This PhD thesis investigates the processes, products, and timing of fluid-rock interaction in the fossil hydrothermal systems of the Tejeda caldera, Gran Canaria and the Las Canadas caldera, Tenerife (Canary Islands), using ...

The aim of this work is to examine the thermal response of mudrock to the short lived heating event induced by dyke intrusion. The work examines five Carboniferous mudrock horizons, intruded by Tertiary olivine tholeiitic ...

Tenerife Island, Canary archipelago, is at the centre of intense geological research and debate. The island is composed by three principal rift-zones that enclose major collapse structures. This study provides a ...

This study describes and characterises the iron oxide mineralisation (hematite, magnetite, silica) associated with base metal mineralisation in the Irish Central Midlands Basin. The iron oxide mineralisation occurs over a ...

Exhumation, the removal of overburden resulting from the vertical displacement of rocks from maximum burial depth, occurs at both regional and local scales in offshore sedimentary basins and has important implications for ...

It is evident that modification of primary melts from the mantle is significant in magma petrogenesis as primitive magmas are only rarely observed as erupted lavas at the Earth’s surface. Ascent and density filtering of ...

Deformation band fault core has only recently been recognised as a distinct component of deformation band faults. Previously, deformation bands were divided into single deformation bands, zones of deformation bands and ...

This work provides insight into the Tertiary tectonic and stress history of northwest Ireland. It focuses on igneous dykes, as these are the only rocks of Tertiary age in the region. The work also looks at the fundamental ...

Calderas are 1 - 100 km diameter, volcanic depressions that form primarily through m-scale to km–scale subsidence of a magma reservoir roof into an underlying magma reservoir. This study addresses several fundamental ...
