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 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.

Experimental production of K-rich metasomes through sediment recycling at the slab-mantle interface in the fore-arc

Scientific Reports, 2023
Sediment contribution to the mantle is the key step for the generation of orogenic magmatism to produce its isotopic and geochemical inventory. Even though they are exceptional for the post-collisional settings, there are worldwide examples of arc ...

Experimental study of the interaction of model garnet-harzburgite with H2O – CO2 – (K, Na)Cl fluids at 5 GPa and 1 100 °С

Vestnik MGTU
In modern petrological and geochemical literature, considerable attention is paid to the issue of the transformation of mantle rocks during their interaction with fluids and melts of various origins.

Integrated Geophysical Imaging Reveals the Origin and Pathways of Mantle‐Derived CO2 Beneath the Tangra Yumco Rift, Central Tibet

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract The Tangra Yumco Rift (TYR) in central Tibet is a key window for crust–mantle interactions during extension. We performed high‐resolution crust‐mantle imaging using receiver function analysis, 1‐D nonlinear S‐wave velocity inversion, and tomoDD tomography, revealing a vertical Crust–Mantle Degassing System (CMDS) bounded by the Zhala (ZF) and ...

Large-scale impregnation of oceanic and continental slab-derived adakitic melts into the mantle wedge

Communications Earth & Environment
Mantle wedge metasomatism is a widespread phenomenon in subduction zones. However, details of early melt generation and the extent of metasomatic processes is unclear.

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

Progressively Fenitised Schist and Carbonatitic Clasts From a Metasomatic Aureole Beneath the Alkalic Dunedin Volcano, Otago, New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 2, June 2026.
Clasts of albite‐porphyroblastic quartzofeldspathic schist, derived from the Otago Schist basement, occur within the Port Chalmers Breccia, a diatreme at the centre of the Dunedin stratovolcano, New Zealand. Schists have undergone varying degrees of replacement reactions (at temperatures of 300° to >500°C) producing hornfelses, with Ca‐ and K‐enriched ...
