DOI: 10.1002/2017gl075043
Abstract: The yield strength of oceanic lithosphere determines the mode of mantle convection in a terrestrial planet, and low-temperature plasticity in olivine aggregates is generally believed to govern the plastic rheology of the stiffest part of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.gca.2020.03.024
Abstract: Abstract The ultramafic mantle sections of the Yarlung-Zangbo ophiolites (YZO) along the suture of India and Asia in Tibet preserve the mantle history of the formerly intervening oceanic lithosphere. Fifty-two ophiolitic peridotites from three localities… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.gr.2020.08.004
Abstract: Abstract In this contribution an overview of oceanic lithosphere, associated ore deposits (sulphides, Fe and Mn oxides, chromitites) and their final destination in ophiolitic rocks are presented. This is followed by a discussion on massive… 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.

DOI: 10.1038/s41586-018-0684-z
Abstract: Abiotic hydrocarbons and carboxylic acids are known to be formed on Earth, notably during the hydrothermal alteration of mantle rocks. Although the abiotic formation of amino acids has been predicted both from experimental studies and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/nsr/nwac253
Abstract: In their paper, Huang et al. show that both introversion and extroversion can occur within the same model, if parameters are changed. This by itself is an important result, however, the authors go further to… read more here.
