Reconstructing Earth history during the Hadean defies the traditional rock-based approach
in geology. Given the extremely limited locality of Hadean zircons, some indirect approach …

The short-lived Hf-W isotope system has a wide range of important applications in
cosmochemistry and geochemistry. The siderophile behavior of W, combined with the …

The oxygen fugacities of nine mantle-derived komatiitic and picritic systems ranging in age
from 3.55 Ga to modern day were determined using the redox-sensitive partitioning of V …

We have analyzed ancient atmospheric gases trapped in fluid inclusions contained in
minerals of Archean (3.3 Ga) to Paleozoic (404 Ma) rocks in an attempt to document the …

The metasomatized sub-continental lithospheric mantle (SCLM) is increasingly proposed to
play a key control in the formation of giant gold (Au) deposits. However, the extent of Au …

The geodynamic regime of the early Earth remains elusive, with so far proposed hypotheses
ranging from stagnant lid convection to rapid plate tectonics. Available geological data are …

Abstract New Sm‐Nd, Lu‐Hf, Hf‐W, and Re‐Os isotope data, in combination with highly
siderophile element (HSE, including Re, Os, Ir, Ru, Pt, and Pd) and W abundances, are …

Oceanic plateaus with high-Mg rocks in the present-day oceanic crust have attracted much
attention for their proposed mantle-plume origins and abnormally high mantle potential …

Komatiites are crystallized samples of high-temperature, high-MgO lavas that were common
during the Archean, but became increasingly rarer in the Proterozoic and Phanerozoic …

Oxygen fugacity of the mantle is a crucial thermodynamic parameter that controls such
fundamental processes as planetary differentiation, mantle melting, and possible core …
