The existence of mantle plumes was first proposed in the 1970s to explain intra-plate,
hotspot volcanism, yet owing to difficulties in resolving mantle upwellings with geophysical …

This work examines the global distribution of Archaean and modern igneous rock's
compositions, without relying on preconceptions about the link between rock compositions …

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

The continental crust is unique to the Earth in the solar system, and controversies remain
regarding its origin, accretion and reworking of continents. The plate tectonics theory has …

Basaltic volcanism'samples' the Earth's mantle to great depths, because solid-state
convection transports deep material into the (shallow) melting region. The isotopic and trace …

We derive an estimate for the chemical composition of the depleted MORB mantle (DMM),
the source reservoir to mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORBs), which represents at least 30% the …

Carbonate, the major carbon reservoir on Earth's surface, can enter into the mantle by
subduction. However, evidence for recycled surficial carbonates in the deep mantle is still …

Large igneous provinces (LIPs) are a continuum of voluminous iron and magnesium rich
rock emplacements which include continental flood basalts and associated intrusive rocks …

Following an Eocene continent-arc collision, the Western Anatolia region experienced a
complete cycle of thickening and orogenic collapse. The early stage of collision-related …

Abstract The 2021 eruption of La Palma (September 19-December 13) was the first
subaerial eruption in the Canary Islands in 50 years. Approximately 0.2 km 3 of lava erupted …
