Compositional trends of Icelandic basalts: Implications for short–length scale lithological heterogeneity in mantle plumes [PDF]

open access: yes
Lithological variations in the mantle source regions under mid-ocean ridges and ocean islands have been proposed to play a key role in controlling melt generation and basalt composition.

Tertiary-Quaternary intra-plate magmatism in Europe and its relationship to mantle dynamics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Anorogenic intra-plate magmatism was widespread in Europe from early Tertiary to Recent times, extending west to east from Spain to Bulgaria, and south to north from Sicily to northern Germany. Magmatism is spatially and temporally associated with Alpine-

Secondary Plumes Formation Controlled by Interaction of Thermochemical Mantle Plumes With the Mantle Transition Zone

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters
The causes and global distribution of intraplate volcanism remain poorly understood, particularly the occurrence of scattered magmatism unrelated to large igneous provinces (LIPs).

Noble Gases in Mantle Plumes

open access: yesScience, 2001
Trieloff et al . ([1][1]) provided neon isotope data to argue that mantle neon originates as a trapped component in meteorites rather than having a pristine solar composition. That finding, if true, has important consequences for understanding the mechanism of volatile input into the mantle ...

Cuttings, Combings, Fettlings and Flock: Gender and Australian Wool ‘Waste’, 1900–1950

open access: yesGender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As Australia's wool industry produced vast amounts of fine fleece from the nineteenth century, the wool processing and clothes manufacturing industries generated waste – products like cuttings, combings, fettlings and flock. Salvaged and then sold to waste merchants, these and other materials had a second life.

Moving hotspots [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
The assumption that stationary hotspots underlie the Earth’s lithospheric plates has been most important in the development of the theory of plate tectonics. According to the fixed hotspot hypothesis seamount trails are formed by volcanism penetrating the

Magmatism of the Kenya Rift Valley : a review. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Tertiary–Recent magmatism in the Kenya Rift Valley was initiated c. 35 Ma, in the northern part of Kenya. Initiation of magmatism then migrated southwards, reaching northern Tanzania by 5–8 Ma.

Influence of Grain Size Evolution on Mantle Plume and LLSVP Dynamics

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
Recent seismic tomography models suggest large‐radius primary plumes originating from the core‐mantle boundary, with grain size variations potentially explaining these observations. Additionally, grain size variations are thought to enhance the long‐term

Geochemical Constraints on the Structure of the Earth's Deep Mantle and the Origin of the LLSVPs

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021
Geophysical analysis of the Earth's lower mantle has revealed the presence of two superstructures characterized by low shear wave velocities on the core‐mantle boundary.

Carney's Davos Address and the (Contested) Re‐Imagining of Middle Powers

open access: yesGlobal Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT By privileging the intervention of Canada's prime minister, Mark Carney, in his January 2026 Davos address, the work aims to re‐engage with the debate around middle powers extending from academic scrutiny to instrumental practice. On core themes, Carney's address provides exceptional focal points pertaining to the role of this category of ...
