Rejuvenation of the lithosphere by the Hawaiian plume [PDF]
Nature, 2004 The volcanism responsible for creating the chain of the Hawaiian islands and seamounts is believed to mark the passage of the oceanic lithosphere over a mantle plume. In this picture hot material rises from great depth within a fixed narrow conduit to the surface, penetrating the moving lithosphere.

Garnet pyroxenites explain high electrical conductivity in the East African deep lithosphere [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 A large contrast in electrical conductivity has been observed within the lithospheric mantle between the Tanzanian craton and the Mozambique belt at depths > 70 km. Such contrasts are typically attributed to changes in volatiles and/or melt content, with changes in mineralogy deemed insufficient to impact conductivity.

Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1984 What is the lithosphere? What things subduct, what things do not, and why? How is the lower continental crust formed? Where are the large‐ion lithophile elements stored? Is the style of plate tectonics episodic? These and related questions were considered during a workshop held at the University of Texas at Austin in March 1982 under the sponsorship of

The Depositional Record, EarlyView.A classical peripheral foreland basin is bounded longitudinally by a pair of marginal ocean basins (DeCelles & Giles, 1996). The WTFB sediments transfer to adjacent marginal ocean basins. The western Taiwan foreland basin (WTFB) is regarded as a classical peripheral foreland basin, longitudinally bounded by the southern Okinawa Trough (SOT) to the ...

Ambient noise surface wave tomography of marginal seas in east Asia
Earth and Planetary Physics, 2017 We conducted ambient noise tomography in east Asia, including the Chinese coastal provinces, Korea Peninsular, Japan, Taiwan Island, and marginal seas in between.

Cenozoic plate driving forces [PDF]
, 1995 Past studies of plate driving forces have concluded that the forces due to subducted slabs in the upper mantle and those due to the thickening of the oceanic lithosphere are the principal driving forces. We reexamine the balance of driving forces for the

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.We systematically compared and assessed the commonly used methods for studying live soil microbes, including alkaline buffer washing, propidium monoazide (PMA) treatment, DNase pre‐digestion, and rRNA‐based analysis, based on soils collected across the western region of China.

Boninite and Harzburgite from Leg 125 (Bonin-Mariana Forearc): A Case Study of Magma Genesis during the Initial Stages of Subduction [PDF]
, 1992 Holes drilled into the volcanic and ultrabasic basement of the Izu-Ogasawara and Mariana forearc terranes during Leg 125 provide data on some of the earliest lithosphere created after the start of Eocene subduction in the Western Pacific.
