Lithium isotope geochemical studies of oceanic-type eclogites benefited from previous investigation of altered oceanic crust; however, processes of lithium isotope exchange operating on altered protoliths of continental-type eclogites have remained ...

The central issues in petrology have remained remarkably unchanged in the last 50 years. In igneous petrology, the focus is on understanding the nature and cause of diversity in igneous rocks: on identifying primary magma types and constraints on the ...

Evidence for a reducing Archean ambient mantle and its effects on the carbon cycle [PDF]
Chemical reduction-oxidation mechanisms within mantle rocks link to the terrestrial carbon cycle by influencing the depth at which magmas can form, their composition, and ultimately the chemistry of gases released into the atmosphere.

101 geodynamic modelling: how to design, interpret, and communicate numerical studies of the solid Earth [PDF]
Geodynamic modelling provides a powerful tool to investigate processes in the Earth's crust, mantle, and core that are not directly observable. However, numerical models are inherently subject to the assumptions and simplifications on which they are ...

Crustal controls on apparent mantle pyroxenite signals in ocean-island basalts
Ocean-island basalts (OIBs) provide a unique insight into the extent of lithological heterogeneity (peridotite vs. pyroxenite) in Earth’s convecting mantle.

Carbonate alteration of ophiolitic rocks in the Arabian–Nubian Shield of Egypt: sources and compositions of the carbonating fluid and implications for the formation of Au deposits [PDF]
Ultramafic portions of ophiolitic fragments in the Arabian–Nubian Shield (ANS) show pervasive carbonate alteration forming various degrees of carbonated serpentinites and listvenitic rocks.

Remote sensing methods are a vital alternative for regional exploration surveys. Many ore deposits (e.g., epithermal, porphyry-related, volcanogenic massive sulphides, etc.) have distinct distribution patterns of alteration zones that can be used for ...
