The Role of Stagnant Slabs at the Transition Zone on Widespread Volcanism in Eastern Australia and Zealandia
Intraplate volcanism triggered by the release of subducted volatiles during bursts in slab flux
Stagnant slabs at the transition zone linked to widespread volcanism in Eastern Australia and Zealandia
Partial melting of ancient subducted slabs provide a framework through which to explain non-age progressive volcanism in a region of …
All models are wrong: Testing your assumptions (keynote)
Approaching earth science problems in a “data-driven” philosophy can help glean new insights into our problem and quantify uncertainty.
The origin of intraplate mafic volcanism along the eastern margin of Australia
The eastern margin of Australia has experienced extensive mafic volcanism since its breakaway from Antarctica (~ 80 Ma). A plume origin …

G.O.THERM Project: an integrated approach to probe the deep thermal structure of Ireland
With the backdrop of climate change and Ireland’s reliance on fossil fuels, the need to exploit Ireland’s potential for …
Uncertainty reduction of geothermal heat flux from assimilating seismic tomography and depth to Curie temperature
Surface heat flux is highly sensitive to small temperature fluctuations at varying timescales. The magnitude of these variations depend …
Probing the geothermal potential of Ireland
Geothermal power is traditionally viable only in volcanically active regions, however direct application of this energy source for …
Adjoint inversion of geothermal potential in Ireland assimilating surface heat flow, seismic velocity, and Curie depth
Temperature models for assessing geothermal potential are usually concerned with the upper 5 km of the crust. The configuration of …
Estimating the depth to the Curie isotherm: a synthesis of the methodology and its application to Ireland.
Magnetic data is one of the most common geophysics datasets available on the surface of the Earth. At long wavelengths it pertains …
