AUSTIN, Texas?- Junior Skylar White collected the lone victory of the day with a shot put title at the Texas Relays on Saturday at Mike A. Myers Stadium in Austin, Texas.

"It was a typical Texas Relays, lots ups and downs and lots in-between," head coach Todd Harbour said. "We are really proud of the way our team competed. Skylar (White) did a fantastic job in the shot put, she's just been so consistent for us. You never like to lose in the 4x4 or see an athlete like Woody (Randall) go down with an injury, but all-in-all we had a really solid weekend."

White, who entered the meet ranked fifth in the NCAA, moved up one spot with a season-best toss of 55 feet, 5.75 inches to take the meet title. The junior was in second after the first three tosses, but moved into the lead on her fourth throw of 54-10.75 and then added seven more inches on her fifth throw to put the competition out of reach. White's win was Baylor's first-ever Texas Relays title in the event.

In the men's 4x400-meter relay, the Bears squad of Justin Allen, Blake Heriot, James Gilreath and Zwede Hewitt lost a close battle with LSU to finish second with a time of 3:04.67. Baylor and LSU managed to get to the front of the pack as Texas A&M dropped out to injury and USC mishandled an exchange. Hewitt, BU's anchor runner, took the baton in second, but sped into first around the opening curve. As the teams stayed within a half-stride of each other, it was LSU's Ryker Hilton that won the footrace down the homestretch to give his team the win.

Baylor's sprint relays had another solid day with core trio of Woodrow Randall, Whitney Prevost and Everett Walker each running on the 4x100 and 4x200-meter relays. The group was joined by Zwede Hewitt to battle the special Invitational section for third place with a time of 39.44 out of Lane 1. In the 4x200, Blake Heriot rounded out the group that placed second overall at 1:21.76, the eighth-fastest time in program history.

In the distance medley relays, both teams posted top-four finishes with the men's crew taking third. The team of Gavyn Nero, Joe Barb, Drew Seale and

Individually, sophomore Tiffani McReynolds set her season-best in the 100 hurdles, placing second overall with a time of 12.97 to rank second in the NCAA this season.

In the 400-meter hurdles, Baylor picked up a pair of fourth-place finishes. For the women, junior Christina Holland bettered her personal record from Thursday with a time of 57.69, a top-10 time nationally. On the men's side, sophomore Gabriel El Hanbli lowered his season-best to 51.39, a top-15 time nationally.

Walker and Randall also took to the track again in the men's 100 meters, but with varying results. Walker sprinted the homestretch in a fourth-place time of 10.27, but Randall suffered a cramp with 30 meters left and came in seventh.

Baylor's distance crew will be the only team members in action next weekend, traveling to the west coast for the Stanford Invitational on April 6-7 in Stanford, Calif.

Volcanic plumbing exposed

Friday, March 30, 2012

Two new studies into the "plumbing systems" that lie under volcanoes could bring scientists closer to predicting large eruptions.

International teams of researchers, led by the University of Leeds, studied the location and behaviour of magma chambers on the Earth's mid-ocean ridge system - a vast chain of volcanoes along which the Earth forms new crust.

They worked in Afar (Ethiopia) and Iceland - the only places where mid-ocean ridges appear above sea level. Volcanic ridges (or "spreading centres") occur when tectonic plates "rift" or pull apart. Magma (hot molten rock) injects itself into weaknesses in the brittle upper crust, erupting as lava and forming new crust upon cooling.

Magma chambers work like plumbing systems, channelling pressurised magma through networks of underground "pipes".

The studies, published in Nature Geoscience, reveal new information about where magma is stored and how it moves through the geological plumbing network. Finding out where magma chambers lie and how they behave can help identify early warning signs of impending eruptions.

Scientists used images taken by the European Space Agency satellite Envisat to measure how the ground moved before, during and after eruptions. Using this data, they built and tested computer models to find out how rifting occurs.

Data in one study showed magma chambers that fed an eruption in November 2008 in the Afar rift of Northern Ethiopia were only about 1 km below the ground. The standard model had predicted a depth of more than 3 km.

It is highly unusual for magma chambers to lie in shallow depths on slow spreading centres such as the Afar rift, where tectonic plates pull apart at about the same speed as human fingernails grow.

Dr Carolina Pagli from the University of Leeds' School of Earth and Environment, who led the study, says: "It was a complete surprise to see that a magma chamber could exist so close to the Earth's surface in an area where the tectonic plates move apart so slowly. The results have changed the way we think about volcanoes."

Dr Pagli also noticed that the ground started "uplifting" (elevating) four months before the eruption, due to new magma increasing pressure in one of the underground chambers. Understanding these precursory signals is fundamental to predicting eruptions.

A wider study of eruptions in Afar and Iceland, two vastly different environments, found remarkable similarities. Many events occurred within a short space of time. Researchers identified multiple magma chambers positioned horizontally and vertically, allowing magma to shoot in several directions. Moving magma triggered earthquakes, and separate magma chambers fed single eruptions.

The 2008 eruption is part of an unusual period of recent volcanic unrest in Ethiopia, and is enabling scientists to learn more about volcanoes at spreading centres. Most spreading centres are under 2 km of water at the bottom of the ocean, making detailed observations extremely challenging. The new knowledge derived from Ethiopian volcanoes will help scientists understand volcanoes in Iceland, where eruptions can have a bigger impact on the UK.

Dr Tim Wright from the School of Earth and Environment, who leads the international Afar Rift Consortium, said: "The dramatic events we have been witnessing in Afar in the past six years are transforming our understanding of how the crust grows when tectonic plates pull apart. Our work in one of the hottest place on Earth is having a direct impact on our understanding of eruptions from the frozen volcanoes of Iceland."
