Mineral-hosted melt inclusions have become an important source of information on
magmatic processes. As the number of melt inclusion studies increases, so does the need to …

Compositions of∼ 2500 spinel–olivine pairs and 400 melt inclusion–spinel pairs have been
analysed from 36 igneous suites from oceanic, arc and intraplate tectonic settings. Our data …

More than 50 per cent of the Earth's upper mantle consists of olivine and it is generally
thought that mantle-derived melts are generated in equilibrium with this mineral. Here …

Several methods have been developed to assess the thermal state of the mantle below
oceanic ridges, islands, and plateaus, on the basis of the petrology and geochemistry of …

PRIMELT2. XLS software is introduced for calculating primary magma composition and
mantle potential temperature (TP) from an observed lava composition. It is an upgrade over …

We have performed a detailed evaluation of three olivine geothermometers for anhydrous
systems representing three different approaches to modelling olivine-melt equilibrium. The …

The hypothesis that mantle plumes contain recycled oceanic crust is now widely accepted.
Some specific source components of the Hawaiian plume have been inferred to represent …

There is uncertainty about whether the abundant tholeiitic lavas on Hawaii are the product of
melt from peridotite or pyroxenite/eclogite rocks,. Using a parameterization of melting …

'Pyrolite'was chosen by Ringwood (1962a, b) as the name for a model chemical composition
for the mantle, consisting predominantly of pyroxene and olivine. Subsequently, the pyrolite …

Piton de la Fournaise (Réunion, Indian Ocean) is a large active volcano which shares many
features with the Hawaiian volcanoes. Its particularly simple elemental and isotopic …
