New paper coauthored by Prof Longpre of Queens College

Deep intrusions, lateral magma transport and related uplift at ocean island volcanoes Abstract Oceanic intraplate volcanoes grow by accumulation of erupted material as well as by coeval or discrete magmatic intrusions. Dykes and other intrusive bodies within volcanic edifices are comparatively well studied, but intrusive processes deep beneath the volcanoes remain elusive. Although there is geological evidence for deep magmatic intrusions contributing to volcano growth through uplift, this has rarely been demonstrated by real-time monitoring. Here we use geophysical and petrological data from El Hierro, Canary Islands, to show that intrusions from the mantle and subhorizontal transport of magma within …

Arcibar-Orozco, J. A., Giannakoudakis, D. A. and Bandosz, T. J. (2015), Copper Hydroxyl Nitrate/Graphite Oxide Composite as Superoxidant for the Decomposition/Mineralization of Organophosphate-Based Chemical Warfare Agent Surrogate. Advanced Materials Interfaces. doi: 10.1002/admi.201500215 Abstract: Dimethyl chlorophosphate (DMCP) is a surrogate of G-series organophosphate nerve agents. The destruction of DMCP over copper hydroxyl nitrate (CuON) and copper hydroxyl nitrate/graphite oxide composite (CuONGO) is studied. The extent of interactions between DMCP and the adsorbent surface is monitored by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy in a total attenuated reflectance mode at several predetermined time exposures. Thermal analysis/mass spectrometry is also used to determine the reactive adsorption …
