Explosive Volcanism in a tuff-dominated Intraplate Setting, Sarmiento Formation (Middle Eocene- lower Miocene), Patagonia Argentina

open access: yesLatin American Journal of Sedimentology and Basin Analysis, 2021
The Sarmiento Formation (middle Eocene to early Miocene) represents the distal record of the activity of the Andean volcanic arc in central Patagonia, mainly dominated by accumulation and reworking of fine ash in a low-gradient continental setting ...

Isotope-geochemical heterogeneity of pliocene-quaternary volcanics from kamchatka and the asthenospheric diapirism problem

open access: yesВестник Камчатской региональной ассоциации "Учебно-научный центр". Серия: Науки о Земле, 2020
Isotope-geochemical material for Pliocene-Quaternary volcanoes of the Kamchatka region is generalized on a cartographic basis. The Sr-isotope anomalies of moderate and elevated radiogenicity, geochemically confirmed, are spatially conjugated.

Dating volcanic materials through biochronostratigraphic methods applied to hosting strata (example from the Iberian Chain, eastern Spain)

open access: yesComptes Rendus. Géoscience, 2023
Volcaniclastic accumulations in shallow marine environments are prone to be eroded and transported by sedimentary agents and then resedimented either on contemporaneous or younger substrates. Therefore, dating of the volcanic events through the sediments

The role of edge-driven convection in the generation of volcanism – Part 1: A 2D systematic study [PDF]

open access: yesSolid Earth, 2021
The origin of intraplate volcanism is not explained by plate tectonic theory, and several models have been put forward for explanation. One of these models involves edge-driven convection (EDC), in which cold and thick continental lithosphere is ...

Correlated Changes Between Volcanic Structures and Magma Composition in the Faial Volcanic System, Azores

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2018
The interaction between magmatic and tectonic processes in ocean intraplate volcanism yields insights into the ascent and transport of magmas. Many oceanic intraplate studies lack a temporal component and do not consider changes in tectonic regime and/or

Cenozoic Uplift and Volcanism of Hangai Dome, Central Mongolia Triggered by Lower Mantle Upwellings

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2023
The mechanisms of surface uplift of Hangai Dome (>2 km) and formation of Cenozoic intraplate volcanism in central Mongolia remain vigorously debated.

On the origin of recent intraplate volcanism in Australia

open access: yesGeology, 2014
Many intraplate volcanic provinces do not appear to originate from plate-boundary processes or upwelling mantle plumes. Edge-driven convection (EDC), where a small-scale convective instability (induced by local variations in lithospheric thickness) displaces hot mantle material upward, provides an alternative hypothesis for such volcanism.

A subduction and mantle plume origin for Samoan volcanism

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2018
The origin of Samoan volcanism in the southwest Pacific remains enigmatic. Whether mantle melting is solely caused by a mantle plume is questionable because some volcanism, here referred to as non-hotspot volcanism, defies the plume model and its linear ...

Mantle and Crustal Xenoliths in a Tephriphonolite From La Palma (Canary Islands): Implications for Phonolite Formation at Oceanic Island Volcanoes

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2022
The occurrence of mantle-derived peridotite xenoliths in phonolitic melts is a rare phenomenon, and is commonly ascribed to a mantle origin of the phonolite.

Late Cenozoic intraplate volcanism as a trigger for hydrothermal venting in the Arctic southwestern Eurasia Basin

open access: yesCommunications Earth & Environment
Intraplate volcanism has occurred for the last 35 million years within Northeast Atlantic and Arctic margins, including the western Barents Sea, Svalbard, and northern Greenland. Earlier studies have suggested that some of this volcanism might be sourced
