Hotspot swells revisited
The first attempts to quantify the width and height of hotspot swells were made more than 30
years ago. Since that time, topography, ocean-floor age, and sediment thickness datasets …

Chemical geodynamics insights from a machine learning approach
The radiogenic isotope heterogeneity of oceanic basalts is often assessed using 2D isotope
ratio diagrams. But because the underlying data are at least six dimensional (87Sr/86Sr …

Is the 'Azores hotspot'a wetspot? Insights from the geochemistry of fluid and melt inclusions in olivine of Pico basalts
The concept of an 'Azores mantle plume'has been widely debated, and the existence of an
Azores hotspot questioned. In an effort to shed new light on this controversy, we present He …
