Initially, it may seem extremely daunting to be sitting in front of several thousand carats of
small diamonds, knowing that the likelihood of finding a diamond with a meaningful …

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

Crustal recycling at convergent plate boundaries is essential to mantle heterogeneity.
However, crustal signatures in the mantle source of basaltic rocks above subduction zones …

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

Recent Icelandic rifting events have illuminated the roles of centralized crustal magma
reservoirs and lateral magma transport,,–, important characteristics of mid-ocean ridge …

Earth's mantle has a two-layered structure, with the upper and lower mantle domains
separated by a seismic discontinuity at about 660 km (refs.,). The extent of mass transfer …

Abyssal peridotites are ultramafic rocks collected from mid-ocean ridges that are the
residues of adiabatic decompression melting. Their compositions provide information on the …

We demonstrate that the deep volatile storage capacity of magma oceans has significant
implications for the bulk composition, interior, and climate state inferred from exoplanet mass …

The rare earth elements (REEs) are all around us, not only in nature but in our everyday
lives. They are in every car, computer, smartphone, energy-efficient fluorescent lamp, and …

Continental crust is the archive of Earth history. The spatial and temporal distribution of
Earth's record of rock units and events is heterogeneous; for example, ages of igneous …
