Abyssal peridotites are ultramafic rocks collected from mid-ocean ridges that are the
residues of adiabatic decompression melting. Their compositions provide information on the …

We review physical and chemical constraints on the mechanisms of melt extraction from the
mantle beneath mid–ocean ridges. Compositional constraints from MORB and abyssal …

This textbook is a complete rewrite, and expansion of Hugh Rollinson's highly successful
1993 book Using Geochemical Data: Evaluation, Presentation, Interpretation. Rollinson and …

This hands-on introduction to numerical geodynamic modelling provides a solid grounding
in the necessary mathematical theory and techniques, including continuum mechanics and …

Scientific theories of how subduction and plate tectonics began on Earth—and what the
tectonic structure of Earth was before this—remain enigmatic and contentious …

Abstract Ocean Drilling Program Leg 125 recovered serpentinized harzburgites and dunites
from a total of five sites on the crests and flanks of two serpentinite seamounts, Conical …

More than 50 per cent of the Earth's upper mantle consists of olivine and it is generally
thought that mantle-derived melts are generated in equilibrium with this mineral. Here …

Sino-Korean Craton (SKC) in eastern China is an important natural laboratory for studying
temporal change to the lithosphere because there is the jutaxposition of Ordovician …

Petrographic and geochemical studies of peridotites from the South Sandwich forearc region
provide new evidence for the evolution of the South Sandwich arc–basin system and for the …

This paper presents the first comprehensive major and trace element data for∼ 130 abyssal
peridotite samples from the Pacific and Indian ocean ridge–transform systems. The data …
