Terrestrial Analogs to Titan for Geophysical Research
Abstract Saturn's moon Titan exhibits remarkable parallels to the Earth in many geophysical and geological processes not found elsewhere in the solar system at the present day. These include a nitrogen atmosphere with a condensible gas—methane—replacing the Earth's water, leading to an active meteorology with rainfall and surface manifestations ...

Arc Heat Flow and Magmatic Heat Budgets
Abstract We evaluate hydrothermal heat loss from 11 volcanic‐arc segments (∼6,000 km of arc length, ∼10% of the global total), motivated by the observation that much magmatic heat ultimately crosses the land surface as heated aqueous fluid. Heat loss takes place by volcanic eruption, geothermal heat conduction to the surface, fumarolic (vapor ...

Abstract The closure of the Paleo‐Tethys Ocean was one of the most important global geological events which formed the framework of the East Asian continent during the early Mesozoic. The Longmu Co‐Shuanghu suture zone is considered to record closure of the main basin of the Paleo‐Tethys Ocean.

Secular Variation in the North American Kimberlite Formation: The Variable Connection to LLSVPs
Kimberlites are rare and perplexing igneous rocks that may represent the deepest‐sourced melt type extracted from within the Earth's mantle, and their origin may be associated with Large Low Shear Velocity Provinces (LLSVPs) along the core‐mantle ...

PROBLEMS OF NUMERICAL MODELING OF LARGE-SCALE MANTLE CONVECTION IN THE SUBDUCTION ZONE
The article provides a review of modern models of large-scale mantle convection in the zone of a heavy cold oceanic plate (slab) subduction into the upper mantle.

Abstract Reactive melt infiltration critically modifies the physical and chemical properties of the oceanic lithospheric mantle (OLM). This process, involving melt‐rock reactions and in situ crystallization, exhibits substantial spatial and temporal variability driven by melt volume and ascent velocity.
