A numerical mass balance calculation model for the adiabatic melting of a dry to hydrous peridotite has been programmed in order to simulate the trace element compositions of basalts from mid‐ocean ridges, back‐arc basins, ocean islands, and large ...

The architecture and tectono-magmatic evolution of the lithosphere of Europe are the result of a succession of subduction, rifting and inputs from plumes that have modified the lithospheric mantle since the Neoproterozoic (750–500 Ma).

Mantle heterogeneity during the formation of the North Atlantic Igneous Province: Constraints from trace element and Sr-Nd-Os-O isotope systematics of Baffin Island picrites [PDF]
Sr-Nd-Os-O isotope and major and trace element data from ~62 Ma picrites from Baffin Island constrain the composition of mantle sources sampled at the inception of North Atlantic Igneous Province (NAIP) magmatism.

Cenozoic plate driving forces [PDF]
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

Melting of CaSiO3 Perovskite at High Pressure
Ab initio molecular dynamics simulations predict that CaSiO3 perovskite melts at 5600 K at 136 GPa, and 6400 K at 300 GPa, significantly higher than MgSiO3 perovskite. The entropy of melting (1.8 kB per atom) is much larger than that of many silicates at

Biomineralization is a widespread phenomenon in marine mollusks and is responsible for the production of shells and pearls. However, the regulatory mechanisms governing the adaptive immune responses in the mollusk mantle and visceral mass during ...

Large Igneous Provinces, and by extension the mantle plumes that generate them, are frequently associated with platinum-group element (PGE) ore deposits, yet the processes controlling the metal budget in plume-derived magmas remains debated.

Extremely high He isotope ratios in MORB-source mantle from the proto-Iceland plume [PDF]
The high <sup>3</sup>He/<sup>4</sup>He ratio of volcanic rocks thought to be derived from mantle plumes is taken as evidence for the existence of a mantle reservoir that has remained largely undegassed since the Earth's accretion.

Illumina-based transcriptome sequencing of mussel Mytilus coruscus mantle
Mollusk shell is an exoskeleton made up of organic mineral particles and its function is to protect the inner soft body from predators and environmental damage. Due to its superior mechanical properties, such as stiffness, fracture toughness, and tensile

The Cretaceous High Arctic Large Igneous Province (HALIP) in Canada involved extrusion of continental flood basalts (CFBs) at 130–120 Ma and 100‐95 Ma and emplacement of an extensive sill and dike network that intersected the Carboniferous to Paleogene ...
