Depletion of the upper mantle by convergent tectonics in the Early Earth [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 Partial melting of mantle peridotites at spreading ridges is a continuous global process that forms the oceanic crust and refractory, positively buoyant residues (melt-depleted mantle peridotites).

Abiotic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons originating from the sub-oceanic mantle [PDF]
Scientific ReportsExperimental studies have demonstrated that petroleum may form from abiotic organic compounds synthesised in the Earth’s upper mantle. However, the most direct evidence of mantle-derived organics, as obtained from whole-rock analyses, indicates ambiguous

Seismological reference earth model in South China (SREM-SC): Upper mantle
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023 This work is the mantle component of constructing the Seismological Reference Earth Model in South China (SREM-SC). Although there has been a wide range of research for imaging the upper mantle structures beneath South China, most of them focus on the ...

Upper-plate Shortening and Mountain-building in the Context of Mantle-driven Oceanic Subduction
Tektonika, 2023 The mechanisms controlling mountain building at subduction zones remain debated. In particular the interaction between mantle flow and subduction has been poorly addressed while fundamental in controlling plate displacement and deformation.

Low‐Degree Melt Metasomatic Origin of Global Upper Mantle Fe Isotope Fractionation
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 The upper mantle is heterogeneous in Fe isotope compositions, but the origin of the heterogeneity needs understanding. Recent studies on oceanic basalts demonstrate that the upper mantle Fe isotope heterogeneity results from low‐degree melt metasomatism.

Upper Mantle Anisotropy and Flow Beneath the Pacific Ocean Revealed by Differential PS‐SKS Splitting
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Upper mantle anisotropy has been mapped beneath continents at high spatial resolution. Beneath the oceans, however, shear wave splitting constraints on upper mantle anisotropy are sparse, due to the paucity of seismic receivers. A technique that does not
