Linear chains of volcanic ocean islands are one of the most distinctive features on our
planet. The longest, the Hawaiian–Emperor Chain, has been active for more than 80 million …

The characteristics of magma supply, storage, and transport are among the most critical
parameters governing volcanic activity, yet they remain largely unconstrained because all …

New laser ablation–inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) U-Pb
zircon ages and geochemical data are reported for the Karamay ophiolitic mélange in the …

The Mayile ophiolitic mélange (MOM) is located in the southwestern part of the West
Junggar (NW China) and forms part of the Southern Altaids. The MOM comprises ultramafic …

This review surveys the literature on reference materials for geological and environmental
research for the two year period 2006–2007. In this time ca. 1200 publications appeared …

Pb isotope compositions of melt inclusions provide unique information about the
composition of primary magmas and their source. In this study, we have developed a …

Olivine-hosted melt inclusions within lava retain important information regarding the lava's
primary magma compositions and mantle sources. Thus, they can be used to infer the nature …

The 19 known shield volcanoes of the main Hawaiian Islands—15 now emergent, 3
submerged, and 1 newly born and still submarine—lie at the southeast end of a long-lived …

A certain type of deep‐sea sediment exhibits very high content of rare earth elements and
yttrium (REY) and is therefore expected to serve as a novel resource for these industrially …

We report new textural and chemical data for 10 garnet peridotite xenoliths from the
Udachnaya kimberlite and examine them together with recent data on another 21 xenoliths …
