| Abstract | How magma flows from the Earth’s mantle to the surface is poorly understood. This project will acquire new data in the Galapagos islands to determine if melt flows slowly through the mantle, or quickly through melt-rich channels. The results will help in understanding where seafloor volcanoes form and how frequently they erupt. The project includes support and training of a graduate student and postdoctoral scholar, opportunities for early career scientists to participate in the research cruise, |
