The Significance of Multiple Saturation Points in the Context of Polybaric Near-fractional Melting [PDF]
Experimental petrologists have successfully located basaltic liquid compositions parental to mid-ocean ridge basalt that are, within experimental resolution, multiply saturated with three-phase harzburgite or four-phase lherzolite assemblages on their ...

Abstract Widespread mafic magmatism at ca. 1.8–1.7 Ga across fragments of the Columbia supercontinent records a transition in the Earth's supercontinent cycle. The paleogeographic position of the Dunhuang Block in northwestern China within Columbia, and its role in this tectonic reorganization, remain controversial.

Dolerites of Svalbard, north-west Barents Sea Shelf: age, tectonic setting and significance for geotectonic interpretation of the High-Arctic Large Igneous Province [PDF]
The dolerites of Svalbard are mineralogically and geochemically homogeneous with geochemical features typical of continental within-plate tholeiites.

Episodic Rifting of a Large Igneous Province Concentrated Along a Microcontinent Boundary
Abstract Many large igneous provinces (LIPs) comprise once contiguous magmatic products that are now fragmented across multiple tectonic plates. Emplacement of these voluminous magmatic products is commonly coeval with, or shortly followed by, fragmentation into constituent domains.

Mafic alkaline metasomatism in the lithosphere underneath East Serbia: evidence from the study of xenoliths and the host alkali basalts [PDF]
Effects of mafic alkaline metasomatism have been investigated by a combined study of the East Serbian mantle xenoliths and their host alkaline rocks.

Mount Etna as a Leaking Pipe of Magmas From the Low Velocity Zone
Abstract Mount Etna, one of the most active volcanoes on Earth, exhibits unusual characteristics in terms of its geological setting, effusion rate, and volatile content. Mount Etna is closely related to the subduction of the Ionian plate below Eurasia, but, chemically, Mount Etna lavas are akin to intraplate magmatism.

Post-collisional Tertiary–Quaternary mafic alkalic magmatism in the Carpathian–Pannonian region: a review [PDF]
Mafic alkalic volcanism was widespread in the Carpathian–Pannonian region (CPR) between 11 and 0.2 Ma. It followed the Miocene continental collision of the Alcapa and Tisia blocks with the European plate, as subduction-related calc-alkaline magmatism was

Abstract Comprehension of the ophiolitic mélange plays a key role in the tectonic reconstruction of an ancient orogenic belt in terms of plate tectonics. The tectonic nature of the NNW‐trending southern Jinshajiang ophiolitic mélange is still controversial.

Abstract Our understanding of subduction initiation remains limited by the difficulty of making direct observations of geologically recent examples. In the geologic record, supra‐subduction zone ophiolites are often interpreted to record syn‐initiation slab rollback and upper plate extension. Unfortunately, many ophiolites are decoupled from records of
