A paleogeographic model of the Galápagos Islands and biogeographical and evolutionary implications
The paleogeography of the Galápagos Archipelago is examined in light of a modern
understanding of regional geology, eustatic sea level changes, and volcano subsidence …

Helium isotope variations and mantle plume‐spreading ridge interactions along the Galápagos spreading center
Along the Galápagos Spreading Center (GSC), 3He/4He varies from 8.5–5.9 RA. High
3He/4He ratios, resembling those in the western and southern Galápagos islands, are …

A preliminary survey of the northeast seamounts, galápagos platform
A simple plume model cannot fully explain the origin of the Galápagos Islands because
magmatism continues east of the current position of the hotspot and young volcanoes occur …
