Dynamics of mantle plumes [PDF]

, 2016
Mantle plumes are a link between different scales in the Earth’s mantle: They are an important part of large-scale mantle convection, transporting material and heat from the core-mantle boundary to the surface, but also affect processes on a smaller scale, such as melt generation and transport and surface magmatism.

Geochemical and Isotopic Constraints on Long‐Lived Source Enrichment and Mantle Evolution in Paleoproterozoic Cratonic Lamprophyres

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The cratonic lithospheric mantle records complex metasomatic processes and is frequently tapped by alkaline magmatism, offering a unique opportunity to trace the progressive evolution of the mantle. In the present contribution, we investigate a newly identified calc‐alkaline lamprophyre field from the Neoarchean Jonnagiri Schist Belt, Eastern ...

Multidisciplinary Investigation of Healy Submarine Volcano (Kermadec Arc, New Zealand) Using AUV and Submersible Data: Structural Control on Magmatic and Hydrothermal Processes

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract We present a comprehensive multidisciplinary investigation of the Healy submarine volcano in the southern Kermadec arc, northeast of New Zealand. We show the first results of sidescan‐sonar data collected at a submarine arc volcano by an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV).

Subducted Carbon From Mantle Plume in Mid‐Ocean Ridge Basalts

Geophysical Research Letters
Deciphering the Earth's deep carbon cycle, from mantle plumes to mid‐ocean ridges, remains incompletely understood. In this study, we analyze the magnesium isotope composition of basalts collected from the South Mid‐Atlantic Ridge (SMAR), which have been

Intrusive Magmatism, Plate Stresses, and the Cause of Orthogonal Versus Oblique Spreading Mid‐Ocean Ridges

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The origin of orthogonally spreading ridge segments separated by oceanic transform faults, versus obliquely spreading ridge segments without transform faults (TFs), is a long‐standing enigma of plate tectonics. We address this problem using three‐dimensional (3D) geodynamic models that simulate axial magmatic intrusions along two ridge ...

Lunar Crustal Formation by Melt Migration and Differentiation Within a Stagnant Lid

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The lunar anorthosite highlands represent the Moon's primary crust, which formed during the solidification of a magma ocean following the Moon‐forming giant impact. However, the canonical model of anorthite flotation in the crystallizing magma ocean often struggles to reproduce the long > ${ >} $200 Myr solidification timescale required by the

Mantle plumes in the vicinity of subduction zones

, 2016
We present three-dimensional deep-mantle laboratory models of a compositional plume within the vicinity of a buoyancy-driven subducting plate with a fixed trailing edge.

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 ...

Re-os isotope constraints on the age of the Lithospheric mantle beneath western Greenland. [PDF]

, 2007
Alkaline magmatic activity across Western Greenland (W.G.) provides a record of lithosphere evolution over the last 600 Ma. Ultra Mafic Lamprophyre (UML) magmatism in particular has erupted an exceptional inventory of mantle xenoliths allowing a detailed
