Does depleted mantle form an intrinsic part of the Iceland plume? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Icelandic basalt ranges in composition from voluminous tholeiite, erupted in the rift zones, to small-volume, mildly alkaline basalt erupted off-axis.

Ta'u and Ofu/Olosega volcanoes: The “Twin Sisters” of Samoa, their P, T, X melting regime, and global implications

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2014
The Samoan islands of Ta'u and Ofu/Olosega (Ofol hereafter) are single shield volcanoes that have erupted alkali basalt for the past 70 and 440 kyr, respectively.

Sr-Nd-Pb-Hf isotope results from ODP Leg 187: Evidence for mantle dynamics of the Australian-Antarctic Discordance and origin of the Indian MORB source [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
New high precision PIMMS Hf and Pb isotope data for 14–28 Ma basalts recovered during ODP Leg 187 are compared with zero-age dredge samples from the Australian-Antarctic Discordance (AAD).

Multiple Sulfur Isotope Geochemistry of the Precambrian Mafic Dykes and Komatiites in the Dharwar Craton, Southern India: Evidence for Crustal Recycling and Enrichment in the Subcontinental Lithospheric Mantle

open access: yesLithosphere, 2022
Komatiites, greenstone volcanic rocks, and mafic dyke swarms are constituents of early earth magmatic activity, crucial for understanding the chemical evolution of the Archean mantle.

Channelized melt flow in downwelling mantle: Implications for 226Ra-210Pb disequilibria in arc magmas [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We present the results of an analytical model of porous flow of viscous melt into a steadily dilating ‘‘channel’’ (defined as a cluster of smaller veins) in downwelling subarc mantle.

The mantle isotopic printer: Basic mantle plume geochemistry for seismologists and geodynamicists [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
High-temperature geochemistry combined with igneous petrology is an essential tool to infer the conditions of magma generation and evolution in the Earth's interior. During the past thirty years, a large number of geochemical models of the Earth, essentially inferred from the isotopic composition of basaltic rocks, have been proposed. These geochemical

Estimates of the Temperature and Melting Conditions of the Carpathian‐Pannonian Upper Mantle From Volcanism and Seismology

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2020
What drives the formation of basaltic melts beneath intraplate volcanoes not associated with extensive thermal anomalies or lithospheric extension? Detailed constraints on the melting conditions and source region are imperative to resolve this question ...

Geochemistry and tectonic setting of the supracrustal rocks from the central part of the Bundelkhand craton, India

open access: yesJGEET: Journal of Geoscience, Engineering, Environment and Technology, 2019
Supracrustal rocks (mafics and ultramafics) occurs along with banded iron formation, and felsic volcanics around Babina, Dhaura, and Mauranipur linear east-west trends in central part of the Bundelkhand craton represent Archean crust.

Geochemistry of spinels from xenoliths of mantle lherzolites (sverre Volcano, spitsbergen Archipelago)

open access: yesЗаписки Горного института, 2017
The paper presents the results of a study (LA-ICP-MS method) of spinel from the collection of mantle xenoliths of lherzolites (seven xenoliths) selected in quaternary alkaline basalts of the Sverre volcano, the Spitsbergen archipelago.

A Role for Subducted Oceanic Crust in Generating the Depleted Mid‐Ocean Ridge Basalt Mantle

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2020
The composition of Earth's mantle, continental crust, and oceanic crust continuously evolve in response to the dynamic forces of plate tectonics and mantle convection.
