Experimental clinopyroxenes synthesized at 850–1500° C and 0–60 kbar in the CMS and
CMAS-Cr systems and in more complex lherzolitic systems have been used to calibrate a Cr …

This substantially revised edition includes recently published information relating to plate
tectonics and continental origin. A large number of new figures have been added, and new …

The thermal thickness of Precambrian lithosphere is modeled and compared with estimates
from seismic tomography and xenolith data. We use the steady state thermal conductivity …

Abstract The Rustenburg Layered Suite (RLS) of the Bushveld Complex (BC) represents
Earth's oldest large igneous province (> 370 000 km 3), and contains the world's largest …

GLUTATHIONE S-transferases (GSTs) are enzymes that detoxify heterocyclic compounds
(xenobiotics) by covalently linking glutathione to the substrate, forming a glutathione S …

Earth as an Evolving Planetary System, Fourth Edition discusses key topics dealing with the
evolution and interaction through time of Earth's crust, mantle, core, atmosphere …

Unlike in the ocean basins where the shallow mantle eventually contributes to the
destruction of the overlying crust, the shallow mantle beneath continents serves as a stiff …
