Grant Activity:
The re-awakening of a mantle plume – the nature and petrogenesis of Neogene volcanism on the Central Kerguelen Plateau
Purpose:
Mantle plumes are cylinders of buoyant hot rock that rise from the deep Earth. Active since ~135 million years ago, the Kerguelen plume is thought to be the magma source of Australia’s active hot spot volcanoes, Heard and McDonald islands on the central Kerguelen Plateau in the Southern Ocean. This project will test controversial models of plume dynamics to explain the complex spatial, temporal, petrological, and geochemical patterns of central Kerguelen Plateau volcanism in the last 30 million years. The outcomes will be new insights into the dynamics and timescales of plume volcanism with global implications for both active and ancient mantle plumes.
