Steady and non-steady state magma chambers below the East Pacific Rise (1996)
Journal Article

Volcanic rocks collected on flowline traverses on the flanks of the East Pacific Rise (EPR) document changes in axial magma chemistry with time, providing a record of the thermal history of axial magma chambers (AMC). We present data for a sample set... Read More about Steady and non-steady state magma chambers below the East Pacific Rise.

Petrology and magma chamber processes at the East Pacific Rise ~ 9°30'N (1992)
Journal Article

We present new major and trace element data for a set of closely spaced (< 1.8 km) dredges along a well-studied portion of the East Pacific Rise (EPR) axis near 90°30′N (9°17′N to 90°50′N). With the exception of enriched mid-ocean ridge basalt (E-MOR... Read More about Petrology and magma chamber processes at the East Pacific Rise ~ 9°30'N.

Geochemistry of near-EPR seamounts: Importance of source vs. process and the origin of enriched mantle component (2002)
Journal Article

Niu and Batiza [Earth Planet. Sci. Lett. 148 (1997) 471–483] show that lavas from the seamounts on the flanks of the East Pacific Rise (EPR) between 5° and 15°N vary from extremely depleted tholeiites to highly enriched alkali basalts. The extent of... Read More about Geochemistry of near-EPR seamounts: Importance of source vs. process and the origin of enriched mantle component.

Magmatic processes at a slow spreading ridge segment: 26°S Mid-Atlantic Ridge (1994)
Journal Article

We present new data on the mineralogy, and major and trace element compositions of lavas dredged along a segment of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge at ∼26°S. This segment is bounded on the north by the Rio Grande transform and on the south by the Moore discon...

Journal Article
Hendry, R. (2006). ‘Elements, compounds and other chemical kinds’. Philosophy of Science, 73(5), 864-875. https://doi.org/10.1086/518745

In this paper I assess the problems and prospects of a microstructural approach to chemical substances. Kripke and Putnam famously claimed that (a) to be gold is to have atomic number 79, and (b) to be water is to be H2O. I relate (a) to the concept...

High-3He/4He, depleted mantle and low-δ18O, recycled oceanic lithosphere in the source of central Iceland magmatism (2005)
Journal Article

New helium and oxygen isotope data and trace element concentrations are reported for volcanic rocks from central Iceland. Basalts that are depleted in the most incompatible trace elements possess a wide range in 3He/4He but most ratios are similar to...
