The roles of subduction of the Pacific plate and the big mantle wedge (BMW) in the evolution
of east Asian continental margin have attracted lots of attention in past years. This paper …

Understanding the concentration and distribution of water in the Earth's mantle plays a
substantial role in studying its chemical, physical and dynamic processes. After a decade of …

It has previously been postulated that the Earth's hydrous mantle transition zone may play a
key role in intraplate magmatism, but no confirmatory evidence has been reported. Here we …

Major, trace element and Sr–Nd–Pb isotopic data of basalts emplaced during 90–40 Ma in
the North and Northeast China are compiled in this review, with aims of constraining their …

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 …

Although it is widely recognized that mantle peridotite is compositionally heterogeneous,
primitive mantle-like peridotite is commonly considered the potential peridotite source when …

Subduction transfers surface carbon into the Earth's interior in a main form of carbonates that
influences the global carbon cycles and surface climate through geologic time …

Contributions from fluid and melt inputs from the subducting Pacific slab to the chemical
makeup of intraplate basalts erupted on the eastern Eurasian continent have long been …

Abstract Continental intraplate basalts (15.42–0.16 Ma) from Abaga–Dalinuoer volcanic field
(ADVF) in central Inner Mongolia of eastern China, as a part of Cenozoic volcanic province …

Carbonates subducted into the mantle alongside mafic material play a critical role in the
deep cycling of carbon. This recycled oxidized carbon strongly affects the physical …
