Large Igneous Province Record Through Time and Implications for Secular Environmental Changes and Geological Time‐Scale Boundaries

open access: yesGeophysical Monograph Series, Page 1-26., 2021

Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact

An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Spin Transition of Iron in Deep‐Mantle Ferromagnesite

open access: yesGeophysical Monograph Series, Page 115-125., 2020

This book is Open Access. A digital copy can be downloaded for free from Wiley Online Library.

Explores the behavior of carbon in minerals, melts, and fluids under extreme conditions

Carbon trapped in diamonds and carbonate-bearing rocks in subduction zones are examples of the continuing exchange of substantial carbon ...

Three-dimensional topographic relief of the oceanic crust may control the occurrence of shallow very-low-frequency earthquakes in the Nankai Trough off Kumano

open access: yesEarth, Planets and Space, 2020
To explore a local relationship between geological structures and the occurrence of very-low-frequency earthquakes (VLFEs), a particular class of slow earthquakes with characteristic periods of 10–100 s, we investigated three-dimensional (3D) structural ...

Tracing Recycled Crustal Materials in the Subcontinental Lithospheric Mantle Using Thallium Isotopes

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2022
Here we report the first set of thallium (Tl) isotope data in alkaline rocks from the North China Craton to constrain the nature of recycled materials in the metasomatized subcontinental lithospheric mantle.

MODELING OF MOVING DEFORMABLE CONTINENTS BY ACTIVE TRACERS: CLOSING AND OPENING OF OCEANS, RECIRCULATION OF OCEANIC CRUST

open access: yesГеодинамика и тектонофизика, 2018
The evolution of the ‘mantle – moving deformable continents’ system has been studied by numerical experiments. The continents move self-consistently with the mantle flows of thermo-compositional convection.

Formation of an Al‐Rich Niccolite‐Type Silica in Subducted Oceanic Crust: Implications for Water Transport to the Deep Lower Mantle

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2022
Subducted oceanic crust is enriched in free silica. Although being one of the silica polymorphs at lower‐mantle pressures, niccolite‐type phase (Nt‐phase) has not been documented in multicomponent metabasaltic or metasediment compositions relevant to ...

Ridge Jumps and Mantle Exhumation in Back-Arc Basins

open access: yesGeosciences, 2021
Back-arc basins in continental settings can develop into oceanic basins, when extension lasts long enough to break up the continental lithosphere and allow mantle melting that generates new oceanic crust.

Continental Growth and Recycling in Convergent Orogens with Large Turbidite Fans on Oceanic Crust

open access: yesGeosciences, 2013
Convergent plate margins where large turbidite fans with slivers of oceanic basement are accreted to continents represent important sites of continental crustal growth and recycling.

A New Model for the Evolution of Oceanic Transform Faults Based on 3D Broadband Seismic Observations From São Tomé and Príncipe in the Eastern Gulf of Guinea

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2022
Oceanic Transform Faults are one of manifestations of the three major plate boundaries and a key tectonic feature of oceanic crust. They are broadly considered to accommodate strike‐slip displacement along simple vertical faults and to be largely without

Burying Earth's Primitive Mantle in the Slab Graveyard

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021
The evolution of mantle composition can be viewed as a process of destruction whereby the initial chemical state is overprinted and reworked with time.
