In Situ Observation of Pressure‐Enhanced Hydrous–Anhydrous Solid Solution in Lower‐Mantle SiO2–AlOOH Phases

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 19, 16 October 2026.
Abstract Water plays a critical role in Earth's mantle dynamics and evolution, yet lower‐mantle storage mechanisms remain debated. δ‐AlOOH and SiO2 phases have been independently proposed as high‐pressure water hosts. Here, we conducted in situ synchrotron X‐ray diffraction experiments with a multi‐anvil apparatus and sintered diamond anvils to ...

Apatite as a Proxy for Reconstructing Magma Mixing Histories in Granitoids

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Apatite is a common accessory mineral in granites and mafic microgranular enclaves (MMEs), and its textural and compositional characteristics can record dynamic magmatic evolution processes. Apatites from the Early Cretaceous Sanguliu granite and its MMEs in the Liaodong Peninsula exhibit pronounced compositional heterogeneities. In this study,

A global forum on ultramafic ecosystems: from ultramafic ecology to rehabilitation of degraded environments

Ecological Research, 2018
Abstract The 9th International Conference on Serpentine Ecology (ICSE) was held in Tirana and Pogradec (Albania) from June 5 to 9, 2017. More than 100 delegates from 29 countries around the world gathered to present their research on recent advances in: (i) ultramafic soils, (ii) biogeochemistry, (iii) diversity of ultramafic flora ...

Multiple Subduction–Exhumation Cycles and Episodic Hydration–Metasomatism of an Oceanic Eclogite Block: Implications for Thermal Structure Evolution and Mass Transfer at the Subduction Interface

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract The rarity of natural rocks that specifically record the physicochemical conditions of the subduction interface strongly hampers pertinent studies on metamorphic trajectories of high‐pressure (HP) rocks and related fluid–rock interactions. This study examines an oceanic eclogite block from the Huwan shear zone in the Hong'an orogen.

Scientists’ warning on the global destruction of rock outcrop ecosystems

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Rock outcrops are geological formations that harbor a highly specialized biota adapted to harsh environmental conditions that differ from their surrounding landscapes. They are globally distributed, especially in old, highly weathered landscapes, and can function as habitat islands containing high levels of endemism and distinct evolutionary ...

Rodingite‐Derived Melt as a Recipe for Ultra‐Calcic Magmas

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract Rodingite is a high‐CaO rock formed by Ca‐rich fluid metasomatism on mafic protoliths. It typically occurs within serpentinite and represents an often‐overlooked constituent of the altered oceanic lithosphere that may be subducted into the mantle.
