IODP Expedition 352 drilled four sites in the Bonin outer forearc, providing a detailed record of lava eruption and dike emplacement during a short-lived (< 2 Ma) seafloor spreading …
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 …
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 …

The third edition of this widely acclaimed textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to all aspects of global tectonics, and includes major revisions to reflect the most significant …
The existing Hf isotope database for mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORB) is limited in both quantity and precision. Nevertheless, in Hf–Nd isotope space, MORBs show a wide variation …
The compositions of back-arc basin basalts (BABB) can usefully be viewed as products of four factors:(1) the composition of inflowing mantle and its preconditioning during flow to the …

When Harry Hess first proposed the theory of seafloor spreading, he imagined that mantle peridotite upwelling at midocean ridges reacted with water to form a serpentinite oceanic …
This paper develops methods for using the integrated study of Hf-Nd element and isotope covariations to define the nature and provenance of the mantle and subduction inputs to …
The plate tectonic cycle produces chemically distinct mid-ocean ridge basalts and arc volcanics, with the latter enriched in elements such as Ba, Rb, Th, Sr and Pb and depleted in …
