Applicability of large-ion lithophile and high field strength element basalt discrimination diagrams
Basalt discriminant diagrams have been used to identify the tectonic setting of basaltic magmatism since the 1970s and have played an important role in reconstructing paleotectonic environments.

Cosmic flow around local massive galaxies [PDF]
Aims. We use accurate data on distances and radial velocities of galaxies around the Local Group, as well as around 14 other massive nearby groups, to estimate their radius of the zero-velocity surface, $R_0$, which separates any group against the global

Viscosity and viscosity anomalies of model silicates and magmas: a numerical investigation
We present results for transport properties (diffusion and viscosity) using computer simulations. Focus is made on a densified binary sodium disilicate 2SiO$_2$-Na$_2$O (NS2) liquid and on multicomponent magmatic liquids (MORB, basalt). In the NS2 liquid,

Depletion ages and factors of MORB mantle sources
Abstract Sr-Nd-Hf-Pb isotopes show that the depleted MORB mantle (DMM) is not homogeneous. The heterogeneity is attributed to different ages of depletion and/or various degrees of depletion for a given domain of DMM, as well as multiple depletion events, metasomatism, and mixing between DMM and other mantle components.

We combine density functional theory (DFT) within the local density approximation (LDA), the quasiharmonic approximation (QHA), and a model vibrational density of states (VDoS) to calculate elastic moduli and sound velocities of gamma-[Fe_x,Mg_(1-x ...

D" Reflection Polarities Inform Lowermost Mantle Mineralogy
Polarities of seismic reflections at the discontinuity atop the D" region (PdP and SdS) indicate the sign of the velocity contrast across the D" reflector. Recent studies found PdP polarities matching and opposite those of P and PcP.

Architecture of ophiolitic mélanges in the Junggar region, NW China
Ophiolitic mélanges, units that contain components of an ophiolite suite, provide crucial information on earth history and orogenic evolution. In this paper, four ophiolitic mélanges are characterized, including the Baijiantan-Yeyagou, Hebukesair ...
