Kimberlites are volcanic rocks enriched in CO2 and H2O and derive from the deepest-
sourced melts (up to 300 km) that reach Earth's surface. The mantle processes that generate …

The concentration and distribution of water in the Earth has influenced its evolution
throughout its history. Even at the trace levels contained in the planet's deep interior (mantle …

The minerals constituting the Earth's upper mantle are nominally anhydrous silicates
(NAMs). However they do contain hydrogen as a trace element, decorating point defects in …

Continental basalts generally display enrichment of fluid-mobile elements and depletion of
high-field-strength elements, similar to those that evolved in the subduction environment, but …

Understanding the concentration and distribution of water in the Earth's mantle plays a
substantial role in studying its chemical, physical and dynamic processes. After a decade of …

Reaction experiments have confirmed that phlogopite websterite can be formed by the
interaction of peridotite with hydrous alkaline-or silica-rich melts. Phlogopite websterites …

The genesis of large igneous provinces (LIP) is controlled by multiple factors including
anomalous mantle temperatures, the presence of fusible fertile components and volatiles in …

Several magmatic processes contribute to the Fe isotope composition of igneous rocks. Most
basalts fall within a limited range of δ 56 Fe (+ 0.10±0.05‰), although more differentiated …

Recent research on the water content of large igneous provinces (LIPs) has revealed that
water has a significant impact on the formation of LIPs. However, most studies focus on the …

Abstract Intra-plate basalts of~ 35–0 Ma in East Eurasia formed in a broad backarc region
above the stagnant Pacific Plate slab in the mantle transition zone. These basalts show …
