The geochemistry of oceanic intraplate (primarily oceanic island and seamount) lavas can
provide essential information on the composition and evolution of their mantle source and …

An oceanic volcanic chain with linear age–distance relationships is generally attributed to
originate from a primary mantle plume. The origin of many seamount groups in the West …

Our general understanding of mantle composition and dynamics mainly comes from the
composition of lavas from oceanic intraplate volcanoes. They are generally accepted to …

Abstract The formerly continuous Vitiaz Arc broke into its Vanuatu and Fijian portions during
a reversal of subduction polarity in the Miocene. Basaltic volcanism in Fiji that accompanied …

The Samoan hotspot generated an age‐progressive volcanic track that can be traced back
to 24 Ma at Alexa Bank, but the trace of the older portion (> 24 Ma) of the hotspot track is …

Volcanoes represent one of the most critical geological settings for hazard modelling due to
their propensity to both unpredictably erupt and collapse, even in times of quiescence …

The analysis of mid-ocean ridges and hotspots that are sourced by deep-rooted mantle
plumes allows us to get a glimpse of mantle structure and dynamics. Dynamical interaction …

The ocean basins contain numerous volcanic ridges, seamounts and large igneous
provinces (LIPs). Numerous studies have focused on the origin of seamount chains and LIPs …

Abstract The South Pacific Superswell in Polynesia is associated with a large seismic mantle
anomaly at depth, the Polynesian dome, and it is characterized by the volcanic activity of five …

To deconvolve contributions from the four overlap** hotspots that form the “hotspot
highway” on the Pacific plate—Samoa, Rarotonga, Arago-Rurutu, and Macdonald—we …
