Basaltic volcanism'samples' the Earth's mantle to great depths, because solid-state
convection transports deep material into the (shallow) melting region. The isotopic and trace …

The maximum potential temperature of the Archaean mantle is poorly known, and is best
constrained by the MgO contents of komatiitic liquids, which are directly related to eruptive …

Compositional models of the Earth are critically dependent on three main sources of
information: the seismic profile of the Earth and its interpretation, comparisons between …

Melting experiments on fertile peridotite KR4003, a 'pyrolitic'composition, were made from 3
to 7 GPa in piston-cylinder and multi-anvil apparatus. Temperature gradients across the …

We report new Hf (and Nd) data for more than 100 sedimentary samples, recent to Archean
in age, from a wide range of depositional environments. These data document the behavior …

Understanding mantle melting above subduction zones requires an evaluation of the
behaviour of elements for which the mantle contribution greatly exceeds any subduction …

The program adiabat_1ph is a simple text‐menu driver for subroutine versions of the
algorithms MELTS, pMELTS, and pHMELTS [Asimow et al., 2004; Ghiorso et al., 2002; …

Early in terrestrial planet evolution energetic impact, radiodecay, and core formation may
have created one or more whole or partial silicate mantle magma oceans. The time to …

The Precambrian geologic history of Peninsular India covers nearly 3.0 billion years of time.
India is presently attached to the Eurasian continent although it remains (for now) a separate …

Electron microprobe results are reported for liquid and crystalline phases that were
synthesized at 5–22.5 GPa in multianvil experiments on anhydrous peridotite KLB‐1 [Zhang …
