Extremely voluminous magmatic systems known as large igneous provinces (LIPs)
punctuate Earth's history, and the gases they release plausibly link large-scale geodynamic …

Experimental phase equilibrium studies at pressures ranging from 1 atm to 10 GPa are
sufficient to constrain the origin of igneous rocks formed along oceanic ridges and in …

The lower plate is the dominant agent in modern convergent margins characterized by
active subduction, as negatively buoyant oceanic lithosphere sinks into the asthenosphere …

Biostratigraphic and sedimentologic investigations in 67 sections have been carried out for
the Middle Permian Maokou Formation that immediately underlies the Emeishan flood …

Prevolcanic kilometer-scale lithospheric doming in the Emeishan large igneous province,
southwest China, allows us to evaluate the spatial and temporal consequences of uplift on …

Accreted terranes comprising Mid to Late Cretaceous picrites, basalts and dolerites occur in
three north–south trending belts in western Colombia, in the Central Cordillera, Western …

We present a crust and mantle velocity structure for the West Iberia passive continental
margin derived from a 320‐km‐long wide‐angle seismic profile acquired in the southern …

The extensive, complex, continental flood basalt (CFB) province which occurs in Ethiopia
and Yemen consists of Oligocene prerift volcanism related to the Africa–Arabia continental …

Oceanic plateaus, areas of anomalously thick oceanic crust, cover about 3% of the Earth's
seafloor and are thought to mark the surface location of mantle plume “heads”. Hotspot …

Oceanic plateaus form by mantle processes distinct from those forming oceanic crust at
divergent plate boundaries. Eleven drillsites into igneous basement of Kerguelen Plateau …
