Abstract Monitoring data are critical for understanding volcanic unrest and eruption, but they often lack the ability to constrain the pre‐eruptive magma processes. As such, an increasing number of studies couple monitoring data with petrological tools to obtain insights into the causes and durations of magmatic processes. The 2018–2020 eruption of the

MINERALOGY OF OLIVINE ROCKS AND CONDITIONS OF THEIR FORMATION (ZHOKHOV ISLAND, NEW SIBERIAN ISLANDS, RUSSIA) [PDF]
This paper is dedicated to results of microscopic study of minerals from xenoliths of mantle spinel lherzolites in Cenozoic basaltoids of Zhokhov Island (New Siberian Islands, Russia) using microanalysis and Raman spectroscopy, as well as the assessment ...

Abstract The cratonic lithospheric mantle records complex metasomatic processes and is frequently tapped by alkaline magmatism, offering a unique opportunity to trace the progressive evolution of the mantle. In the present contribution, we investigate a newly identified calc‐alkaline lamprophyre field from the Neoarchean Jonnagiri Schist Belt, Eastern ...

Abstract Crust formed in volcanic arcs is accreted to continents over geologic time, serving as the source material for new continental crust in Earth's present and recent past. Geochemically, arcs are found to be significantly more mafic than bulk continental crust.

Deep Origin and Shallow Launch for the Etna 122 B.C. Mafic Plinian Eruption
Abstract Basaltic Plinian eruptions challenge our understanding of explosive volcanism. The 122 B.C. Plinian eruption of Etna ranks among the most powerful mafic explosive events known. Here, we combine volatile barometry of 122 B.C. from olivine‐hosted melt and fluid inclusions with comparative data from the sub‐Plinian Fall Stratified eruption at ...

Abstract Reactive melt infiltration critically modifies the physical and chemical properties of the oceanic lithospheric mantle (OLM). This process, involving melt‐rock reactions and in situ crystallization, exhibits substantial spatial and temporal variability driven by melt volume and ascent velocity.

Abstract Shelf seas are important for the economy and the carbon cycle, but shelf sea observations for carbon pools are often sparse or highly uncertain. An alternative can be provided by carbon reanalyses (whether assimilating proxy variables, such as chlorophyll‐a $a$, or directly carbon), but these are often expensive to run.

Petrological implications of melanite in the rocks of the Morro de São João Alkaline Complex, Casimiro de Abreu, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil [PDF]
This article presents a study of the titanium-rich andradite garnet, melanite, which occurs in the rocks of the Morro de São João Alkaline Complex, of Paleocene age, located in the district of Casimiro de Abreu, southeast of the state of Rio de Janeiro ...

Abstract Dense sedimentary iron formations (IFs) subducted into the mantle during Earth's early history, may have descended to the core‐mantle boundary where they could exert strong control on its thermal and seismological properties. A key unanswered question is the extent to which IFs retain their oxidized character in the much more reducing mantle ...

Mineralogical Evidence for Highly Evolved Th‐Saturated Magma on Mars
Abstract Thorium‐rich (Th‐rich) geological units have been detected by remote sensing in the Martian crust. However, there is still a lack of mineralogical evidence to constrain the magmatic processes responsible for these anomalies. In this study, we report the first discovery of thorite (ThSiO4) grains within a zircon fragment from Martian regolith ...
