DOI: 10.1016/j.jseaes.2018.06.031
Abstract: Cenozoic intraplate basalts are low in volume but widespread in eastern China. They are predominantly alkaline and have oceanic island basalt (OIB)-like trace element compositions. Despite numerous studies, the origin of Cenozoic basalts in eastern… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.pepi.2019.05.006
Abstract: Abstract Although mantle rheology is one of the most important properties of the Earth, how a radial mantle viscosity structure affects lithosphere dynamics is still poorly known, particularly the role of the lithosphere, asthenosphere, transition… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.pepi.2020.106559
Abstract: Abstract The thermochemical evolution of oceanic lithosphere and its interaction with the underlying asthenosphere exerts a fundamental control on the dynamics of the Earth system. Since the 1960s, the range, accuracy and spatial coverage of… read more here.

Sheared peridotite and megacryst formation beneath the Kaapvaal craton: a snapshot of tectonomagmatic processes across the lithosphere–asthenosphere transition
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Journal of Petrology"
DOI: 10.1093/petrology/egab046
Abstract: The cratonic lithosphere–asthenosphere boundary is commonly invoked as the site of sheared peridotite and megacryst formation, a well-recognized petrologic assemblage whose genetic relationships – if any – remain poorly understood. We have undertaken a comprehensive… read more here.
