Sulfide resorption during crustal ascent and degassing of oceanic plateau basalts [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2019 The solubility of sulfur in basaltic melt has important implications for the formation of magmatic ore deposits. Here, the authors show that magma ascent and sulfur-degassing influence the degree to which basaltic magmas are enriched in economically ...

Mesozooplankton structure and functioning during the onset of the Kerguelen phytoplankton bloom during the KEOPS2 survey [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2015 This paper presents results on the spatial and temporal distribution patterns of mesozooplankton in the naturally fertilized region to the east of the Kerguelen Islands (Southern Ocean) visited at early bloom stage during the KEOPS2 survey (15 October to

Aseismic ridge subduction and flat subduction: Insights from three-dimensional numerical models
Earth and Planetary Physics, 2023 Flat subduction can significantly influence the distribution of volcanism, stress state, and surface topography of the overriding plate. However, the mechanisms for inducing flat subduction remain controversial.

Subduction Initiation by Plume‐Plateau Interaction: Insights From Numerical Models
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2020 It has recently been demonstrated that the interaction of a mantle plume with sufficiently old oceanic lithosphere can initiate subduction. However, the existence of large lithospheric heterogeneities, such as a buoyant plateau, in proximity to a rising ...

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2022 Valdivia Bank is an oceanic plateau in the South Atlantic formed by hot spot magmatism at the Mid‐Atlantic Ridge during the Late Cretaceous. It is part of the Walvis Ridge, an aseismic ridge and seamount chain widely considered to be formed by age ...

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023 The Tamu Massif, considered the biggest single volcano on Earth, was formed by the accumulation of enormous amounts of magma erupting to the surface. It is the largest and oldest seamount in Shatsky Rise, which is the third largest oceanic plateau on ...

Effects of Ocean Tide Load on Vertical Crustal Deformation in Northeastern Margin of Qinghai Tibet Plateau [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2020 Periodic crustal movement are mainly caused by ocean tides and changes of atmospheric pressure. In this project, the researcher has used the spherical harmonic coefficient of the ocean tide and actual observation data to study the impact on vertical ...

Spatial distribution of oceanic moisture contributions to precipitation over the Tibetan Plateau [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2022 Evaporation from global oceans is an important moisture source for glaciers and headwaters of major Asian rivers in the Tibetan Plateau (TP). Although the accelerated global hydrological cycle, the altered sea–land thermal contrast and the amplified ...

Magmatic surge requires two-stage model for the Laramide orogeny
Nature Communications, 2023 The Laramide orogeny is a pivotal time in the geological development of western North America, but its driving mechanism is controversial. Most prominent models suggest this event was caused by the collision of an oceanic plateau with the Southern ...
