The Earth as a planetary system has experienced significant change since its formation c.
4.54 Gyr ago. Some of these changes have been gradual, such as secular cooling of the …

The petrology and geochemistry of shallow continental lithospheric mantle (SCLM) can be
studied via (1) tectonically emplaced ultramafic massifs and (2) mantle xenoliths entrained in …

Mineral and whole-rock chemical data for peridotite xenoliths in basaltic lavas on
Spitsbergen are examined to reassess mechanisms of melt–fluid interaction with peridotites …

Fourteen peridotite xenoliths collected in the Massif Central neogene volcanic province
(France) have been analyzed for platinum-group elements (PGE), Au, Cu, S, and Se. Their …

Flow of partially molten crust controlling construction, growth and collapse of the Variscan
orogenic belt: the geologic record of the French Massif CentralImpact du fluage de la croûte …

The abundances of the mildly incompatible elements Al, Cr, V, Sc and Yb in more than 1700
mantle peridotite bulk rock analyses are interpreted in the light of a fractional melting model …

We have constrained the residence of high field strength elements (Nb, Ta, Zr, Hf, Ti) in
metasomatised peridotite xenoliths in basalts from SE Siberia using high-precision electron …

Subduction of oceanic lithosphere is thought to be responsible for producing heterogeneity
in Earth's mantle; the heterogeneity is most clearly preserved in the compositions of ocean …

Anorogenic intra-plate magmatism was widespread in Europe from early Tertiary to Recent
times, extending west to east from Spain to Bulgaria, and south to north from Sicily to central …

We present a summary of geophysical models of the subcrustal lithosphere of Europe. This
includes the results from seismic (reflection and refraction profiles, P-and S-wave …
