Giant Porphyry Copper Deposits Caused by a Slab Jamming in the Mantle Transition Zone

open access: yesTerra Nova, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Two giant porphyry copper deposits in the Southern Central Andes formed during the Miocene–Pliocene transition when a bend in the subducting Juan de Fernández hotspot chain jammed in the mantle transition zone, causing mega‐scale slab‐kinking. This geometry implies mechanical resistance that caused East–West compression and eventually a thrust‐

Evaluation of Caldera Hosted Geothermal Potential during Volcanism and Magmatism in Subduction System, NE Japan

open access: yesGeofluids, 2019
Deep-seated geothermal reservoirs beneath calderas have high potential as sources of renewable energy. In this study, we used an analysis of melt inclusions to estimate the amount of water input to the upper crust and quantify the properties of a deep ...

Timescales of Magma Mixing Beneath the Iheya Ridge, Okinawa Trough: Implications for the Stability of Sub-Seafloor Magmatic Systems

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
Submarine volcanic eruptions can be destructive for marine environments and resources. Magma mixing is considered to be an important trigger for volcanic eruptions.

Feeding of a magma chamber by an ascending magma bubble

open access: yesGeophysical Journal International, 2021
SUMMARY There is evidence that magma chambers are not fed by a continuous flow, but in the form of discrete magma batches. The possibility is considered that the chamber is fed by a magma bubble ascending through the region underneath, driven by buoyancy force.

Deep magmatic processes of mafic layered intrusions in the Lala mining area, western Sichuan

open access: yesDizhi lixue xuebao
Objective  Previous studies have shown that many layered intrusions are formed by multiple pulsations of magma. However, little research has been done on whether the magma involved in the pulsation process comes from a single magma chamber or multiple ...

Volcano-tectonic interactions as triggers of volcanic eruptions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Surface displacements and edifice deformations at active volcanoes can occur when magma reservoirs begin to inflate as new magma enters them. Volcanoes are also subjected to a variety of external lithospheric stresses that are thought to be responsible ...

Sound Velocities of FeO‐Bearing Ringwoodite and Majorite: Implication for Martian Mantle Seismic Profiles

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract Compressional and shear wave velocities (Vp, Vs) of candidate Martian deep‐mantle minerals, FeO‐rich ringwoodite ((Mg0.66Fe0.34)2SiO4) and majorite (Mg0.75Fe0.10Al0.26Ca0.07Si0.84O3), were measured up to 25 GPa and 700 K using Brillouin light scattering coupled with externally‐heated diamond anvil cells.

Petrological characteristics and volatile content of magma of the 1979, 1989, and 2014 eruptions of Nakadake, Aso volcano, Japan

open access: yesEarth, Planets and Space, 2018
Petrological observations and chemical analyses of melt inclusions in scoria were used to investigate the magma ascent and eruption processes of the 1979, 1989, and 2014 eruptions of Nakadake, Aso volcano, Japan. Major elements and sulfur contents of the
