Cape Verde Islands 2003In Oct 2003 I went to the Cape Verde islands with Paul Martin Holm (University of Copenhagen), Abigail Barker and Lars. Abi's Ph.D. project with Paul and myself was to study the temporal compositional changes of magmatism on Santiago island where there is an volcanic record of over 6 million years, and this is where we spent most of our time. Paul & I also took a side visit to the neighbouring islands of Maio and Boa Vista to do some reconnaissance sampling of these less well-studied islands. |
