Abstract: Abstract The Meso-Tethyan oceanic plateaus are becoming conspicuous as giant units on the oceanic floor and have played important roles in both continental marginal orogenesis and Tethys oceanic evolution. In this study, we present mineralogical,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41561-019-0390-y
Abstract: Tamu Massif is an immense Mesozoic submarine volcano, the main edifice of the Shatsky Rise oceanic plateau. It is located at a spreading ridge triple junction, but considered to be a shield volcano formed by… read more here.

DOI: 10.1130/l650.1
Abstract: Geophysical, geochemical, geochronologic, and stratigraphic observations all suggest that the basalts that underlie western Oregon and Washington (USA), and southern Vancouver Island (Canada) form a coherent terrane of Eocene age, named Siletzia. The total volume… read more here.
