The partitioning behavior of Fe and Mg between olivine and basalt melt is of key importance to the study of terrestrial and extraterrestrial basalts. Olivine-melt partitioning studies …
Abundances of minor and trace elements in olivine are increasingly used as petrogenetic indicators for mantle source lithologies, mantle metasomatism history, mantle potential …
The geochemical variations of magmas across and along supra-subduction zones (SSZ) have been commonly attributed to profound changes in the phase and chemical …
Numerous ultramafic rocks occur as lens-shaped bodies in the Archaean continental crust exposed in southern West Greenland. As some of the oldest exposed ultramafic bodies …
Kimberlite melts are low volume, volatile-rich melts formed in the asthenosphere at depth> 150-250 km. Due to their low viscosity and the exsolution of CO 2 triggered by their …
When magmas erupt at the surface, they may have undergone many changes since their inception. While olivine drives some of these changes through crystallization and …
