Modeling Anisotropic Signature of Slab‐Induced Mantle Plumes From Thermochemical Piles in the Lowermost Mantle

Geophysical Research Letters
Seismic anisotropy, observed in the lowermost mantle near Large Low‐Shear‐Velocity Provinces (LLSVPs), is likely caused by strong deformation from mantle flow interacting with these regions and/or plume formation.

Tomographic consistency in imaging lower-mantle plumes and their link to European Cenozoic Rift Volcanism

Earth and Planetary Physics
A wide northeast-trending belt of intraplate alkaline volcanism, exhibiting similar geochemical characteristics, stretches from the Eastern Atlantic Ocean to the Cenozoic rift system in Europe.

Sources and possible causes of Paleoproterozoic magmatism in the southern part of the Karelian Craton (Baltic Shield)

Transactions of the Karelian Research Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 2018
There is an opinion that Paleoproterozoic magmatism in the Karelian craton of the Baltic Shield is linked solely with the influence of mantle plumes.

Terrestrial Analogs to Titan for Geophysical Research

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Saturn's moon Titan exhibits remarkable parallels to the Earth in many geophysical and geological processes not found elsewhere in the solar system at the present day. These include a nitrogen atmosphere with a condensible gas—methane—replacing the Earth's water, leading to an active meteorology with rainfall and surface manifestations ...

Variations in Hawaiian Plume Flux Controlled by Ancient Mantle Depletion

AGU Advances
Mantle plumes—upwellings of buoyant rock in Earth's mantle—feed hotspot volcanoes such as Hawai‘i. The size of volcanoes along the Hawai‘i–Emperor chain, and thus the magma flux of the Hawaiian plume, has varied over the past 85 million years.

Seismic visualization of plumes and super-deep fluids in mantle under Ukraine

Геофизический журнал, 2017
According to the Taylor approximation of the three-dimensional P-velocity model of the mantle under Eurasia, a seismic visualization of the manifestation of mantle plumes and super-deep fluid processes was carried out.

Regional‐to‐Global Tectonic and Trench‐Morphology Effects of Oceanic Plateau Subduction

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.
Abstract Regional geodynamic modeling has shown that oceanic plateau subduction can modify the slab behavior. However, few studies have explored these interactions beyond 100 Myr in 3‐D spherical models. Using 3‐D spherical mantle convection models with self‐consistent plate‐like behavior, we investigate how the geometry and rheological properties of ...

Insights Into Mantle Plume Geochemistry From Machine Learning

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
Oceanic island basalts are the products of mantle plume melting and their chemistry provides insights into the Earth's deep interior. We report a statistical and machine learning study of 8 radiogenic isotopes and 19 incompatible trace element ratios in ...

A numerical study of forced lithospheric thinning [PDF]

Subsolidus lithospheric thinning by mantle plumes may be involved in the creation of swells, hotspots, and rifts. Among the major questions concerning this process are the timescale on which it occurs and the structure of the plumes.

Mapping molluscan endocrinology: a systematic and critical appraisal

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 970-1002, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Historically, a vertebrate‐centric paradigm has framed our interpretation of molluscan endocrinology, with considerable research focusing on vertebrate‐type steroid hormones (e.g. oestrogens, testosterone). However, contradictory evidence on the occurrence of vertebrate‐type steroid hormones in molluscan tissues, and a lack of the specific ...
