A subduction and mantle plume origin for Samoan volcanism
Scientific Reports, 2018 The origin of Samoan volcanism in the southwest Pacific remains enigmatic. Whether mantle melting is solely caused by a mantle plume is questionable because some volcanism, here referred to as non-hotspot volcanism, defies the plume model and its linear ...

Volcanism and Deep Structures of the Moon
Space: Science & Technology, 2023 Volcanism is the most important endogenic geological process of the Moon, which is closely related to its internal structure and thermal history. Lunar volcanism is one of the most important topics for lunar science and explorations. Recent lunar orbital

Asteroid impact, not volcanism, caused the end-Cretaceous dinosaur extinction [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020 The Cretaceous/Paleogene mass extinction, 66 Ma, included the demise of non-avian dinosaurs. Intense debate has focused on the relative roles of Deccan volcanism and the Chicxulub asteroid impact as kill mechanisms for this event. Here, we combine fossil-

The Osmium Isotope Signature of Phanerozoic Large Igneous Provinces
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 229-246., 2021 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.

An overview of explosive volcanism on Mars
, 2021 International audienceDecades of space exploration reveal that Mars has been reshaped by volcanism throughout its history. The range of observed volcanic landforms shows that effusive and explosive eruptions have occurred, albeit unevenly in time and ...

Global Rates of Volcanism and Volcanic Episodes
, 2015 In this chapter we explore global volcanism production rates and ask whether global volcanism is constant or episodic in nature. Three categories of terrestrial volcanism are considered: (l) ocean ridge volcanism, (2) arc volcanism above subduction zones,

Frontières, 2023 Intrinsèquement liée à la formation de notre planète et aux mouvements de son écorce superficielle, l’activité volcanique a sans relâche sculpté les milieux physiques. Les volcans et leurs éruptions ont à de nombreuses reprises modifié temporairement le climat de la Terre, métamorphosé les paysages aux échelles régionale et locale, et bouleversé ...

Two-billion-year-old volcanism on the Moon from Chang’e-5 basalts
Nature, 2021 The Moon has a magmatic and thermal history that is distinct from that of the terrestrial planets1. Radioisotope dating of lunar samples suggests that most lunar basaltic magmatism ceased by around 2.9–2.8 billion years ago (Ga)2,3, although younger ...
