Trace-element compositions of olivine from 75 mantle rocks of diverse origin, including
xenoliths from kimberlites, basaltic lavas and orogenic peridotites, were determined by laser …

A REE-in-two-pyroxene thermometer for mafic and ultramafic rocks has been developed on
the basis of the temperature and pyroxene composition dependent rare earth element (REE) …

A new flexible interrogation tool for 2-dimensional LA-ICP-MS element and isotope maps is
presented. Called Monocle, the tool works as an add-on in the software Iolite. Initial …

This review surveys the literature on reference materials for geological and environmental
research for the two year period 2006–2007. In this time ca. 1200 publications appeared …

Monomineral thermobarometry (MTB) data derived from EMP analyses for heavy
monomineral separates from> 20 Yakutian kimberlite pipes were used to compile a SSE …

The role of lithospheric mantle metasomatized by CO2-bearing melts in the genesis of HIMU-
like alkaline intraplate basalts is investigated using a suite of peridotite xenoliths from New …

Although trace element concentrations in clinopyroxene serve as a useful tool for assessing
the depletion and enrichment history of mantle peridotites, this is not applicable for …

Adakites are unusual felsic igneous rocks commonly associated with asthenospheric slab
window opening or fast subduction of a young (< 25 Ma) oceanic plate that may allow slab …

Low‐angle subduction of oceanic lithosphere may be an important process in modifying
continental lithosphere. A classic example is the underthrusting of the Farallon plate …

Subduction initiation is one of the key processes in the operation of plate tectonics. Our
understanding of this process is largely derived from geochemical studies of basaltic rocks …
