Understanding of secular evolution of the Earth system is based largely on the rock and
mineral archive preserved in the continental lithosphere. Based on the frequency and range …

Arc-basaltic melts of typical hydration state (≥ 2 wt% H 2 O) are buoyant relative to all
common crustal igneous rock types and may pass adiabatically from a mantle source …

This global study of 31 off-shore back-arc basins and subbasins (BABs) identifies their
principal characteristics based on a broad spectrum of geophysical and subduction-related …

Magmatic volatiles (for example, water) are abundant in arc melts and exert fundamental
controls on magma evolution, eruption dynamics and the formation of economic ore …

Cratonic lithospheric mantle is composed of predominantly refractory materials that formed
at higher mantle potential temperatures (TP) than recorded in non-cratonic peridotites. It also …

There is a growing body of evidence for the origin of cratonic mantle eclogite xenoliths by
low-pressure formation in now-recycled ocean floors. Because they have protoliths …

This review presents an account of the variations in crustal and upper mantle structure
beneath the Indian subcontinent and its environs, with emphasis on passive seismic results …

Abstract Exposed High Pressure (HP) and Ultra High Pressure (UHP) metamorphic terrains
have been studied in order to assess the metamorphic processes and their role in changing …

The complex geophysical 3D model of the Earth's crust and the upper mantle is created for
the Archaean Karelian Craton and the Late Palaeoproterozoic accretionary Svecofennian …

Ordos Block has undergone rapid uplift, and a series of rift basins have been formed around
the block since the Cenozoic, but the formation mechanisms remain controversial. High …
