Sabzevar ophiolite zone, northeast Iran, range from Mg-andesite to rhyodacite in composition. Here we investigate the magma supply system to these subvolcanic intrusive rocks by applying thermobarometric mineral and mineral-melt equilibrium models, including amphibole thermobarometry, plagioclase-melt thermobarometry and clinopyroxene-melt barometry. Based on the results of these thermobarometric models, plagioclase crystallized dominantly at pressures of similar to 350 (130 to 468) MPa, while amphiboles record both low pressures (similar to 300 MPa) and very high pressures (> 700 MPa) of crystallization. The latter is supported by the calculated pressures for clinopyroxene crystallization (550 to 730 MPa). The association of amphibole with clinopyroxene and no plagioclase in the most primitive samples (Mg-andesites) is consistent with amphibole fractionation from very hydrous magmas at deep crustal levels of the plumbing system, which may have been a key process in intensifying adakite-type affinities in this rock suite. Barometry, combined with frequent disequilibrium features such as oscillatory-zoned and sieve-textured plagioclase crystals with An-rich overgrowths in more evolved samples, implies that final magma differentiation occurred in an open upper crustal magma system that developed progressively stronger compositional modifications during high-level magma storage.

Fault-Controlled Magma Ascent Recorded in the Central Series of the Rum Layered Intrusion, NW Scotland
- 2020
-
In: Journal of Petrology. - : Oxford University Press (OUP). - 0022-3530 .- 1460-2415. ; 61:10
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The Palaeogene layered ultrabasic intrusion of the Isle of Rum forms the hearth of the Rum Igneous Centre in NW-Scotland. The regional Long Loch Fault, which is widely held to represent the feeder system to the layered magma reservoir, dissects the intrusion and is marked by extensive ultrabasic breccias of various types. Here we explore the connection between the layered ultrabasic cumulate rocks and breccias of central Rum that characterize the fault zone (the ‘Central Series’) and evaluate their relationship with the Long Loch Fault system. We show that fault splays in the Central Series define a transtensional graben above the Long Loch Fault into which portions of the layered units subsided and collapsed to form the extensive breccias of central Rum. The destabilization of the cumulate pile was aided by intrusion of Ca-rich ultrabasic magmas along the faults, fractures and existing bedding planes, creating a widespread network of veins and dykelets that provided a further means of disintegration and block detachment. Enrichment in LREE and compositional zoning in intra cumulate interstices suggest that the collapsed cumulates were infiltrated by relatively evolved plagioclase-rich melt, which led to extensive re-crystallization of interstices. Clinopyroxene compositions in Ca-rich gabbro and feldspathic peridotite veins suggest that the intruding magma was also relatively water-rich, and that pyroxene crystallized dominantly below the current level of exposure. We propose that the Long Loch Fault opened and closed repeatedly to furnish the Rum volcano with a pulsing magma conduit. When the conduit was shut, pressure built up in the underlying plumbing system, but was released during renewed fault movements to permit dense and often crystal-rich ultrabasic magmas to ascend rapidly from depth. These spread laterally on arrival in the shallow Rum magma reservoir, supplying repetitive recharges of crystal-rich magma to assemble the rhythmic layering of the Rum layered intrusion.

Magmatic water contents determined through clinopyroxene : Examples from the Western Canary Islands, Spain
- 2015
-
In: Geochemistry Geophysics Geosystems. - 1525-2027. ; 16:7, s. 2127-2146

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Water is a key parameter in magma genesis, magma evolution, and resulting eruption styles, because it controls the density, the viscosity, as well as the melting and crystallization behavior of a melt. The parental water content of a magma is usually measured through melt inclusions in minerals such as olivine, a method which may be hampered, however, by the lack of melt inclusions suitable for analysis, or postentrapment changes in their water content. An alternative way to reconstruct the water content of a magma is to use nominally anhydrous minerals (NAMs), such as pyroxene, which take up low concentrations of hydrogen as a function of the magma's water content. During magma degassing and eruption, however, NAMs may dehydrate. We therefore tested a method to reconstruct the water contents of dehydrated clinopyroxene phenocrysts from the Western Canary islands (n=28) through rehydration experiments followed by infrared and Mossbauer spectroscopy. Employing currently available crystal/melt partitioning data, the results of the experiments were used to calculate parental water contents of 0.710.07 to 1.490.15 wt % H2O for Western Canary magmas during clinopyroxene crystallization at upper mantle conditions. This H2O range is in agreement with calculated water contents using plagioclase-liquid-hygrometry, and with previously published data for mafic lavas from the Canary Islands and comparable ocean island systems elsewhere. Utilizing NAMs in combination with hydrogen treatment can therefore serve as a proxy for pre-eruptive H2O contents, which we anticipate becoming a useful method applicable to mafic rocks where pyroxene is the main phenocryst phase.

Absence of hydrothermal oxygen isotope variations in host rocks supports magmatic origin of the giant Grängesberg iron oxide–apatite (IOA) deposit, Central Sweden
- 2022
-
In: International journal of earth sciences. - : Springer Nature. - 1437-3254 .- 1437-3262. ; 111:2, s. 425-437

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The origin of Kiruna-type iron oxide–apatite ores is controversial, and debate presently centres on a ‘magmatic’ versus a ‘hydrothermal’ mode of formation. To complement recent investigations on the Grängesberg iron oxide–apatite ore deposit in the northwestern part of the Palaeoproterozoic Bergslagen ore province in central Sweden, we investigated the oxygen isotope composition of the host rocks of this large iron oxide–apatite ore body. As the metavolcanic and metagranitoid country rocks around the Grängesberg ore body either pre-date or are coeval with ore formation, they would be expected to record an extensive isotopic imprint if the ore body had formed by large-scale hydrothermal processes involving an externally sourced fluid. A direct magmatic formation process, in turn, would have produced localized alteration only, concentrated on the immediate vicinity of the ore body. Here, we test these two hypotheses by assessing the oxygen isotope variations in the host rocks around the main Grängesberg iron oxide–apatite ore body. We analysed oxygen isotopes in quartz from metavolcanic (n = 17) and metagranitoid host rocks (n = 14) from the vicinity of the ore body, and up to 2 km distance along and across the strike of the ore body. Remarkably, we find no significant variation in δ18O values with distance from the ore body, or any deviations in country rock δ18O from common magmatic and/or regional values. Only two samples show shifts to values more negative than the common magmatic range, indicating highly localized hydrothermal overprint only. As a large-scale, low-temperature hydrothermal origin of the ore body through voluminous fluid percolation would be expected to have left a distinct imprint on the oxygen isotope values of the country rocks, our results are more consistent with an ortho-magmatic origin for the Grängesberg iron oxide–apatite ore.
