In the traditional biogeographic model, the Galápagos Islands appeared a few million years
ago in a sea where no other islands existed and were colonized from areas outside the …

Subduction drags a large amount of CO 2 into the Earth's interior, which is partly returned to
the atmosphere by arc volcanism. Processes involved in the recycling of subducted carbon …

Olivine is distinguished from all other minerals in providing a remarkable chemical narrative
about magmatic processes that occurred in Earth's crust, mantle, and core over the entire …

Central America has a rich mix of conditions that allow comparisons of different natural
experiments in the generation of arc magmas within the relatively short length of the margin …

Large igneous provinces and some hotspot volcanoes are thought to form above
thermochemical anomalies known as mantle plumes. Petrologic investigations that support …

Basalts and komatiites in the∼ 1880 Ma Paleoproterozoic Circum-Superior Large Igneous
Province are associated in space and time with the closure/subduction of the Manikewan …

Abstract High-Fo olivine (Fo= Mg/(Mg+ Fe) mol%) is an ideal proxy for establishing the
compositions of primary melts and their mantle sources. This has been exploited in …

To constrain sulfur concentration at sulfide saturation (SCSS) of martian magmas at mantle
conditions, we simulated basalt-sulfide melt equilibria using two synthesized meteorite …

Large igneous provinces, as the surface expression of deep mantle processes, play a key
role in the evolution of the planet. Here we analyse the geochemical record and timing of the …

The lavas associated with mantle plumes may sample domains throughout Earth's mantle
and probe its dynamics. However, plume studies are often only able to take snapshots in …
