Petit-spot volcanoes provide a unique opportunity to directly examine the structure and
geochemical composition of the lithospheric and asthenospheric mantle beneath the …

Volcanism on Earth is known to occur in three tectonic settings: divergent plate boundaries
(such as mid-ocean ridges), convergent plate boundaries (such as island arcs), and hot …

The olivine macrocrysts found in oceanites, picrites and magnesian basalts erupted at
hotspot volcanoes are generally interpreted either as phenocrysts crystallized from the …

Understanding the anatomy of magma plumbing systems of active volcanoes is essential not
only for unraveling magma dynamics and eruptive behaviors but also to define the …

Abstract Continental intraplate basalts (15.42–0.16 Ma) from Abaga–Dalinuoer volcanic field
(ADVF) in central Inner Mongolia of eastern China, as a part of Cenozoic volcanic province …

Crystallographic preferred orientations (CPOs) of olivine within natural peridotites are
commonly depicted by pole figures for the [100],[010], and [001] axes, and they can be …

Numerous Permian orthopyroxene-rich mafic–ultramafic intrusions in the southern margin of
the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) have been emplaced in a post-orogenic …

Unravelling the origin of different components contributing to subduction-related magmas is
a prerequisite to understanding the sources and processes involved in their origins. Mafic …

Micro-Raman spectroscopy enables nondestructive analyses of CO2 fluid density in a very
small volume. For application of the method to CO2 fluid inclusions in minerals originated …

We compare two intraplate, Pliocene-Pleistocene volcanic fields in different tectonic settings—
the central Basin and Range and the northwest Pacific Ocean. Both fields are characterized …
