Melt inclusions from the Southwest Indian Ridge and Reykjanes Ridge : insights into melt extraction and magma chamber processes

Naturally glassy melt inclusions trapped in olivine, plagioclase and pyroxene crystals in basalts from the Southwest Indian Ridge (SWIR) (49 o E-69 o E) and the Reykjanes (RR) (57 o N-63 o N) are used to study the diversity in composition of primary melts, the conditions of mantle melting, source co...
