Applicability of large-ion lithophile and high field strength element basalt discrimination diagrams

open access: yesInternational Journal of Digital Earth, 2018
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]

open access: yes, 2017
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

Geochemical characteristics of back-arc basin lower crust and upper mantle at final spreading stage of Shikoku Basin: an example of Mado Megamullion

open access: yesProgress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2021
This paper explores the evolutional process of back-arc basin (BAB) magma system at final spreading stage of extinct BAB, Shikoku Basin (Philippine Sea) and assesses its tectonic evolution using a newly discovered oceanic core complex, the Mado ...

The heterogeneity of the Mexican lithospheric mantle: Clues from noble gas and CO2 isotopes in fluid inclusions

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2022
The abundance of mantle-derived rocks and lavas, in combination with its tectonic evolution, render Mexico a perfect laboratory to investigate the chemical and the isotopic heterogeneity of the lithospheric mantle.

Viscosity and viscosity anomalies of model silicates and magmas: a numerical investigation

open access: yes, 2012
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

open access: yesEarth and Planetary Science Letters, 2020
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.

Thermoelastic Properties of Ringwoodite [Fe_x,Mg_(1-x)]_2SiO_4: Its Relationship to the 520 km Seismic Discontinuity

open access: yes, 2012
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

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2022
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

open access: yesGeosystems and Geoenvironment, 2023
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 ...
