Isotopic fingerprinting has long been used to trace magmatic processes and the components
that contribute to magmas. Recent technological improvements have provided an …

This contribution outlines Synchrotron-based X-ray micro-tomography and its potential use
in structural geology and rock mechanics. The paper complements several recent reviews of …

Vesicles in volcanic rocks are frozen records of degassing processes in magmas. For this
reason, their sizes, spatial arrangements, numbers and shapes can be linked to physical …

A fast and effective method has been developed to measure total optical porosity (TOP) of
blue resin-impregnated thin sections. This utilises a macro file (jPOR. txt) for ImageJ, which …

The accurate determination of three-dimensional crystal habit (long–intermediate–short
axis) is a requirement to enable correct stereological conversion of 2D crystal size …

Grinding for mineral liberation is a prerequisite for a successful flotation separation. Different
grinding media produce mineral particles with different surface properties and flotability. In …

The rheology of crystal‐bearing magma and lava depends on both the shape and volume
fraction of the suspended crystals. We present the results of analogue rheometric …

Crystals are rarely composed of a single crystal population that have grown solely from the
batch of magma in which they are resident on emplacement, either by eruption or shallow …

Grain texture characteristics play vital roles in modulating the anisotropy, strength, and
ductility of crystalline rock. Grain textures (shape, size, orientation and heterogeneity) are a …

Grinding for mineral liberation is a prerequisite for a successful flotation separation and
different grinding media produce mineral particles with different morphologies and surface …
