Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 1-26., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Research progress of mantle plume
地震科学进展, 2021 Since the mantle plume hypothesis was proposed，it has been controversial in academia，and there is no unified answer to its existence. In this paper，the origin of the mantle plume is elaborated in detail.

Olivine-rich achondrites from Vesta and the missing mantle problem
Nature Communications, 2021 Ultramafic olivine-rich achondrites provide insight into the missing mantle problem in the asteroid belt. The petrology and geochemistry of these samples suggests they are related to Vesta or the Vestoids.

Thermoelastic Properties of Liquid Fe‐Rich Alloys Under Martian Core Conditions
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Seismic measurements made on Mars indicate that the liquid iron‐nickel core is rich in light elements; however, the effects of these light components on the elasticity of Mars’ core remain poorly constrained.

Geochemistry of Kauai shield-stage lavas: Implications for the chemical evolution of the Hawaiian plume [PDF]
, 2003 We measured He, Sr, Nd, Pb, and Os isotope ratios and major and trace element concentrations in stratigraphically and paleomagnetically controlled shield-stage lavas from Kauai, Hawaii. The range of 3He/4He ratios (17–28 RA) from Kauai is similar to that

Deep lithospheric dynamics beneath the Sierra Nevada during the Mesozoic and Cenozoic as inferred from xenolith petrology [PDF]
, 2001 Peridotite xenoliths erupted in late Miocene basalts (~8 Ma) in the central Sierra Nevada sample a lithosphere that is vertically stratified in terms of age and thermal history.

Cretaceous-to-recent record of elevated 3He/4He along the Hawaiian-Emperor volcanic chain [PDF]
, 2004 Helium isotopes are a robust geochemical tracer of a primordial mantle component in hot spot volcanism. The high 3He/4He (up to 35 RA, where RA is the atmospheric 3He/4He ratio of 1.39 × 10−6) of some Hawaiian Island volcanism is perhaps the classic ...
