Elastic thermobarometry on metapelites and igneous rocks across the crustal section of the Famatinian Arc, Argentina.

open access: yes, 2023
Determination of the pressures and temperatures at which rocks form is crucial to understanding petrologic processes in Earth. Elastic thermobarometry is a new, simple, technique that has shown early potential to accurately constrain the temperature and ...

Error sources in single-clinopyroxene thermobarometry and a mantle geotherm for the Novinka kimberlite, Yakutia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
A new suite of 173 clinopyroxene grains from heavy-mineral concentrates of the diamondiferous Novinka kimberlite (Upper Muna field, Yakutia) has been analyzed for major and minor elements with an electron microprobe to perform a thermobarometric study ...

Magma Plumbing During the 2014–2015 Eruption of Fogo (Cape Verde Islands)

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2020
Phenocrysts in volcanic rocks are recorders of magmatic processes that have occurred at depth before and during a volcanic eruption. Our petrological investigations of stratigraphically controlled tephrite and phonotephrite samples from the latest ...

Ductile and Brittle Rio Grande Rift Deformation in Oligocene Granite Records a Two‐Stage Rift History in Southern Colorado

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 45, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The timing and nature of early deformation in the Rio Grande Rift remains poorly constrained. We present evidence for the earliest structural signature of rift extension in the Sangre de Cristo Range, southern Colorado, based on new geologic mapping, structural analysis, rock magnetic data, and thermochronology. These analyses focus on the ∼30.

Thermodynamic modeling and thermobarometry of metasomatized rocks

open access: yes, 2013
Determining the P-T conditions at which metasomatism occurs provides insight into the physical conditions at which fluid-rock interaction occurs in the crust.

Developing New Amphibole Thermobarometers to Constrain High P‐T Hydration Processes of Basic‐Ultrabasic Rocks

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Amphibole compositions record high‐pressure‐temperature (P‐T) hydration processes during magmatism and metamorphism in the deep Earth. However, amphibole thermobarometers calibrated for basic–ultrabasic systems are scarce. To address this issue, we compiled Ca‐amphibole data from published equilibrium experiments and used machine‐learning ...

An Analysis of an Appalachian Metamorphic Suite [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The Blue Ridge is one of over a dozen provinces located in the much larger Appalachian Mountain Range which spans across the eastern United States. The Appalachian Mountains began to form close to 500 million years ago and rocks within the Blue Ridge ...

Distinct Transcrustal Evolutions of Komatiitic Primitive Magma: Implications for the Compositional Dichotomy of Continental Flood Basalts

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The origin of the compositional dichotomy between high‐Ti and low‐Ti basalts in continental flood basalt provinces remains debated. Most existing studies attribute this dichotomy directly to variations in primitive magma composition to circumvent the complexities of significant evolutionary processes, such as multiphase fractional ...

Magma storage and plumbing of adakite-type post-ophiolite intrusions in the Sabzevar ophiolitic zone, northeast Iran [PDF]

open access: yesSolid Earth, 2015
Subduction-related adakite-type intrusive rocks emplaced into the late Cretaceous–Paleocene Sabzevar ophiolite zone, northeast Iran, range from Mg-andesite to rhyodacite in composition.

Subduction Initiation and Early Subduction Zone Development: Insights From the P–T–t Path of the Bay of Islands Metamorphic Sole

open access: yesJournal of Metamorphic Geology, Volume 44, Issue 7, Page 510-536, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The processes involved during subduction initiation (SI) remain poorly constrained, in part due to the rarity of geological archives. Ophiolites and their underlying metamorphic soles are thought to form during subduction zone infancy and may thus provide critical constraints. Metamorphic soles are derived from oceanic crust of the lower plate
