Key New Evidence for the Hainan Mantle Plume Head: Ongoing Formation of a Large Igneous Province?

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The process‐based surface magmatic expression of mantle plumes is typically a large igneous province (LIP) induced by the mantle plume head, followed by subsequent age‐progressive volcanic tracks resulting from plate drifting above the plume tail.

Hornblendite in the Lower Crust: A Possible Source for Porphyry Cu Deposits

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Lower crustal sulfide‐bearing Cu‐rich cumulates, mainly occurring as hornblendite, have been proposed as a critical source component for the development of giant porphyry Cu deposits (PCDs); however, their mineralogical and geochemical nature remain elusive.

A HIMU‐Like Endmember Hiding in the Turkana Depression Continental Lithospheric Mantle

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
The fate of continental lithosphere during rifting is central to the process of continental extension. The continental lithospheric mantle comprises both depleted and enriched domains that may contribute to magma generation during extension.

The Dynamics and Surface Signal of Slab Break‐Off in Continental Settings: Insights From 3D Numerical Modeling

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The fate of an oceanic plate that has been subducted over an extended period of time involves slab break‐off, which can occur either simultaneously across the entire slab or locally, creating a tear that propagates sub‐horizontally. These processes are thought to explain various geological observations, such as the evolution of foreland basins,

Water in Hawaiian peridotite minerals: A case for a dry metasomatized oceanic mantle lithosphere

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2015
The distribution of water concentrations in the oceanic upper mantle has drastic influence on its melting, rheology, and electrical and thermal conductivities and yet is primarily known indirectly from analyses of OIB and MORB.

Rayleigh Waves From OHANA OBSs in the Northeast Pacific Ocean Reveal Low Deep Shear Velocities and Pervasive Azimuthal Anisotropy

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The 2021–2023 OHANA ocean‐bottom seismometer deployment in the northeast Pacific Ocean provides a rich data set for seismic studies to explore the crust, lithosphere and asthenosphere in a 600 km wide region about 1,500 km northeast of Hawaii, west of the Moonless Mountains. The study area covers mainly 40‐to‐55 Myr‐old Pacific lithosphere.

East European sedimentary basins long heated by a fading mantle upwelling

Nature Communications
A strong negative anomaly of seismic wave velocities at the core-mantle boundary (the Perm Anomaly) beneath the East European platform is attributed to the remnant of a deep mantle upwelling.

Autocorrelation Seismic Imaging of Northern Taiwan Using Ambient Noise Data

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Over the past few million years, northern Taiwan records a tectonic history of subduction to arc–continent collision followed by post‐collisional collapse. This evolution motivates constraints on crustal structure, including crustal layering and thickness.

Neogene plate tectonic reconstructions and geodynamics of North Island sedimentary basins: Implications for the petroleum systems [PDF]

, 2006
Although the modern Australia-Pacific plate boundary through New Zealand is relatively straight, there have been significant changes in its geometry during the Neogene. Within the North Island sector there has been a fundamental transition from an Alpine

Quantitative Assessment of Peridotite Tectonomagmatic Affinities Using Compositional Data Analysis and Explainable Machine Learning

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Peridotites record the compositional evolution of the lithospheric and asthenospheric mantle across plume‐related lithospheres, convergent margins, and rift‐related volcanic environments; however, their tectonomagmatic affinities are commonly difficult to resolve using traditional low‐dimensional geochemical discrimination diagrams.
