Abstract Low‐velocity layers (LVLs) above the 410‐km discontinuity are commonly attributed to partial melt generated by dehydration melting when hydrous mantle transition‐zone material rises into the upper mantle, where water solubility in nominally anhydrous minerals decreases.

Global Cooling Driving the Increase in Erosion Rates Across the Himalaya Since the Quaternary
Abstract Late Cenozoic global cooling is well documented, yet its impact on erosion rates in active mountain belts, particularly after the onset of Quaternary glaciation, remain contentious. This ambiguity partially stems from the potential methodological biases in erosion rate quantification, particularly in the Himalaya, where recent studies report ...

Abstract The accretion of allochthonous provinces, derived from oceanic plates, has traditionally been considered an important contributor to continental growth. However, increasing evidence shows that some oceanic terranes (e.g., island arcs) are not “exotic,” as suggested by the presence of continental‐derived sedimentary provenance.

Cerium isotope systematics of oceanic carbonatites
International audienceOceanic carbonatites have been reported only at the Cape Verde and Canary archipelagos, North Atlantic Ocean. Geochemical studies based on stable, radiogenic and noble gas isotopes have led to the general consensus that their ...

Petrogenesis of Carbonatites in the Alnö Complex, Central Sweden
The Alnö Complex is a Late Precambrian alkaline and carbonatite intrusion (c. 30km2) into Early Proterozoic country rock that extends from the north east, to the north western shoulder of Alnö Island.

Carbonatites and associated nephelinites from Sao Vicente, Cape Verde Islands [PDF]
The island of Sao Vicente has the most abundant carbonatite outcrops in the Cape Verde Islands. A field survey of the main outcrops has shown that they consist of extrusive carbonatites, carbonatite dykes and small apophyses of intrusive carbonatite ...

Carbon- and oxygen-isotope variations in Indian carbonatites
Carbon- and oxygen-isotope data are presented for several Indian carbonatites. These carbonatites are classified, based on mineralogy and petrography, as: Ambadungar (holocrystalline sövite and alvikite, with porphyritic calcite carbonatite, brecciated ...
