An intrinsic feature of Cordillera-style orogenic systems is a spatial trend in the radiogenic
isotopic composition of subduction-related magmatism. Magmatism is most isotopically …

This review paper deals with the geology of the NW Indian Himalaya situated in the states of
Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Garhwal. The models and mechanisms …

Lithospheric delamination is the foundering of dense lithosphere into less dense
asthenosphere. The causes for this density inversion are thermal, compositional, and due to …

Major and trace element, Sr–Nd–Pb–O isotope and mineral chemical data are presented for
post-collisional ultrapotassic, silicic potassic and high-K calc-alkaline volcanic rocks from …

This study presents new major and trace element and Sr-Nd isotopic results for a suite of
Miocene-Recent mafic lavas from the Kivu volcanic province in the western branch of the …

Splitting or thinning of lithosphere above a mantle plume can result in voluminous melt
generation, leading to the formation of large igneous provinces, or LIPs. Examples of LIPs …

The thermal thickness of Precambrian lithosphere is modeled and compared with estimates
from seismic tomography and xenolith data. We use the steady state thermal conductivity …

The Magdalen Islands are located in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, near the centre of the late
Devonian to Carboniferous composite Maritimes Basin, which opened in response to …

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 …

Global compilations of surface heat flow data from stable, Precambrian terrains show a
statistically significant secular change from 41±11 mW/m2 in Archean to 55±17 mW/m2 in …
