As volatile and variably mobile components, halogens play key roles in magmatic,
metasomatic, mineralizing, and volcanic processes by influencing the physical and chemical …

Melt inclusion data from primitive arc basalts from Mexico and Kamchatka show clear
positive correlations of “fluid mobile element”/H2O ratios with the Cl/H2O ratio, suggesting …

The compositions of back-arc basin basalts (BABB) can usefully be viewed as products of
four factors:(1) the composition of inflowing mantle and its preconditioning during flow to the …

The Mariana, east Scotia, Lau, and Manus back-arc basins (BABs) have spreading rates that
vary from slow (< 50 mm/yr) to fast (> 100 mm/yr) and extension axes located from 10 to 400 …

Miyashiro (1973) famously initiated a debate on the tectonic setting of ophiolite complexes
by proposing that 'the Troodos ophiolitic complex was probably formed in an island arc'. This …

Determining the age and petrogenesis of the voluminous Mesozoic magmatic rocks from the
North China Craton (NCC) provides critical data for deducing the process and timing of …

Subduction zone magmas are characterized by high concentrations of H2O, presumably
derived from the subducted plate and ultimately responsible for melting at this tectonic …

Potassic volcanism in the western Sichuan and Yunnan Provinces, SE Tibet, forms part of an
extensive magmatic province in the eastern Indo-Asian collision zone during the Paleogene …

The ca. 3.12 Ga Whundo Group forms an exotic terrane on the western margin of the old (≥
