Europium in plagioclase-hosted melt inclusions reveals mantle melting modulates oxygen fugacity [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsTo gain insights into the composition and heterogeneity of Earth’s interior, the partial pressure of oxygen (oxygen fugacity, or fO2) in igneous rocks is characterized. A surprising observation is that relative to reference buffers, fO2s of mantle melts (

pyMelt: An extensible Python engine for mantle melting calculations
Volcanica, 2022 Modelling the melting of Earth’s mantle is crucial for understanding the distribution of volcanic activity on Earth and for testing models of mantle convection and mantle lithological heterogeneity.

Petrographic and geochemical characteristics of olivine basalts from east of Nehbandan and Chahchocho (Sistan suture zone, eastern Iran) [PDF]
پترولوژی, 2020 Olivine basalts from east of Nehbandan and Chahchocho regions belong to sodic alkaline and transitional magma series. Compared to alkaline olivine basalts (AOB), the transitional olivine basalts (TOB) have higher MgO, SiO2, Ni, Cr, Ba, Th, Pb, and U, and

Oceanic Slab Melting and Mantle Metasomatism [PDF]
Science Progress, 2001 Modern plate tectonic brings down oceanic crust along subduction zones where it either dehydrates or melts. Those hydrous fluids or melts migrate into the overlying mantle wedge trigerring its melting which produces arc magmas and thus additional continental crust. Nowadays, melting seems to be restricted to cases of young (<50 Ma) subducted plates.

Melting and defect transitions in FeO up to pressures of Earth’s core-mantle boundary
Nature Communications, 2023 The high-pressure melting curve of FeO controls key aspects of Earth’s deep interior and the evolution of rocky planets more broadly. However, existing melting studies on wüstite were conducted across a limited pressure range and exhibit substantial ...

Investigation of Petrological Characteristics of The Upper Mantle in Hadji-Abad Ophiolitic Complex (South of Iran): Based on Mineral Chemistry [PDF]
Journal of Sciences, Islamic Republic of Iran, 2021 The mantle peridotites of the Hadji-Abad ultramafic complex in Hormozgan province, show some petrological evolutions of the upper mantle of southern Iran. The complex includes harzburgite, lherzolite, dunite and chromitite.
