DOI: 10.1016/j.marpetgeo.2019.04.003
Abstract: Abstract Continental extension may, or may not, be coeval with significant mantle melting, leading to the formation of distinct types of passive margins (respectively magma-poor or volcanic), with distinct crustal structures. Especially in inter-cratonic mobile… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2122694119
Abstract: Significance This study proposes a geological mechanism for creating continental crust and lithosphere. When continents collide, the typical embayments and protrusions along their rifted margins make it likely that fragments of seafloor will be trapped… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/gji/ggaa029
Abstract: The anomalous density structure at subduction zones, both in the wedge and in the upper mantle, is analysed to shed light on the processes that are responsible for the characteristic gravity fingerprints of two types… read more here.

Serpentinization as a tape recorder of (dis)continuous mantle exhumation along the Alpine Tethys Ocean-Continent-Transition

DOI: 10.1093/petrology/egae063
Abstract: Serpentinization has been widely documented and investigated at mid-ocean ridges (MOR) and subduction zones. In contrast, at magma-poor rifted margins serpentinization has received much less attention, despite its importance in controlling rheology and mass fluxes… read more here.
