Subduction Initiation Volcanism Leading to Development of the Talkeetna Arc, Lower Shuyak Formation, Kodiak Archipelago, Alaska

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 4, April 2026.
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

Magma Paths of the Karthala and La Grille Volcanoes (Grande Comore) Revisited: New Evidence From Geomorphology and Geochemistry

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Grande Comore, the westernmost island within the Madagascar Comoros Volcanic (MCV) chain, hosts two juxtaposed basaltic volcanoes, Karthala and La Grille, with contrasting lava geochemical signatures and eruption frequencies. Their formation and dynamics have been explained either by a mantle plume or, more recently, as part of a ...

Geochemical Analysis of Diachronous V‐Shaped Ridges and Troughs That Flank the Reykjanes Ridge South of Iceland

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract It is recognized that mantle plumes play a direct role in generating regional uplift and producing immense volumes of basaltic magmatism, both of which can influence paleoclimate. The Icelandic Plume, beneath the North Atlantic Ocean, is of particular importance due to its size and position at a significant paleoceanographic gateway.

Substitution of Fe3+ into anorthite in oxidized, Al‐deficient ferrobasaltic systems with implications for the petrogenesis of angrite meteorites

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 3, Page 427-443, March 2026.
Abstract Angrite meteorites are critically silica‐undersaturated igneous rocks with high Ca/Al and Fe/Mg, along with depletion in volatile lithophile elements Na and K such that they crystallize anorthite along with olivine and calcic pyroxene. The anorthite in angrites contains substantial Fe, and in NWA 1670 and NWA 1296, it is present at major ...

Evolution of the Source Mineralogy and Lithospheric Controls on Magmatism During the Northeast Atlantic Continental Breakup

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract The mid‐Norwegian Margin, part of the North Atlantic Igneous Province (NAIP), is a well‐studied volcanic rifted margin formed during the breakup between Greenland and Eurasia ∼56 Ma, with the largest accumulation of magmatic material hosted by the Vøring Margin section.

Viscosity of Dry and Hydrous Diopside Melts at High Pressures: Implications for Upper Mantle Magma Dynamics

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Viscosity of silicate melts governs magma transport and influences mantle dynamics, yet effects of pressure and water on melt viscosity remain poorly understood. Here, we report in situ falling‐sphere viscosity measurements on diopside (Di) melts with 0–3 wt.% H2O along the liquidus up to 7 GPa and 2103 K using synchrotron X‐ray radiography ...

Helium Isotope Variations in Gulf of Aden Basalts and the Surface Expression of Mantle Heterogeneity During Afar Plume—Triple Junction Interaction

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract New helium isotope data for basalt glasses from the Gulf of Tadjoura and Gulf of Aden reveal a mantle plume signal that has 3He/4He up to 17 RA. In the Gulf of Aden, plume helium is detectable ∼380 km from the Afar triple junction, up to the Shukra El Sheik Fracture Zone along the West Sheba Ridge, but not beyond.

Progress and challenges of big data research on petrology and geochemistry

Solid Earth Sciences, 2018
We are entering the era of big data, and big data achievements have benefited ordinary people. However, big data application in geochemistry research has not been really appreciated. Big data is a kind of method and a pattern of thought.

Using Digital Soil Mapping to Create Spatial Off‐Road Driving Guidelines and Optimal Road Networks in the Phinda Reserve

European Journal of Soil Science, Volume 76, Issue 5, September–October 2025.
ABSTRACT Protected areas are often thought of as pristine natural environments. Practically however, protected areas are often degraded. In Africa, protected areas are mostly funded through game viewing tourism, where development of the road network to enable game viewing often leads to land degradation.

Ultra‐Mafic Cumulates From Kaupulehu, Hualālai Volcano, Hawai'i: Geochemical Resetting of Mantle‐Inherited Olivine

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract We characterized the chemical composition and microstructure of six ultramafic cumulates from the Kaupulehu lava flow, Hualālai (Hawai'i Island), to decipher their origin. The samples are mostly wehrlites with poikilitic textures. The chemical compositions obtained from electron probe microanalyses and laser ablation inductively coupled plasma
