Ubiquitous heterogeneity in the Earth's mantle has been documented by numerous
chemical and isotopic analyses of oceanic basalts. Despite the ever-increasing amount of …

During the Cenozoic widespread anorogenic magmatism, unrelated to recent supra-
subduction zone modification of its mantle source, developed within the Mediterranean and …

The end of major orogenic episodes is marked by uplift and erosion, transcurrent to
extensional tectonic regimes induced partly by gravitational collapse of the thickened crust …

The western Mediterranean subduction zone (WMSZ) extends from the northern Apennine
to southern Spain and turns around forming the narrow and tight Calabrian and Gibraltar …

Italian Plio-Quaternary magmatism exhibits a very wide petrological, geochemical and
radiogenic-isotope variability, which makes magma genesis and geodynamic significance …

The central-western Mediterranean area is a key region for understanding the complex
interaction between igneous activity and tectonics. In this review, the specific geochemical …

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 …

The Earth's lithosphere can focus basaltic magmatism along pre-existing weakness zones or
discontinuities. However, apart from the influence on the geochemistry of magmas emplaced …

We explore Fe/Mn and Nb/Ta ratios of basalts as potential tracers for differentiating melts of
recycled mafic crustal lithologies from peridotitic melts. Trace elements and Fe/Mn ratios of …

The basaltic basement of the large igneous province formed by the Kerguelen Plateau and
Broken Ridge in the southeastern Indian Ocean has been sampled by three Ocean Drilling …
