Carbon plays important roles in the evolution of the atmosphere and biosphere, and geochemical differentiation in Earth's interior. Most subducted C is recycled to the deep mantle and returns to the surface by degassing from erupted basalts and ...

Magma Evolution and Mantle Metasomatism: Constraints on Olivine Composition in Potassic-Ultrapotassic Mafic Rocks from Lar Igneous Suite, SE of Iran [PDF]
The Lar igneous suite (LIS), in southeastern Iran, is part of post collisional alkaline magmatism in Sistan suture zone. Shonkinite and kersantite are the only two high-Mg, K-rich olivine bearing rocks in the LIS. We study major and some compatible trace

Tertiary-Quaternary subduction processes and related magmatism in the Alpine-Mediterranean region [PDF]
During Tertiary to Quaternary times, convergence between Eurasia and Africa resulted in a variety of collisional orogens and different styles of subduction in the Alpine-Mediterranean region.

Gold, platinum and palladium enrichments in arcs: role of mantle wedge, arc crust and halogen-rich slab fluids [PDF]
Arc-related magmas are frequently enriched in Au, Pt and Pd in respect to MORB and OIB igneous suites. Magmatic arcs commonly host large-scale hydrothermal Au and Au-Cu and PGE mineralization related to young volcanic systems and zoned ultramafic ...

Patched removal of the mantle lithosphere under orogens: A systematic numerical study
Delamination or convective thinning could cause large-scale and complete removal of the mantle lithosphere under orogens. However, geological and geophysical observations suggest that patched removal of the mantle lithosphere has occurred in some orogens,

Petrogenetic processes in the ultramafic, alkaline and carbonatitic magmatism in the Kola Alkaline Province: a review [PDF]
Igneous rocks of the Devonian Kola Alkaline Carbonatite Province (KACP) in NW Russia and eastern Finland can be classified into four groups: (a) primitive mantle-derived silica-undersaturated silicate magmas; (b) evolved alkaline and nepheline syenites; (

Petrogenesis and Sr-Nd isotope Geochemistry of Neogene Igneous Rocks in the Goloumak Area, South of Kerman, Iran [PDF]
The study area is near Goloumak village, 30 km south of Kerman. These rock units consist of acidic rhyolite and dacite, as well as intermediate andesite, basalt, and trachy-andesite.

Carbonatite metasomatism overprinted by silicate melt metasomatism in the mantle beneath the West Eifel volcanic field [PDF]
The texture and mineral compositions of mantle xenoliths from the West Eifel volcanic field (WEVF) reveal three distinct mantle events. The first, identified in LREE-depleted and isotopically depleted anhydrous (type Ib) xenoliths, resulted from partial ...
