Does depleted mantle form an intrinsic part of the Iceland plume? [PDF]
Icelandic basalt ranges in composition from voluminous tholeiite, erupted in the rift zones, to small-volume, mildly alkaline basalt erupted off-axis.

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]
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).

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

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 ...

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.

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
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.
