Abstract The South China Craton consists of the Yangtze and Cathaysia blocks that were
welded together along the Jiangnan Fold Belt in the Neoproterozoic. The Neoproterozoic …

Ferromanganese nodules in the northwestern Pacific are newly discovered submarine solid
mineral resources with high economic value. To systematically ascertain the metallogenesis …

This paper presents new major and trace-element data and Lu–Hf and Sm–Nd isotopic
compositions for representative suites of marine sediment samples from 14 drill sites …

Following its subduction, oceanic crust either contributes to the source of island-arc volcanic
rocks or it is recycled into the mantle. Most,, but not all authors believe that recycled crust is …

High-Mg ultrapotassic volcanic rock occurrences of lamproitic affinity are exposed in
southwestern Anatolia, mostly within the Menderes Massif. From north to south the lamproitic …

Batch equilibration experiments are conducted to measure the distribution coefficients (Kd)
of a large number of elements in nitric, nitric plus hydrofluoric, and hydrochloric acids on …

Abstract Knowledge of the average composition of the upper continental crust is crucial to
establish not only how it formed but also when. While well constrained averages have been …

We present the first combined dissolved hafnium (Hf) and neodymium (Nd) concentrations
and isotope compositions of deep water masses from the Atlantic sector of the Southern …

In subduction zones, two major mass fluxes compete: the input flux of altered oceanic crust
and sediments subducted into the mantle and the output flux of magma that forms the …

Abrupt and large‐scale climate changes have occurred repeatedly and within decades
during the last glaciation. These events, where dramatic warming occurs over decades, are …
