Abstract The East Kunlun Orogen (EKO) on the northern margin of the Tibetan Plateau experienced complex Late Paleozoic–Early Mesozoic tectono‐magmatic activities associated with the subduction and closure of the Paleo‐Tethys Ocean. Controversies remain regarding the timing and processes of the transition from subduction to collision and post‐collision,

Oxygen Fugacity Buffers and an Interactive Calculator
Abstract Oxygen fugacity buffers are equilibrium phase assemblages that constrain the chemical potential of oxygen. They may be coexisting minerals or fluids, or their metastable extrapolations. Oxygen fugacity values vary as a function of pressure and temperature, such that raw numbers often have little interpretive value.

Abstract Despite its importance in modeling the interior dynamics of a planet, our understanding of interior rheology remains incomplete because of several reasons, including insufficient experimental data and inadequate analysis of the available data.

Highly Enriched and Heterogeneous Mantle Signals Recorded in Mantle Pyroxenite Veins
Abstract The Earth's mantle is inherently heterogeneous, reflecting ongoing mantle depletion and crustal recycling driven by plate tectonics. Radiogenic isotopes in oceanic basalts are commonly used to characterize mantle reservoirs, but the full chemical diversity of mantle‐derived melts may be obscured by magma mixing during melt transport and ...

A Graphical User Interface Application to Model Open‐System Melting in the Upper Mantle
Abstract The mantle partial melting process is crucial for the physicochemical evolution of the Earth's upper mantle and the generation of mafic crust. The open‐system melting model incorporates continuous melt segregation, interaction with melts or fluids, and crystallization of trapped melt and therefore provides a comprehensive model for simulating ...

Evolution in Fluid Composition During Subduction
Abstract Fluid‐rock reactions play important roles in seismicity, arc‐magma chemistries, and volatile cycling at convergent plate boundaries. In subduction environments, metamorphic reactions involving hydrous fluids facilitate metasomatic alteration and mass transport.

Abstract Amphibole compositions record high‐pressure‐temperature (P‐T) hydration processes during magmatism and metamorphism in the deep Earth. However, amphibole thermobarometers calibrated for basic–ultrabasic systems are scarce. To address this issue, we compiled Ca‐amphibole data from published equilibrium experiments and used machine‐learning ...

Mantle flow, melting, and dehydration of the Iceland mantle plume
Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 1999Abstract Recent studies have shown that the extraction of water from the mantle due to partial melting beneath mid-ocean ridges may increase the viscosity of the residuum by 2–3 orders of magnitude. We examine this rheological effect on mantle flow and melting of a ridge-centered mantle plume using three-dimensional numerical models. Results indicate

Earth’s Mantle Melting and Volcanism
2014Convection currents inside the Earth’s asthenosphere will cause instability at shallow depths in the mantle. Rising material and subsequent decompression melting will form hot, upwelling mantle plumes or diapirs. This phenomenon is more common on slow spreading ridges (total rate 5 cm/yrs) spreading ridge segments with their extensive fissural ...
