Thermal structure of the lithosphere exerts a primary control on its strength and density and
thereby its dynamic evolution as the outer thermal and mechanic boundary layer of the …

Over the last decade, seismological studies have shed new light on the properties of the
mantle lithosphere and their physical and chemical origins. This paper synthesizes recent …

Sustainable development and the transition to a clean-energy economy drives ever-
increasing demand for base metals, substantially outstripping the discovery rate of new …

Over the last few decades, significant advances in using geophysical techniques to image
the structure of magma plumbing systems have enabled the identification of zones of melt …

Oceanic residual depth varies on 5,000 km wavelengths with amplitudes of±1 km. A
component of this short‐wavelength signal is dynamic topography caused by convective …

Subducting plates release fluids as they plunge into Earth's mantle and occasionally rupture
to produce intraslab earthquakes. It is debated whether fluids and earthquakes are directly …

Volatiles expelled from subducted plates promote melting of the overlying warm mantle,
feeding arc volcanism. However, debates continue over the factors controlling melt …

The complex tectonic setting of the central‐western Mediterranean has interested
geoscientists for decades, but its geodynamic evolution remains a matter of debate. We rely …

At most mid-ocean ridges, a wide region of decompression melting must be reconciled with
a narrow neovolcanic zone and the establishment of full oceanic crustal thickness close to …

Cenozoic intraplate volcanism is widespread throughout much of eastern Australia and
manifests as both age‐progressive volcanic tracks and non‐age‐progressive lava fields …
