Lithospheric controls on magma composition along Earth's longest continental hotspot track
Hotspots are anomalous regions of volcanism at Earth's surface that show no obvious
association with tectonic plate boundaries. Classic examples include the Hawaiian …

On the origin of recent intraplate volcanism in Australia
Many intraplate volcanic provinces do not appear to originate from plate-boundary
processes or upwelling mantle plumes. Edge-driven convection (EDC), where a small-scale …

Linking intraplate volcanism to lithospheric structure and asthenospheric flow
Several of Earth's intraplate volcanic provinces are hard to reconcile with the mantle plume
hypothesis. Instead, they exhibit characteristics that are more compatible with shallower …

Can Moroccan Atlas lithospheric thinning and volcanism be induced by Edge‐Driven Convection?
Terra Nova, 24, 27–33, 2012 Abstract The Moroccan lithosphere is characterized by an
anomalously thinned area, located beneath the Atlas domains, which forms a singular …

The mechanisms underpinning Cenozoic intraplate volcanism in eastern Australia: Insights from seismic tomography and geodynamic modeling
Cenozoic intraplate volcanism is widespread throughout much of eastern Australia and
manifests as both age‐progressive volcanic tracks and non‐age‐progressive lava fields …

3-D structure of the Australian lithosphere from evolving seismic datasets
During the last 20 years, seismic tomography has frequently been used to provide
information on the structure of the lithosphere beneath the Australian continent. New …

Continental magmatism: The surface manifestation of dynamic interactions between cratonic lithosphere, mantle plumes and edge‐driven convection
Several of Earth's intra‐plate volcanic provinces lie on or adjacent to continental lithosphere.
Although many are believed to mark the surface expression of mantle plumes, our limited …
