Abstract: A wide range of speculation regarding lithospheric thermal thickness in a region calls for quantifying the uncertainties associated with model parameters. In this paper, we present an attempt to decipher it by solving the differential… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract The fraction M of plate separation accommodated by magma emplacement at mid-ocean ridges has been recognized as the main control on seafloor spreading modes, yet the factors that control M itself are poorly understood.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/petrology/egz012
Abstract: We examine REE (Rare-Earth Element) and isotopic (Sr–Hf–Nd–Pb) signatures in OIB (Ocean Island Basalts) as a function of lithospheric thickness and show that the data can be divided into thin- (12 Ma) sub-sets. Comparison to geophysically… read more here.
