High concentration of water in stishovite in the MORB system [PDF]

Geophysical Research Letters, 2002
Stishovite synthesized from natural basalt showed the highest concentration of hydrogen ever reported. The water concentration obtained from the polished single crystal of stishovite in this study was up to a maximum of 5628 ± 291 atoms of hydrogen per 106 silicon atoms (844 ± 44 ppm water).

Coupled Geodynamical‐Geochemical Perspectives on the Generation and Composition of Mid‐Ocean Ridge Basalts

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
Owing to their abundance and relative availability on Earth's seafloor, mid‐ocean ridge basalts (MORBs) have a well‐defined chemical element budget, reflected by the low standard deviation associated with typical normal MORB (N‐MORB) composition. However,

Hydrated Peridotite–Basaltic Melt Interaction Part II: Fast Assimilation of Serpentinized Mantle by Basaltic Magma

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2020
The most abundant terrestrial lavas, mid-ocean ridge basalt (MORB) and ocean island basalt (OIB), are commonly considered to be derived from a depleted MORB-mantle component (DMM) and more specific, variably enriched mantle plume sources.

A discovery of nanoscale sulfide droplets in MORB glasses: implications for the immiscibility of sulfide and silicate melts

Frontiers in Earth Science
Sulfur forms an immiscible liquid upon saturation in magma, and sulfide droplets are commonly found in fresh mid-ocean ridge basalt (MORB). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis revealed that the fine-grained and weakly phyric MORB samples ...

Gravitational Stability of Hydrated SiO2 and Basaltic Crust in the Lower Mantle

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract We determined thermal equations of state of hydrated stishovite and CaCl2‐type SiO2 up to 100 GPa and 3,000 K to assess the gravitational stability of hydrated stishovite and basaltic crust in the lower mantle. Using machine‐learning based atomistic simulations, we examined three hydrogen dissolution mechanisms: hydrogarnet‐type, interstitial ...

Assessing the Impacts of Recent Crop Expansion on Water Quality in the Missouri River Basin Using the Soil and Water Assessment Tool

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2021
The Missouri River Basin (MORB) has experienced a resurgence of grassland conversion to crop production, which raised concerns on water quality. We applied the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) to address how this conversion would impact water ...

Tracing Continental Basalt Sources and Mantle Processes Using Fe Stable Isotopes

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Iron (Fe) isotopes have emerged as powerful tracers of mantle source heterogeneity and melting processes, yet the mechanisms producing heavy Fe isotope signatures (high δ57Fe values) in intraplate basalts remain debated. Competing interpretations include partial melting of recycled pyroxenite domains versus carbonate‐induced oxidation of a ...

Petrogenesis and Tectonic Evolution of Cenozoic Magmatism in the Southernmost Northern Andes: Insights From Zircon Petrochronology

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract This study integrates new zircon U–Pb ages, zircon εHf(t)–δ18O isotopic data, and whole‐rock geochemistry to refine the temporal and spatial framework of magmatism in the southern Northern Andes (SNA) from ∼65 to 6 Ma. The San Lucas, Catamayo, Portachuela, and Gonzanamá batholiths and magmatic suites, along with Late Miocene plutons, display ...

Age and MORB geochemistry of the Sabah ophiolite basement [PDF]

Bulletin of the Geological Society of Malaysia, 2000
A late Jurassic to early Cretaceous (Neocomian) age is most likely for the ophiolite basement of Sabah, consistent with the Barremian-Aptian age of the overlying ribbon cherts. Attempts at dating have been confined to the K:Ar method, unfortunately unsuited to this rock suite because of its low potassium and high atmospheric argon contents.
