DOI: 10.1016/j.epsl.2016.12.044
Abstract: Abstract Continental arcs have been recently hypothesized to outflux large amounts of CO2 compared to island arcs so that global flare-ups in continental arc magmatism might drive long-term greenhouse events. Quantitative testing of this hypothesis,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.epsl.2019.06.017
Abstract: The chalcophile elements are important both in terms of their economic value and as potential tracers of magmatic processes at convergent margins. However, because of analytical difficulties, comprehensive datasets of chalcophile element concentrations for volcanic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2018tc005170
Abstract: Tectonic evolution models for the Cretaceous Russia Sikhote-Alin and eastern NE China continental margin and interior remain controversial. To understand the magmatic evolution over time and assess regional geodynamic processes, we sampled a diverse array… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/00206814.2018.1428831
Abstract: ABSTRACT The continental arc and intraplate magmatic rocks occur widely within the Altun-Qilian-North Qaidam (AQNQ) region of NW China and play a key role in reconstructing the assembly and dispersal history of micro-continental blocks within… read more here.

The Wechsel Gneiss Complex of Eastern Alps: an Ediacaran to Cambrian continental arc and its Early Proterozoic hinterland
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Swiss Journal of Geosciences"
DOI: 10.1186/s00015-020-00373-3
Abstract: Many metamorphosed basement complexes in the Alps are polymetamorphic and their origin and geological history may only be deciphered by detailed geochronology on the different members including oceanic elements like ophiolites, arc successions, and continental passive… read more here.
