Across the entire mantle we interpret 94 positive seismic wave-speed anomalies as
subducted lithosphere and associate these slabs with their geological record. We document …

Large igneous provinces (LIPs) are sites of the most frequently recurring, largest volume
basaltic and silicic eruptions in Earth history. These large-volume (> 1000km3 dense rock …

Large igneous provinces are exceptional intraplate igneous events throughout Earth's
history. Their significance and potential global impact are related to the total volume of …

Widespread basic magmatism across much of the western United States in the late
Cenozoic followed the cessation of subduction along the Pacific coast. This volcanism …

The major and trace element composition of late Cenozoic basalts (0–10 Ma) across the
Basin and Range province (B&R) preserve a clear signal of mantle melting depth variations …

Shortening and thickening of continental lithosphere cause an increase in surface elevation,
a decrease in the thermal gradient and, unless the crust is initially quite thick, a decrease in …

The practice of using the youngest detrital grains from a sedimentary deposit to constrain its
depositional age has grown rapidly over the past two decades. Researchers that use the …

Using the canon that large silicic volcanic fields are the surface manifestation of batholith
formation at depth as a departure, we examine what the spatiotemporal pattern of the 10–1 …

The Basin and Range province is a composite Cenozoic taphrogen with a present
configuration and internal geometry derived from superimposed multiple phases of …

In continental-margin subduction zones, basalt magmas spawned in the mantle interact with
the crust to produce a broad spectrum of volcanic arc associations. A distinct style of very …
