Morphology and tectonics of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, 7°–12°S

, 2003
We present swath bathymetric, gravity, and magnetic data from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge between the Ascension and the Bode Verde fracture zones, where significant ridge–hot spot interaction has been inferred.

Low-velocity anomaly in the Coral Sea associated with subducting slabs and the Woodlark rift

Communications Earth & Environment
Classical plume models offer insights into intraplate volcanism and seamount chain formation by assuming a cylindrical upwelling of hot materials from the core-mantle boundary.

Synthetic seismic signature of thermal mantle plumes

, 2004
The first seismic images of mantle plumes have been a source of significant debate. To interpret these images, it is useful to have an idea of a plume's expected seismic signature.

Coupling thermodynamic mineralogical models and mantle convection [PDF]

, 2007
In this thesis I advance the integration of mineral thermodynamics into convection modeling. I have compiled a thermodynamic model of mantle mineralogy in the five component CFMAS system (CaO-FeO-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2), including mineral phases that occur close

Gas Measurements Reveal Fractional Degassing and Water Interaction During a Flank Eruption of Pacaya Volcano (Guatemala)

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.
Abstract SO2 flux and gas composition were measured during the 2021 flank eruption of Pacaya Volcano (Guatemala). The SO2 flux, measured with Tropomi, gradually rose from ∼2 to ∼30 kg/s over a 5 month period before the eruption. Field UV camera data showed that >95% of the SO2 was emitted from the summit crater.

Double volcanic tracks at Hawaii caused by bridgmanite-enriched primordial mantle blobs

Nature Communications
Mantle plumes, rising from Earth’s deep interior, are expected to produce a single age-progressive hotspot track. However, Hawaiian volcanoes younger than ~7 million years form two subparallel volcanic chains, the Loa and Kea trends. The mechanism behind

Characterization of a Portable Computed Tomography System for In Situ Analysis of Wooden Sculptures in Cultural Heritage

X-Ray Spectrometry, Volume 55, Issue 5, Page 763-777, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT Portable X‐ray computed tomography (portable CT) has become an important tool for the non‐destructive investigation of cultural heritage objects, particularly when in situ analysis is required. This work presents the experimental characterization and application of a transportable cone‐beam CT system designed for the inspection of large and ...

Toward an Improved Understanding of the Antarctic Coastal Zone and Its Contribution to Future Global Sea Level

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Understanding the coastal zone of the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS), where it interacts with the Southern Ocean and warmer air masses, is crucial for predicting Antarctica's influence on the global climate and sea level. This region has multiple tipping mechanisms that could trigger large, rapid, and potentially irreversible changes in the AIS ...

A case for mantle plumes

Chinese Science Bulletin, 2005
The existence of at least several plumes in the Earth’s mantle can be inferred with few assumptions from wellestablished observations. As well, thermal mantle plumes can be predicted from wellestablished and quantified fluid dynamics and a plausible assumption about the Earth’s early thermal state.
