The magmatic architecture of continental flood basalts I : Observations from the Deccan Traps
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2021 Abstract Flood basalts are some of the largest magmatic events in Earth history, with intrusion and eruption of millions of km 3 of basaltic magma over a short time period (∼1–5 Ma).

Contrasting stress fields on correlating margins of the South Atlantic [PDF]
, 2015 The “passiveness” of passive continental margins across the globe is currently under debate since several studies have shown that these margins may experience a variety of stress states and undergo significant vertical movement post-breakup.

Oxygen Isotope Variations of Basaltic Lavas and Upper Mantle Rocks [PDF]
, 2001 This chapter summarizes the oxygen isotope geochemistry of terrestrial basalts and their mantle sources, including the conceptual framework for interpreting such data and the phenomenology of known variations.

Geochemistry, Geophysics, GeosystemsLavas erupted in Continental Flood Basalt (CFB) provinces are not primary magmas; they are differentiated products that result from large volumes of melt migrating and stalling in the lithosphere prior to eruption, resulting in complex liquid lines of ...

Trace element and isotope constraints on crustal anatexis by upwelling mantle melts in the North Atlantic Igneous Province: an example form the Isle of Rum, NW Scotland [PDF]
, 2009 Sr and Nd isotope ratios, together with lithophile trace elements, have been measured in a representative set of igneous rocks and Lewisian gneisses from the Isle of Rum in order to unravel the petrogenesis of the felsic rocks that erupted in the early ...
