How mantle heterogeneities drive continental subduction and magmatism in the Apennines

Scientific Reports, 2022
Petrologic and geophysical observations floored the paradigm shift on the subduction of the continental lithosphere. In long-lived collisional boundaries like the Alpine Himalaya belt, portions of continental lithosphere are pushed down to great depths ...

Water and Oxygen Fugacity in the Lithospheric Mantle Wedge beneath the Northern Canadian Cordillera (Alligator Lake)

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2018
Assessing water contents of subduction zone mantle peridotites can gain insight into the compositions of slab‐derived fluids/melts and the active margin water cycle.

The origin of kimberlite [PDF]

, 1980
A new diapiric model for kimberlite genesis takes into account recent interpretations of peridotite-CO_2-H_2O melting relationships. A minor thermal perturbation at depth might trigger release of reduced vapors with major components C-H-O.

Lithosphere Modification Beneath the North China Craton: Geochemical Constraints of Water Contents from the Damaping Peridotite Xenoliths

Crystals
The water contents and geochemical evidence of nominally anhydrous minerals in peridotite xenoliths provide critical insights into lithospheric mantle features, offering a deep understanding of cratonic destruction and mantle evolution processes ...

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.

Geochemistry of spinels from xenoliths of mantle lherzolites (sverre Volcano, spitsbergen Archipelago)

Записки Горного института, 2017
The paper presents the results of a study (LA-ICP-MS method) of spinel from the collection of mantle xenoliths of lherzolites (seven xenoliths) selected in quaternary alkaline basalts of the Sverre volcano, the Spitsbergen archipelago.

Mid-Cretaceous extensional magmatism in the Alborz Mountains, north Iran; geochemistry and geochronology of Gasht-Masuleh gabbros

Swiss Journal of Geosciences, 2023
In the Gasht-Masuleh area in the Alborz Mountains, gabbroic magma intruded Palaeozoic metasediments and Mesozoic sediments and crystallised as isotropic and cumulate gabbros.

Lithosphere beneath the Evolving Tianshan Orogen: Constraints from Xenoliths

Lithosphere, 2022
The Ortosuu and Uchkuduk regions of the Tianshan orogen contain a volumetrically small series of basaltic rocks erupted primarily during the late Mesozoic-Paleogene. Petrology, chemical composition, and P-T geotherm data from xenoliths within the basalts

Lithospheric Mantle Heterogeneity Drives Delayed Magmatism and Wide Continent‐Ocean Transitions in Rifted Margins

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
Abstract The formation of wide, magma‐starved continent–ocean transition (COT) zones remains incompletely understood. We use 2‐D thermo‐mechanical numerical experiments, coupling hydrous mantle melting with parameterized crustal accretion, to explore controls on magmatic lag: the delay between continental crustal break‐up and steady oceanic crustal ...

Petrology and geochemistry of the back-arc lithospheric mantle beneath eastern Payunia (La Pampa, Argentina): evidence from Agua Poca peridotite xenoliths [PDF]

, 2013
This paper presents the results of new petrochemical studies carried out on mantle xenoliths hosted in Pleistocene basaltic rocks from the Agua Poca volcano in central-western Argentina.
