Earth's heterogeneous mantle: A product of convection-driven interaction between crust and mantle

A Stracke - Chemical Geology, 2012 - Elsevier
Ubiquitous heterogeneity in the Earth's mantle has been documented by numerous
chemical and isotopic analyses of oceanic basalts. Despite the ever-increasing amount of …

Subduction initiation as recorded in the Izu-Bonin-Mariana forearc

MK Reagan, JA Pearce, JW Shervais… - Earth-science reviews, 2023 - Elsevier
IODP Expedition 352 drilled four sites in the Bonin outer forearc, providing a detailed record

Composition of the depleted mantle

VJM Salters, A Stracke - Geochemistry, Geophysics …, 2004 - Wiley Online Library
We present an estimate for the composition of the depleted mantle (DM), the source for mid‐
ocean ridge basalts (MORBs). A combination of approaches is required to estimate the …

Mantle plumes and entrainment: isotopic evidence

SR Hart, EH Hauri, LA Oschmann, JA Whitehead - Science, 1992 - science.org
Many oceanic island basalts show sublinear subparallel arrays in Sr-Nd-Pb isotopic space.
The depleted upper mantle is rarely a mixing end-member of these arrays, as would be …

High precision Hf isotope measurements of MORB and OIB by thermal ionisation mass spectrometry: insights into the depleted mantle

GM Nowell, PD Kempton, SR Noble, JG Fitton… - Chemical …, 1998 - Elsevier
The existing Hf isotope database for mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORB) is limited in both
