"This is something that was not documented before this study." This theory of oceanic magma mixing is important because it could represent a transitional step in the formation of back arc basins ...

In particular I am interested the process of magma mixing. I study the texture and geochemistry of lavas to understand the source of the magma and the magmatic processes invovled in its evolution. I ...

These results have important implications for our understanding of the nature of mantle convection, degree of partial melting and extent of magma mixing. Sophisticated geophysical models suggest ...
