Estimating the Parental Magma Composition and Temperature of the Xiaohaizi Cumulate-Bearing Ultramafic Rock: Implication for Magma Evolution of the Tarim Large Igneous Province, Northwestern China

, 2016
The ultramafic dikes in the Tarim large igneous province (Tarim LIP), exposed in the Xiaohaizi area in the northwestern Tarim Basin of northwestern China, have porphyritic textures, and the olivine and clinopyroxene are as the major phenocryst phases ...

Intrusive Magmatism, Plate Stresses, and the Cause of Orthogonal Versus Oblique Spreading Mid‐Ocean Ridges

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The origin of orthogonally spreading ridge segments separated by oceanic transform faults, versus obliquely spreading ridge segments without transform faults (TFs), is a long‐standing enigma of plate tectonics. We address this problem using three‐dimensional (3D) geodynamic models that simulate axial magmatic intrusions along two ridge ...

The Seismic Signature of the Atlantis Massif Oceanic Detachment Fault Determined From Crystallographic Preferred Orientation and Microstructure

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract At slow‐spreading mid‐ocean ridges large scale detachment faults partly accommodate the spreading process. The mafic and ultramafic rocks at the ridges are infiltrated by water and change their mineralogy. Subsequently or contemporaneously to these reactions, detachment faulting takes place.

Ophicarbonates of the Feragen Ultramafic Body, central Norway

, 2019
The carbonation of ultramafic rocks is a common alteration process in ophiolites and can occur in various settings. We provide the first detailed description of the carbonated peridotites (ophicarbonates) of the Feragen Ultramafic Body, central Norway ...

Transient Porosity During Fluid‐Mineral Interaction, Part 2: Reconstruction Using Generative AI

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Quantifying fluid–rock interactions within the lithosphere is vital for both geological processes and applications such as CO2 ${\text{CO}}_{2}$ storage and geothermal energy development. Mineral replacement reactions generate transient pore networks that enhance fluid flow, yet many pores become isolated once reactions are completed, reducing

Ultramafic soils and nickel phytomining opportunities: A review

, 2022
Ultramafic soils are originated from ultramafic rocks such as peridotite and serpentinite and are highly enriched in metals (e.g., Ni, Cr, and Co) and depleted in plant nutrients (e.g., P, K, and Ca). Such characteristics make these soils unfavorable for

Along‐Strike Seismic Structure of the Andreanof Aleutian Arc Segment and Implications for the Formation of Continental Crust

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Crust formed in volcanic arcs is accreted to continents over geologic time, serving as the source material for new continental crust in Earth's present and recent past. Geochemically, arcs are found to be significantly more mafic than bulk continental crust.

Petrographic Analysis of Mafic and Ultramafic Rocks in Northern Thailand: Implications for CO₂ Mineralization and Enhanced Rock Weathering Approach

Geosciences
Mafic and ultramafic rocks have become a promising approach for atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) reduction, as they are major sources of CO2-reactive minerals, i.e., olivine, pyroxene, plagioclase, and serpentine.

Impact and Crystallization Modeling of the Sudbury Basin and Its Implications for a Hadean Crust

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The 1.85 Ga Sudbury Structure hosts Earth's largest and best‐preserved impact‐induced melt sheet, the Sudbury Igneous Complex (SIC), which crystallized into distinct noritic, gabbroic, and granophyric layers. We conduct impact simulations with iSALE‐2D and crystallization modeling using alphaMELTS 2 to track the formation and evolution of the ...
