From the Colorado Plateau to Beyond Earth: Using Magmatic Intrusions into Sulphate-rich Sediments as Analogue for Planetary Habitable Environments.
Lead Research Organisation:
The Open University
Department Name: Faculty of Sci, Tech, Eng & Maths (STEM)
Abstract
Overview:
Rocks of basaltic composition dominate the Earth's oceanic crust, they dominated the Early Earth's surface and they are ubiquitous on Mars and even Venus. This PhD project will investigate a focused problem of basaltic magma-sediment-water interaction on Earth and extrapolate the findings to the Early Earth and potentially other planetary environments.
