Igneous and metamorphic petrology of lavas and dykes of the Macquarie Island ophiolite complex.
Macquarie Island is an emergent part of the Macquarie Ridge, which runs south from New Zealand to join the Indian-Pacific ridge system, and marks the boundary between the Indian-Australian and the Pacific plates. Most of Macquarie Island is composed of fault-bounded blocks of volcanic rocks that are...
