Extremely voluminous magmatic systems known as large igneous provinces (LIPs)
punctuate Earth's history, and the gases they release plausibly link large-scale geodynamic …

The breakup of Laurasia to form the Northeast Atlantic Realm disintegrated an
inhomogeneous collage of cratons sutured by cross-cutting orogens. Volcanic rifted margins …

Young (61 Ma) unaltered picrites from Baffin Island, northeast Canada, possess some of the
highest 3 He/4 He (up to 50 Ra) seen on Earth, and provide a unique opportunity to study …

The geochemistry of global mantle melts suggests that both mid-ocean ridge basalts
(MORB) and ocean island basalts (OIB) sample lithological and temperature heterogeneities …

Lithological heterogeneity is a widely accepted feature of the Earth's mantle, with recycled
crustal material accounting for a significant part of heterogeneity in ocean island basalt (OIB) …

In the classical concept, a hotspot track is a line of volcanics formed as a plate moves over a
stationary mantle plume. Defying this concept, intraplate volcanism in Greenland and the …

New crystallization temperatures for four eruptions from the Northern Volcanic Zone of
Iceland are determined using olivine‐spinel aluminum exchange thermometry. Differences …

Basalts and komatiites in the∼ 1880 Ma Paleoproterozoic Circum-Superior Large Igneous
Province are associated in space and time with the closure/subduction of the Manikewan …

Large igneous provinces and some hotspot volcanoes are thought to form above
thermochemical anomalies known as mantle plumes. Petrologic investigations that support …

Testing the hypothesis that the Hainan mantle plume triggered the opening of the South
China Sea (SCS) and interacted with the spreading ridge is important for the purpose of …
