The Buoyancy of Cratonic Lithospheric Mantle
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 24, 28 December 2025.Abstract Cratons are generally thought to be characterized by stable, long‐lived mantle roots. However, recent studies have suggested that the lithospheric mantle may be prone to removal, implying that it may be denser than the asthenosphere. To address these suggestions, we use a global data set of mantle xenoliths to estimate the density structure of

Petrogenesis of Very‐Low‐Ti Basalts Returned by Chang'e‐6 From the Lunar Farside
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 23, 16 December 2025.Abstract Lunar volcanism provides critical insights into the Moon's thermochemical evolution. We present petrological and geochemical analyses of six very‐low‐Ti (VLT) basalt fragments from Chang'e‐6 (CE6) samples. These basalts yield a Pb‐Pb age of around 2.9 Ga, representing the youngest reported VLT volcanism. They are slightly older than the low‐Ti

Interaction of mantle convection with the lithosphere and the origin of kimberlites
Геофизический журнал, 2013 Thermobarometry of xenolites/xenocrysts from 39 kimberlites of Eurasia, Africa, and North America demonstrates that the deepest xenolites, as well as all the other, are exhumed from the depleted lithosphere implying in agreement with petrologic and ...
