Geodynamic Significance of Intraplate Basaltic Magmatism From the Western Mediterranean Region
Abstract Dynamic topography changes as mantle convection evolves, making its past surface expression difficult to reconstruct. Widespread Neogene‐Quaternary intraplate basaltic magmatism across the Western Mediterranean Region allows us to test whether dated basalts preserve the mantle thermal structure responsible for regional dynamic support.

Quantifying Natural Hydrogen‐Helium Sources and Dynamic Accumulation in Global Sedimentary Basins
Abstract Despite the scientific and economic importance of hydrogen and helium, their crustal budgets remain poorly quantified. This study systematically assesses the accumulation of natural hydrogen and helium in global sedimentary basins by integrating predictive models for both gases with H2/He ratios.

Basalt magma interaction with harzburgite and the formation of high-magnesium andesites [PDF]
The interaction of basalt melt with mantle harzburgite at low pressure might result in silica enrichment of the melt by assimilation of orthopyroxene.

Different techniques have been combined to determine the crystallography and the chemical composition of serpentinized harzburgite sampled in a drill core coming from the lower part of the New Caledonia ophiolite.

Relevance of the research. Permanently identified signs of plastic flow in ultramafic rocks predetermined an approach to their study as metamorphic rocks. This approach uses non-traditional method of the petrofabric analysis.

Abstract The soles of ophiolites preserve slices of oceanic crust metamorphosed to amphibolite‐ to granulite‐facies conditions beneath heavily deformed mantle peridotites, providing key records of fluid and mass transfer across nascent subduction interfaces.

The southern part of the Bundelkhand cratoncontains a series of a E-W trending mafic and ultramaficrocks, about 40 km in length and 2–4 km wide, that occuras intrusions within the Bundelkhand Gneissic Complex(BnGC). They are confined between the Madawara-

Lithosphere tearing along STEP faults and synkinematic formation of lherzolite and wehrlite in the shallow subcontinental mantle [PDF]
Subduction-transform edge propagator (STEP) faults are the locus of continual lithospheric tearing at slab edges, resulting in sharp changes in the lithospheric and crustal thickness and triggering lateral and/or near-vertical mantle flow.

In this paper, we report an occurrence of ultramafic pseudotachylytes, providing fault-rock evidence of paleo-earthquakes, from the Luobusha ophiolite complex in the Yarlung Zangbo suture zone.
