Layered intrusions are fossilized natural laboratories that historically have constrained many
fundamental principles of igneous petrology. Layered intrusions are typically stratiform …

Inclusions of basaltic melt trapped inside of olivine phenocrysts during igneous
crystallization provide a rich, crystal-scale record of magmatic processes ranging from …

Understanding magma genesis and the evolution of intensive parameters (temperature,
pressure, composition, degree of melting) in the mantle source of highly active volcanic …

Olivine is an important mineral in mafic–ultramafic rocks and records various crustal and
mantle processes in basaltic magma. Generally, phosphorus (P) is immobile in olivine and …

Heterogeneities in the phosphorus (P) content of olivine are relatively resistant to diffusive
homogenization when compared with other compositional heterogeneities. Thus …

Layered intrusions are fossilized mafic magma chambers in the Earth's crust. The pathways
that led to crystallization and solidification of layered intrusions have been hotly debated as …

The eruptive activity of Kīlauea Volcano (Hawai 'i) in the past 2500 years has alternated
between centuries-long periods dominated either by explosive or effusive eruptions. The …

Abstract Lithium (Li) concentration and Li isotopes of olivine have been widely adopted to
decipher the mantle-crust interaction and short-lived magmatic processes in the shallow …

Phosphorus plays a multifaceted role for all known life and hence understanding its sources
on the early Earth provides constraints on how life developed to incorporate this element …

Diffusion of scandium (Sc) in synthetic forsterite (Mg 2 SiO 4) was studied at 1400° C at
atmospheric pressure, in air. The Sc source was a powder of forsterite and protoenstatite …
