Volcanology and sedimentology of the phreatomagmatic eruptive system of the Mawson Formation in Coombs Hills, Victoria Land, Antarctica
Entry ID:
K061_1999_2000_NZ_1
Summary
Abstract:
The volcanology and sedimentology of a phreatomagmatic eruptive system in the Coombs Hills, Victoria Land was investigated to determine how magmatism is initiated and evolves during continental rifting.
Basic field mapping and thin section analysis were used on the Mawson formation at Coombs Hills to distinguish between and map the realtionships among a) non-explosive intrusive ...
