Water-fluxed melting of the continental crust: A review
RF Weinberg, P Hasalová - Lithos, 2015 - Elsevier
Water-fluxed melting, also known as fluid-or water-present melting, is a fundamental process
in the differentiation of continents but its importance has been underestimated in the past 20 …

Microbial ecology of the dark ocean above, at, and below the seafloor
The majority of life on Earth—notably, microbial life—occurs in places that do not receive
sunlight, with the habitats of the oceans being the largest of these reservoirs. Sunlight …

Large igneous provinces and silicic large igneous provinces: Progress in our understanding over the last 25 years
Large igneous provinces are exceptional intraplate igneous events throughout Earth's
history. Their significance and potential global impact are related to the total volume of …

Episodic growth of the Gondwana supercontinent from hafnium and oxygen isotopes in zircon
It is thought that continental crust existed as early as 150 million years after planetary
accretion, but assessing the rates and processes of subsequent crustal growth requires …

Neoproterozoic amalgamation between Yangtze and Cathaysia blocks: The magmatism in various tectonic settings and continent-arc-continent collision
According to the temporal-spatial distribution of Neoproterozoic igneous rocks and relative
rocks in South China, including ophiolites, arc volcanic and intrusive rocks and subsequent …

The volcanic–plutonic connection as a stage for understanding crustal magmatism
The Earth's magmatism produces both volcanic and plutonic rocks. These two rock types
share many similarities, but also display significant differences that have led to a tendency to …

Post-caldera volcanism reveals shallow priming of an intra-ocean arc andesitic caldera: Hunga volcano, Tonga, SW Pacific
Intra-oceanic arcs are typically associated with intermediate (andesitic) cone volcanoes.
However, caldera volcanoes may also form in these settings from very large eruptions …
