Pressure‐Induced sp 2 ‐sp 3 Transitions in Carbon‐Bearing Phases

open access: yesGeophysical Monograph Series, Page 1-9., 2020

This book is Open Access. A digital copy can be downloaded for free from Wiley Online Library.

Explores the behavior of carbon in minerals, melts, and fluids under extreme conditions

Carbon trapped in diamonds and carbonate-bearing rocks in subduction zones are examples of the continuing exchange of substantial carbon ...

The Osmium Isotope Signature of Phanerozoic Large Igneous Provinces

open access: yesGeophysical Monograph Series, Page 229-246., 2021

Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact

An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Extreme Heterogeneity in Mid‐Ocean Ridge Mantle Revealed in Lavas From the 8°20′N Near‐Axis Seamount Chain

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021
Lavas that have erupted at near‐axis seamounts provide windows into mid‐ocean ridge mantle heterogeneity and melting systematics which are not easily observed on‐axis at fast‐spreading centers.

Highly siderophile element and osmium isotope systematics of basaltic volcanics: A different approach to petrological processes

open access: yesBulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration, 2022
The highly siderophile element (HSE) or platinum group element (PGE) and Os isotope systematics of basaltic volcanics have recently received a significant attention because of their potential to constrain the petrological processes on magma generation ...

Configurational entropy of basaltic melts in Earth’s mantle [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2020
Significance Proper inference of the seismological and chemical effects of partial melting in Earth’s upper mantle depends on physical properties of interstitial melts at elevated pressure. Silicate liquids display anomalous softening upon compression.

Melting and defect transitions in FeO up to pressures of Earth’s core-mantle boundary

open access: yesNature 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 ...

Fossilized Melts in Mantle Wedge Peridotites [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2018
AbstractThe shallow oxidized asthenosphere may contain a small fraction of potassic silicate melts that are enriched in incompatible trace elements and volatiles. Here, to determine the chemical composition of such melt, we analysed fossilized melt inclusions, preserved as multiphase solid inclusions, from an orogenic garnet peridotite in the Bohemian ...

Quartz-bearing rhyolitic melts in the Earth’s mantle

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
AbstractThe occurrence of rhyolite melts in the mantle has been predicted by high pressure-high temperature experiments but never observed in nature. Here we report natural quartz-bearing rhyolitic melt inclusions and interstitial glass within peridotite xenoliths.

Mantle Melting and Intraplate Volcanism Due to Self‐Buoyant Hydrous Upwellings From the Stagnant Slab That Are Conveyed by Small‐Scale Convection

open access: yesGeochemistry Geophysics Geosystems, 2019
The mechanisms sustaining basaltic continental intraplate volcanism remain controversial. Continental intraplate volcanism is often geographically associated with slab stagnation in the mantle transition zone (MTZ), for example, in eastern Asia, central ...
