Orogenic Plateau Magmatism (NERC grant NE/H021620/1)

This dataset contains major element, trace element and isotopic analyses for samples collected during the NERC project "Orogenic Plateau Magmatism" (NE/H021620/1) (2011-2014). Samples are late Cenozoic volcanic rocks erupted across centres of the Iranian or Armenian sectors of the Turkish-Iranian Plateau, during the ongoing Arabia-Eurasia continental collision. Results have been published in the following papers: Allen, M.B., Kheirkhah, M., Neill, I., Emami, M.H. & McLeod, C.L.

Data Quality

Data arise from fieldtrips in Armenia and Iran conducted by the project PI, Mark Allen, PDRA Iain Neill, and project partners Monireh Kheirkhah and Khachik Meilsetian (together with help from colleagues at the Geological Survey of Iran and the Academy of Sciences of Armenia). Analyses were conducted at the universities of Durham (isotopes and trace elements) and Leicester (majors and some trace elements). Full analytical details are reported in each of the papers noted in the abstract. All results are as reported in those papers.
