  • Glossary Glossary
    Glossary Glossary Albedo A measure of an object’s reflectivity. A pure white reflecting surface has an albedo of 1.0 (100%). A pitch-black, nonreflecting surface has an albedo of 0.0. The Moon is a fairly dark object with a combined albedo of 0.07 (reflecting 7% of the sunlight that falls upon it). The albedo range of the lunar maria is between 0.05 and 0.08. The brighter highlands have an albedo range from 0.09 to 0.15. Anorthosite Rocks rich in the mineral feldspar, making up much of the Moon’s bright highland regions. Aperture The diameter of a telescope’s objective lens or primary mirror. Apogee The point in the Moon’s orbit where it is furthest from the Earth. At apogee, the Moon can reach a maximum distance of 406,700 km from the Earth. Apollo The manned lunar program of the United States. Between July 1969 and December 1972, six Apollo missions landed on the Moon, allowing a total of 12 astronauts to explore its surface. Asteroid A minor planet. A large solid body of rock in orbit around the Sun. Banded crater A crater that displays dusky linear tracts on its inner walls and/or floor. 250 Basalt A dark, fine-grained volcanic rock, low in silicon, with a low viscosity. Basaltic material fills many of the Moon’s major basins, especially on the near side. Glossary Basin A very large circular impact structure (usually comprising multiple concentric rings) that usually displays some degree of flooding with lava. The largest and most conspicuous lava- flooded basins on the Moon are found on the near side, and most are filled to their outer edges with mare basalts.

  • Tracing Subduction Zone Processes with Magnesium Isotopes
    Tracing subduction zone processes with magnesium isotopes Yan Hu A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2018 Reading Committee: Fang-Zhen Teng, Chair Bruce K. Nelson Ronald S. Sletten Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Earth and Space Sciences © Copyright 2018 Yan Hu University of Washington Abstract Tracing subduction zone processes with magnesium isotopes Yan Hu Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Fang-Zhen Teng Department of Earth and Space Sciences Subduction and recycling of oceanic plates change the chemical composition of mantle and affect its physical properties, thereby modulating Earth’s dynamics. Stable Mg isotopes (δ26Mg) can trace this recycling process as crustal materials are highly fractionated compared to the average mantle composition. This dissertation focuses on Mg isotope fractionation during subduction-related processes and the consequent mantle heterogeneity. The dissertation first compares inconsistent δ26Mg values of San Carlos peridotitic olivines that are published by several laboratories. We analyzed mineral grains from two San Carlos peridotites with disparate lithologies and determined that all mineral phases have indistinguishable δ26Mg values to within 0.07‰. With analytical precision and accuracy being confirmed, the significance of anomalous δ26Mg values can be understood in the context of mantle heterogeneity. The next paper investigates the Mg isotopic heterogeneity in mantle pyroxenites that have formed by multi-stage interactions between peridotites and melts with diverse origins. Pyroxenites formed by reaction with melts derived from subducted oceanic crust and carbonate sediments are shown to have variable δ26Mg values (−1.51‰ to −0.10‰). In contrast, pyroxenites that are formed by reaction with silicate melts from deep mantle has δ26Mg values similar to common mantle peridotites.
