Mud volcanism, or sedimentary volcanism, represents one of the most intriguing phenomena
of the Earth's crust, with important implications in energy resource exploration, seismicity …

This chapter reviews the boron isotopic composition of the ocean floor, including pristine
igneous oceanic crust such as mid-ocean ridge basalts and ocean island basalts and their …

Mud volcanic eruptions in Azerbaijan normally last for less than a few hours, and are
characterized by vigorous extrusion of mud breccias, hydrocarbon gases, and waters …

Abstract The Lower Permian Fengcheng Formation in the Mahu Sag of northwestern China
is well-known for its alkaline lacustrine deposits. However, previous research is scarce due …

The behaviour of boron (B) and its fate in the environment remains in many respects
obscure. The major B sources and fluxes seem to have been identified, although there are …

The boron isotope-pH technique is founded on a theoretical model of carbonate δ11B
variation with pH that assumes that the boron isotopic composition of carbonates mirrors the …

A model for the release of Li, Be and B from progressively dehydrating altered oceanic crust
during subduction is presented. Combining clinopyroxene/fluid partition coefficients …

High-pressure (HP) metamorphic blocks enclosed in a mafic to ultramafic matrix from a
mélange on the island of Syros are rimmed by tourmaline-bearing reaction zones …

The two stable isotopes of Li are significantly fractionated by exchange reactions with clays
near the Earth's surface. The isotopic legacy of this process provides a robust tracer of …

Marine transform faults and associated fracture zones (MTFFZs) cover vast stretches of the
ocean floor, where they play a key role in plate tectonics, accommodating the lateral …
