A record of magmatic differentiation in plutonic xenoliths from Santorini (Greece)
Plutonic xenoliths from volcanic arcs provide unique insights into transcrustal magmatic systems in subduction zone settings. At Santorini volcano in the Central Aegean Volcanic Arc (Greece), plutonic xenoliths occur throughout a sequence of lavas and ...

Composition of the Sub‐Cratonic Mantle of the Guiana Shield Inferred From Diamond‐Hosted Inclusions
The composition of diamond‐hosted inclusions provides insight into the character of the sub‐cratonic lithosphere of the Guiana Shield. Guyana's Paleoproterozoic diamonds preserve an inclusion suite comprised of forsterite (Fo ∼89.3–91.8), enstatite ...

Abstract Volcano monitoring requires identifying and distinguishing physico‐chemical processes at various depths within magma plumbing systems and their links to volcanic activity. Long‐term monitoring of deep magma reservoirs, extending down to tens of kilometers, is crucial even though signals from these depths are often altered or attenuated before ...

Abstract The southwestern United States hosts well‐documented and dramatic variations in topography, seismicity, heat flow, magmatism, and seismic velocity structure. This region offers opportunities to investigate how processes such as temperature and partial melt are related to the Lithosphere‐Asthenosphere Boundary (LAB), and how they ultimately ...

Pressure‐temperature (P‐T) conditions and high‐resolution paths from 11 garnet‐bearing rocks collected across Himalayan fault systems exposed along the Bhagirathi River (Uttarakhand, NW India) reveal the tectonic conditions responsible for their growth ...

The present study reviews radiometric and thermobarometric techniques used to construct cooling curves or paths to characterize intrusive bodies and to calculate cooling and exhumation rates. To construct these curves or paths, the temperature, time and

Abstract The strength of the intracontinental lower crust exerts a primary control on regional‐scale deformation during continent‐continent collision. Because of the nominally anhydrous nature of much of the intracontinental lower crust, it is generally considered to be more viscous than lower crust in hydrated tectonic margins.

Reconciling Seismic and Thermo‐Chemical Models of Cratonic Lithosphere
Abstract Most published global and regional shear‐wave (VS ${V}_{\mathrm{S}}$) velocity models of cratons include a VS ${V}_{\mathrm{S}}$ increase with depth below the Moho, with a maximum at 100–150 km depth. This feature has long been debated, as it appears to require either (implausible) temperature decreases with depth, or substantial, layered ...

Compositions of plagioclase‐melt pairs are commonly used to constrain temperatures (T), dissolved water contents (H2O) and pressures (P) of pre‐eruptive magma storage and transport.

Elastic-thermobarometry: methods and applications to ultrahigh pressure metamorphic rocks
Ultra-High Pressure (UHP) metamorphic rocks represent the evidence we have for the detailed reconstruction of tectonic processes, which are the source of major natural hazards like deep-focus earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Mineral inclusions are often the only proof of ultrahigh pressure metamorphism and their study provides insights into the ...
