Carbonate- and silicate-metasomatized mantle beneath Himalayan-Tibetan orogenic belt [PDF]

Communications Earth & Environment
The extreme geochemical enrichment of post-collisional potassium-rich lava in the Alpine-Himalayan orogenic belt has led researchers to hypothesize that enrichment is inherited from a metasomatized mantle source potentially incorporating crustal ...

Evaluating Forced Versus Plume‐Induced Subduction Initiation for the Talkeetna‐Bonanza Arc System: Implications for Permo‐Triassic Paleogeography of the North American Cordillera

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The mechanisms by which new subduction zones form remain highly debated. Here we use Permo‐Triassic strata to evaluate potential mechanisms for initiation of the Talkeetna‐Bonanza Arc of the northern North American Cordillera. New mapping and analysis of Permian and Upper Triassic strata on the Alaska Peninsula suggest a period of uplift ...

Corundum Discovered by SuperCam and the Perseverance Rover at Jezero Crater, Mars

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Mars is primarily composed of mafic mineral assemblages and their alteration products, but small, scattered rocks strewn across the landscape offer clues to greater petrological diversity. While traversing the Jezero crater rim, the Perseverance rover encountered several plagioclase‐rich light‐toned float rocks.

Seismic Radial Anisotropy of the Southern Tibetan Rifts From Ambient Noise Adjoint Tomography: Basal Shear and Localized Crustal Weak Zones Promote Rifting

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract North–south‐trending rifts in southern Tibet record E–W extension within the Tibetan Plateau, closely linked to high gravitational potential energy from collisional thickening and northward underthrusting of the Indian lower crust. To reveal how basal shear is transmitted upward and controls rifting, we use ambient noise adjoint tomography ...

Carbonatite metasomatism overprinted by silicate melt metasomatism in the mantle beneath the West Eifel volcanic field [PDF]

European Journal of Mineralogy
The texture and mineral compositions of mantle xenoliths from the West Eifel volcanic field (WEVF) reveal three distinct mantle events. The first, identified in LREE-depleted and isotopically depleted anhydrous (type Ib) xenoliths, resulted from partial ...

Metasomatism and Melting of Cordilleran Lithosphere Resulting From Sediment Relamination During Shallow Subduction

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
Mantle xenoliths recovered from the modern backarc region of the northern Altiplano Plateau record metasomatism by slab‐derived silicic melts, and a suite of Quaternary volcanics suggest that melting of accreted crustal material has persisted since ...
