Department Seminar (Virtual)

Speaker: Laura Waters, New Mexico Tech, (hosted by Ethan Hyland) Seminar Title: Why Doesn't Continental Crust Evolve to its Fullest Potential? Abstract: The paucity of high-silica rhyolite in volcanic arcs and its restricted occurrence as scattered aplite dikes throughout arc granitoid batholiths suggests there is a mechanism that prevents high-silica (near-eutectic) rhyolite melts from coalescing and erupting…
