Brecciation at the grain scale within the lithologies of the Winchcombe Mighei‐like carbonaceous chondrite (2024)
Journal Article
Daly, L., Suttle, M. D., Lee, M. R., Bridges, J., Hicks, L., Martin, P. M. C., …Black, K. (2024). Brecciation at the grain scale within the lithologies of the Winchcombe Mighei‐like carbonaceous chondrite. Meteoritics & Planetary Science, https://doi.org/10.1111/maps.14164

The Mighei‐like carbonaceous (CM) chondrites have been altered to various extents by water–rock reactions on their parent asteroid(s). This aqueous processing has destroyed much of the primary mineralogy of these meteorites, and the degree of alterat...

Estimating π Using the Topography of the Terrestrial Planets (2024)
Journal Article
Vasseur, J., & Wadsworth, F. B. (2024). Estimating π Using the Topography of the Terrestrial Planets. Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 129(3), Article e2024JE008378. https://doi.org/10.1029/2024je008378

It is π‐day 2024 (March 14th) and to celebrate, we ask the question: can π be estimated accurately using the shape of the terrestrial planets and the Moon? We proceed by using models for the planet topographies in slices of constant latitude and comp... Read More about Estimating π Using the Topography of the Terrestrial Planets.

The rheological response of magma to nanolitisation (2024)
Journal Article
Pereira, L., Linard, Y., Wadsworth, F. B., Vasseur, J., Hess, K., Moretti, R., …Neuville, D. R. (2024). The rheological response of magma to nanolitisation. Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research, 448, Article 108039. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jvolgeores.2024.108039

Viscosity exerts a fundamental control on magmatic kinetics and dynamics, controlling magma ascent, eruptive style, and the emplacement of lava. Nanolites – crystals smaller than a micron – are thought to affect magma viscosity, but the underlying me... Read More about The rheological response of magma to nanolitisation.
