Oceanic hotspots with extreme enriched mantle radiogenic isotopic signatures—including
low 143Nd/144Nd indicative of subducted continental crust—are linked to plume conduits …

The lavas associated with mantle plumes may sample domains throughout Earth's mantle
and probe its dynamics. However, plume studies are often only able to take snapshots in …

The Earth's biggest magmatic events are believed to originate from massive melting when
hot mantle plumes rising from the lowermost mantle reach the base of the lithosphere …

A major goal in Earth Science has been to understand how geochemical characteristics of
lavas at the Earth's surface relate to the location and formation history of specific regions in …

The two large low shear-wave velocity provinces (LLSVPs) that dominate lower-mantle
structure may hold key information on Earth's thermal and chemical evolution. It is generally …

The spatial distribution of the geochemical domains hosting recycled crust and primordial
(high‐3He/4He) reservoirs, and how they are linked to mantle convection, are poorly …

Diamond, as the deepest sample available for study, provides a unique opportunity to
sample and examine parts of the Earth's mantle not directly accessible. In order to provide …

According to classical plume theory, purely thermal upwellings rise through the mantle, pond
in a thin layer beneath the lithosphere, and generate hotspot volcanism. Neglected by this …

The Earth was formed by the accretion of both differentiated and undifferentiated parent
bodies, and the large density difference between metallic and ionic components gave rise to …

The Earth's deep mantle seismic structure is dominated by two large low shear-wave
velocity provinces (LLSVPs) located beneath Africa and the Pacific. While the existence of …
