Abstract The Proterozoic Grenville orogeny (~ 1300–980 Ma) reactivated the Archean-
hosted Kapuskasing suture in Laurentia which then propagated west and south initiating the …

For over a century, many geologic, geochemical, geochronologic, and geophysical studies
have been focused on the Mesoproterozoic (1.1 Ga) volcanic, intrusive, and sedimentary …

Exposures in the Lake Superior region, and associated geophysical evidence, show that a
2000km-long rift system developed within the North American craton∽ 1109–1087Ma, the …

The Midcontinent Rift System (MRS) is an example of a mafic-dominated continental rift
where silicic magmatism is locally significant. The best-preserved example of this is on the …

Published geochemical data pertaining to global continental flood basalts (CFBs) indicate
that there are two contrasting distributions of high field strength elements (HFSEs) plotted on …

Hot super-Earths are exoplanets with short orbital periods (< 10 days), heated by their host
stars to temperatures high enough for their rocky surfaces to become molten. A few hot …

Continental flood basalt lavas often contain deeply-sourced, thermo-chemically anomalous
material that can provide a potential probe of inaccessible reservoirs. However, continental …

We report the ages of detrital zircons (207Pb/206Pb LA-ICPMS;) from 12 clastic units that
are representative of the Mesoproterozoic Midcontinent Rift System (MRS) of North America …

We provide measurements of thermal diffusivity (D), heat capacity (CP), and viscosity (η) for
12 remelted natural lavas and 4 synthetic glasses and melts, ranging in composition from …

This paper develops a Monte Carlo algorithm for extracting three‐dimensional lithospheric
density models from geophysical data. Empirical scaling relationships between velocity and …
