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 …

Noble gas isotope geochemistry of mid-ocean ridge and ocean island basalts: Characterization of mantle source reservoirs

DW Graham - Reviews in mineralogy and geochemistry, 2002 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
The study of noble gases in oceanic basalts is central to understanding chemical
heterogeneity of the Earth's mantle and origin of the atmosphere. In the terrestrial …

Earth's evolving geodynamic regime recorded by titanium isotopes

Z Deng, M Schiller, MG Jackson, MA Millet, L Pan… - Nature, 2023 - nature.com
Earth's mantle has a two-layered structure, with the upper and lower mantle domains

Mantle plumes and entrainment: isotopic evidence

SR Hart, EH Hauri, LA Oschmann, JA Whitehead - Science, 1992 - science.org
Many oceanic island basalts show sublinear subparallel arrays in Sr-Nd-Pb isotopic space.
The depleted upper mantle is rarely a mixing end-member of these arrays, as would be …

Identification of source lithology in the Hawaiian and Canary Islands: Implications for origins

C Herzberg - Journal of Petrology, 2011 - academic.oup.com

using whole-rock and olivine phenocryst compositions. This analysis includes modern mid …

Fluid inclusions in fibrous diamonds

Y Weiss, J Czas, O Navon - Reviews in Mineralogy and …, 2022 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
Most diamonds are metasomatic minerals, which means they grew from fluids or melts that
moved through solid mantle rocks and chemically interacted with them. The involvement of …

Highest terrestrial 3He/4He credibly from the core
