Abstract Retreating accretionary systems are common features of convergent plate margins. They are characterized by upper plate extension and backarc basin formation, which often forms diachronously and asymmetrically along‐strike. This study tests the hypothesis that this along‐strike variability in backarc basin formation is reflected in detrital and

Abstract Vulcanian eruptions are classically associated with the launch of ballistic ejecta and particularly with the production of breadcrust bombs. Morpho‐textural analysis of these ejecta provides critical insight into the poorly constrained processes controlling the complex dynamics of Vulcanian activity.

Abstract Large Igneous Provinces emplacement drives mass extinctions through rapid carbon release, but the relative contributions of magmatic degassing versus thermogenic decarbonation remain debated. Here, we incorporate temperature‐dependent thermal parameters into models of contact metamorphism around intruding sills.

The Distinction Between Sn‐Mineralized and Sn‐Barren Granites in Sn Isotopes
Abstract Tin mineralization is commonly associated with highly evolved granites. However, not all highly evolved granitic rocks are mineralized with Sn. Comparative studies of Sn‐fertile and Sn‐barren granites can deepen our understanding of the key processes that lead to Sn enrichment in magmatic‐hydrothermal systems.

Petrology and geochemistry of gabbroic and ultrabasic rocks from eastern Rhum [PDF]
This work is concerned with the lower part of the Eastern Layered Series (LELS) of Rhum, and with the marginal relationships of the ultrabasic complex in eastern Rhum.

Investigating Layered Cratonic Lithosphere in the Fennoscandian Shield
Abstract Cold, thick, and chemically depleted lithosphere with high seismic velocity and low attenuation characterizes continental cratons. However, discrepancies between xenolith‐based thermal constraints and those inferred from surface‐wave seismic models, together with the widespread observation of mid‐lithosphere discontinuities, challenge the ...

Abstract Quantification of the timing and mechanisms of crustal thickening in Cordilleran orogenic hinterlands remains challenging. We address this in the Andes using whole‐rock geochemistry and zircon petrochronology from a >70 Myr volcanic record in the Tinguiririca valley of Chile (∼35° ${}^{\circ}$S), which captures a pivotal transition from ...

Implications of Thermal Weakening and Magma Compressibility for Volcano Monitoring
Abstract Magmatic intrusion and volcanic deformation are traditionally approximated with an inflating cavity in an elastic halfspace. Various analytical models predict surface displacement as a function of pressure or volume change, depth, and elastic crustal properties.
