Explores the behavior of carbon in minerals, melts, and fluids under extreme conditions
Carbon trapped in diamonds and carbonate-bearing rocks in subduction zones are examples of the continuing exchange of substantial carbon ...

The Osmium Isotope Signature of Phanerozoic Large Igneous Provinces
Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

THE STRUCTURE OF LOW-VELOCITY ZONES IN THE MANTLE OF THE NORTHERN EUROPE
The areas of low-velocity middle mantle shift into the transition zone are distinguished according to 3-d P-velocity model of the Fennoscandian shield mantle and its surroundings using Taylor approximation method.

Depth-dependent density change within the continental upper mantle
The empirical model of the depth-dependent density change within the upper continental mantle is derived in this study. The density of the upper(most) mantle underlying the continental crust is obtained from the estimated values of the crust–mantle (Moho)

Oceanic hotspots with extreme enriched mantle radiogenic isotopic signatures—including low 143Nd/144Nd indicative of subducted continental crust—are linked to plume conduits sampling the southern hemispheric mantle.

Mantle roots of the Emeishan plume: an evaluation based on teleseismic P-wave tomography [PDF]
The voluminous magmatism associated with large igneous provinces (LIPs) is commonly correlated to upwelling plumes from the core–mantle boundary (CMB). Here we analyse seismic tomographic data from the Emeishan LIP in southwestern China.

The thickness of the mantle transition zone beneath Ross Island, and parts of the Transantarctic Mountains and East Antarctic Craton has been mapped using data from the 2000–2003 Transantarctic Mountain Seismic Experiment to determine if, as indicated by

Earthquake in central Italy and velocities structure of the mantle
A three-dimensional P-velocity model of the European mantle built on the Taylor approximation made it possible to analyze the velocity structure of the mantle under the Mediterranean and, in particular, under Central Italy, to a depth of 2500 km. It is
