During the Cenozoic widespread anorogenic magmatism, unrelated to recent supra-
subduction zone modification of its mantle source, developed within the Mediterranean and …

Seismological models of upper-mantle structure are providing new constraints on the
physical and chemical properties that differentiate the lithosphere from the asthenosphere. A …

Plumes of hot upwelling rock rooted in the deep mantle have been proposed as a possible
origin of hotspot volcanoes, but this idea is the subject of vigorous debate,. On the basis of …

More than 50 per cent of the Earth's upper mantle consists of olivine and it is generally
thought that mantle-derived melts are generated in equilibrium with this mineral. Here …

Results are reported of an exploration of mantle source lithology for intraplate magmas
using whole-rock and olivine phenocryst compositions. This analysis includes modern mid …

Corrosion of iron presents a serious economic problem. Whereas aerobic corrosion is a
chemical process, anaerobic corrosion is frequently linked to the activity of sulphate …

Basaltic magmatism is a common feature of dynamically active terrestrial planets. The
compositions of basalts reflect the temperatures and pressures of magma generation …

A new model of whole mantle P-wave tomography is determined with a novel approach. A
grid parameterization instead of blocks and spherical harmonics is adopted to express the …

Earth as an Evolving Planetary System, Fourth Edition discusses key topics dealing with the
evolution and interaction through time of Earth's crust, mantle, core, atmosphere …

A parameterization of experimental data in the 0· 2–7· 0 GPa pressure range constrains both
forward models of potential primary magma compositions that exit the melting regime in the …
