| Title: | Hotspot dynamics in the Coral Sea: connections between the Australian plate and deep Earth |
| Id: | 2470 |
| Investigator(s): | Joanne Whittaker
University of Tasmania - Hobart [details] |
| Description: | In a handful of locations on Earth, hot material rises from deep within the Earth to create lines of volcanoes such as the Hawaiian-Emperor Seamount Chain. We aim to test if the Tasmantid and Lord Howe Seamount chains, hidden in the seas off eastern Australia, should be included in this rare group and if the Louisiade Plateau to the north could have formed from the massive flood of basaltic lava triggered when a rising plume reaches the surface. |
