Abstract The Armenian Highlands, a tectonically active segment of the Arabia‐Eurasia collision zone, exhibit widespread Quaternary volcanism, rapid uplift, and intense seismicity. However, the lithospheric processes driving these phenomena remain poorly understood.

The Age and Composition of the Voyager Seamounts: Evidence for a Long‐Lived Marquesas Mantle Source
Abstract We present new observations on the dynamics and locations of deep mantle reservoirs derived from the ages and compositions of Voyager Seamount Chain lava flows. The previously unexplored Voyager Seamount Chain trends NW–SE between the Mid‐Pacific Mountains and the Northwestern Hawaiian Ridge.

Crustal Structure Across the Okavango Rift, Botswana: The SEISORZ Wide‐Angle Seismic Experiment
Abstract The Okavango Rift Zone (ORZ) is an incipient continental rift in Botswana at the terminus of the Southwestern Branch of the East African Rift System. The lack of syn‐rift magmatism and tectonic processes overprinting pre‐rift structures provide an opportunity to investigate incipient‐stage rift processes and the role of pre‐existing structures

Deep Sources of Recent Volcanism in Armenia Inferred From Ambient Noise Tomography
Abstract We perform Rayleigh wave ambient noise tomography to investigate crustal seismic velocity structure and sources of volcanism in Armenia. Armenia, a key part of the tectonically and volcanically active Caucasus‐Anatolia region, is actively being deformed by the ongoing Arabian‐Eurasian continental collision.

Abstract We present elemental geochemistry and multiple isotopic systematics (Re‐Os, Lu‐Hf, Sm‐Nd and Sr) for mantle peridotite xenoliths from Lashaine in northern Tanzania. We use the data to examine how the major Proterozoic tectono‐thermal events that affected the crust of the western Tanzanian craton are imprinted on the lithospheric mantle in the ...

It is established that during all-Uralian stage of mantle-type magmatism of Early Devonian age (410-393 Ma) the mantle Ordovician-Silurian magmatism was changed by mantle-crustal and crustal types.

Abstract Intraplate volcanism has long been linked to deep mantle plumes. However, recent studies showed that intraplate magmatism can originate from transition zone dynamics, where lower‐mantle plumes might be ponding, creating a Thermal Boundary Layer (TBL).
