Electrical Conductivity of Hydrous Ultramafic Melts With Implications for Origin of Low Velocity Layer Atop of the 410 km Seismic Discontinuity

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
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

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
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 ...

Emplacement of Hybrid Continental‐Oceanic Arc Terranes Without Collision: The Devonian Calliope Arc (New England Orogen, Australia)

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 45, Issue 7, July 2026.
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

open access: yes, 2013
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

open access: yes, 2013
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.

Ti-Nb Mineralization of Late Carbonatites and Role of Fluids in Its Formation: Petyayan-Vara Rare-Earth Carbonatites (Vuoriyarvi Massif, Russia)

open access: yesGeosciences, 2018
This article is devoted to the geology of titanium-rich varieties of the Petyayan-Vara rare-earth dolomitic carbonatites in Vuoriyarvi, Northwest Russia. Analogues of these varieties are present in many carbonatite complexes. The aim of this study was to

Carbonatites and associated nephelinites from Sao Vicente, Cape Verde Islands [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
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

open access: yes, 1996
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 ...
