Abstract Basaltic lavas from Hainan Island near the northern edge of the South China Sea
have an age range of between late Miocene (about 13 Ma) and Holocene, with a peak age …

CO2 is considered to play a key role in the melting of the deep upper mantle, and
carbonated silicate melts have been widely predicted by partial melting experiments to exist …

Whether or not mantle plumes and plate subduction are genetically linked is a fundamental
geoscience question that impinges on our understanding of how the Earth works. Late …

Intraplate volcanism initiated shortly after the cessation of Cenozoic seafloor spreading in
