Volcanism is the largest natural source of mercury (Hg) to the biosphere. However, past Hg emission estimates have varied by three orders of magnitude. Here, we present an updated central estimate and interquartile range (232 Mg a−1; IQR: 170–336 Mg a−1)

Transient slab flattening beneath Colombia
Subduction of the Nazca and Caribbean Plates beneath northwestern Colombia is seen in two distinct Wadati Benioff Zones, one associated with a flat slab to the north and one associated with normal subduction south of 5.5°N.

New 40Ar/39Ar dating of the Grande Ronde lavas, Columbia River Basalts, USA: Implications for duration of flood basalt eruption episodes [PDF]
Grande Ronde Basalt (GRB) lavas represent the most voluminous eruptive pulse of the Columbia River-Snake River-Yellowstone hotspot volcanism. With an estimated eruptive volume of 150,000 km3, GRB lavas form at least 66% of the total volume of the ...

The Salittu Formation in southwestern Finland, part I: Structure, age and stratigraphy [PDF]
Because of the relatively low metamorphic grade, low strain and well-preserved early structures in volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks, the Orijärvi triangle (in the center of the larger Orijärvi area) is one of the few locations in the Svecofennian orogen

Rifting and arc-related early Paleozoic volcanism along the North Gondwana margin: geochemical and geological evidence from Sardinia (Italy) [PDF]
Three series of volcanic rocks accumulated during the Cambrian to Silurian in the metasediment-dominated Variscan basement of Sardinia. They provide a record of the changing geodynamic setting of the North Gondwana margin between Upper Cambrian and ...

Evolution of the volcanic mechanism in the central part of the Urumieh-Dokhtar magmatic arc
Introduction Cenozoic volcanic activities in the Urumieh-Dokhtar Magmatic Arc (UDMA) have occurred in three main pulses of Eocene, upper Oligocene-Pliocene, and Pio-Quaternary (Dilek et al., 2010, Sayari, 2015).
