Early Cenozoic denudation of central west Britain in response to transient and permanent uplift above a mantle plume [PDF]
, 2018 Upwelling mantle plumes beneath continental crust are predicted to produce difficult to quantify, modest uplift and denudation. The contribution of permanent and transient components to the uplift is also difficult to distinguish.

Corn syrup mantle plumes [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2014 In the dark, microscopic plastic beads in the 200-gallon tank of corn syrup glow and sparkle when light from a projector shines at them in geophysical fluid dynamicist Christopher Kincaid’s laboratory at the University of Rhode Island. Experiments with this goo could help explain whether columns of magma rising up from near the Earth’s core might ...

The late Mesozoic-Cenozoic tectonic evolution of the South China Sea: A petrologic perspective [PDF]
, 2014 This paper presents a review of available petrological, geochonological and geochemical data for late Mesozoic to Recent igneous rocks in the South China Sea (SCS) and adjacent regions and a discussion of their petrogeneses and tectonic implications. The

Upper Mantle Pollution during Afar Plume-Continental Rift Interaction [PDF]
, 2011 International audienceNew Pb, Sr, Nd, Hf, and He isotope data for Quaternary basalts, erupted from Debre Zeyit, Butajira, and the Wonji Fault Belt of the Main Ethiopian Rift, show systematic mixing relationships involving three distinct mantle sources ...

Record of massive upwellings from the Pacific large low shear velocity province
Nature Communications, 2016 Large igneous provinces may record pulses mantle plume upwellings and their relationship with deep-rooted mantle sources. Madrigal et al. present a new petrological model of the Pacific Ocean Large Igneous Province finding that mantle plume pulses were ...

Long‐Distance Asthenospheric Transport of Plume‐Influenced Mantle From Afar to Anatolia
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2023 The origin of widespread volcanism far from plate boundaries and mantle plumes remains a fundamental unsolved question. An example of this puzzle is the Anatolian region, where abundant intraplate volcanism has occurred since 10 Ma, but a nearby ...

Asymmetric continental deformation during South Atlantic rifting along southern Brazil and Namibia [PDF]
, 2017 Plate restoration of South America and Africa to their pre-breakup position faces the problem of gaps and overlaps between the continents, an issue commonly solved with implementing intra-plate deformation zones within South America.

Tertiary-Quaternary subduction processes and related magmatism in the Alpine-Mediterranean region [PDF]
, 2006 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.

Mantle Plumes and Their Interactions
, 2022 Hotspots are regions of intraplate volcanism or especially strong volcanism along plateboundaries, and many of them are likely caused by underlying mantle plumes – localizedhot upwellings from deep inside the Earth. It is still uncertain, whether all plumes or justsome of them rise from the lowermost mantle, and to what extent and where theyentrain ...

Petroleum ResearchMantle plume is an essential component of the mantle convection system, and its influence on the geodynamics of continental rifts is of great significance for understanding the crust–mantle interaction.
