Post-Rifting Magmatism

 Post-Rifting Magmatism

Post-rifting magmatism refers to volcanic and igneous activity that occurs after a continental rifting event has taken place. Once tectonic forces have pulled a landmass apart, forming a rift and often leading to the initial stages of a new ocean basin, magmatic activity may continue even after the primary extensional phase has ended. This late-stage magmatism is typically associated with decompression melting of the mantle and may also be influenced by residual heat and asthenospheric upwelling.

Post-rifting magmatism can result in the intrusion of mafic dikes, sills, and the formation of volcanic centers or seamount chains. It plays a critical role in modifying the crustal structure and geochemistry of rifted margins, contributing to the evolution of passive continental margins and influencing hydrocarbon system development.

Key features of post-rifting magmatism:

  • Occurs after tectonic extension has slowed or stopped.

  • May involve basaltic to alkaline magmas.

  • Can be widespread along passive margins and oceanic islands.

  • Offers insights into mantle dynamics and lithospheric processes post-rift.

This phase is important in understanding the thermal evolution of rifted terrains and is a significant component of continental breakup and plate tectonic theory.

Quantum sensors for GPS-free orientation

Image
Quantum sensors for GPS-free orientation Along each of the three axes of measurement, a mechanical accelerometer is attached to the reference mirror of the atom interferometer, resulting in a classic/quantum hybridization that permits continuous measurement of acceleration with ultralow bias. Measurements of the three vector components are used to determine the acceleration vector, in any direction. The sensor is secured to a rotatable platform for demonstrating measurements from various angles. Credit: iXAtom How can we navigate airliners or allow military vehicles to stay on course without GPS or satellite signals? This is a problem for which quantum inertial sensors offer a solution. Harnessing quantum technology, they can take ultrasensitive measurements of acceleration in three dimensions, and in any orientation. 1st Editional of International Research Awards on Sensing Technology | 23-24 Jan 2023 | India Abstract Submission:  https://x-i.me/gaycon Award Nomination:  h...

Infection prevention and control lapses

Image
Infection prevention and control lapses An Infection Prevention and Control (IPAC) lapse is a departure from infection prevention and control standards that could result in infectious disease transmission through exposure to blood or bodily fluids. IPAC lapses can occur at routinely inspected personal service settings (e.g., nail salons, tattoo, or piercing studios) and settings not routinely inspected by public health including regulated health professional settings (e.g., Physician or nurse practitioner, dental, or physiotherapy clinics). IPAC lapses are disclosed to the public in accordance with the provincial Infection Prevention and Control Complaint Disclosure Protocol. KFL&A Public Health reports on premises where an infection prevention and control lapse was identified through the assessment of a complaint or referral, or through communicable disease surveillance. It does not include reports of premises which were investigated following a complaint or referral where no in...

Fiber Sensing

Image
  🔍 General Description Fiber sensing refers to the use of optical fibers as sensors to detect changes in temperature, pressure, strain, vibration, chemical composition, or electric/magnetic fields . These sensors leverage changes in light propagation within the fiber to sense and measure environmental or structural conditions in real-time. 🧠 Technical Description Fiber optic sensors work by transmitting light through a glass or plastic fiber and analyzing how the light is altered due to external perturbations. These changes may affect intensity, phase, polarization, wavelength, or transit time of the light, depending on the sensing mechanism (e.g., Bragg grating, interferometric, or distributed sensing techniques). 🏗️ Applications Description Fiber sensors are widely used in: Structural Health Monitoring (bridges, tunnels, dams, buildings) Energy Sector (pipeline leakage detection, geothermal sensing, wind turbine monitoring) Aerospace and Defense (vibrati...
