The conversion of basaltic crust into a thick, buoyant felsic crust of tonalite-trondhjemite- granodiorite (TTG) composition has been a fundamental process in the Earth's evolution …
The ocean basins contain numerous volcanic ridges, seamounts and large igneous provinces (LIPs). Numerous studies have focused on the origin of seamount chains and LIPs …

Oceanic lithosphere, which forms two‐thirds of Earth's surface, is generated at mid‐ocean ridge spreading centers. Yet the internal structure of the lithosphere is not well characterized …
Seamounts and basaltic basement can influence deformation and mass fluxes within subduction zones. We examined seamounts and volcanic units across the western …
Revealing Archean crust-formation processes requires understanding of geochemical and chronological differences in granitoids. During the early evolution of Earth's felsic crust, large …
The origin of oceanic volcanism has been attributed to various mechanisms, such as upwelling mantle plumes, lithospheric extension driven decompression melting, and small …
Back cover—US Geological Survey scientists Seth Ackerman and Alfredo Aretxabaleta discussing coastal processes and how storms and sea level rise can impact local municipal …
