Abstract: Calcium perovskite is a major component of deep mantle phase assemblages and has been frequently identified, in retrograde form, as polyphase mineral inclusions within sub-lithospheric diamonds. Here experimental observations of synthetic samples demonstrate various properties… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.tecto.2017.02.002
Abstract: Abstract We used S-receiver functions (i.e. S-to-P converted signals) to study seismic discontinuities in the upper mantle between the Moho and the 410 km discontinuity beneath central Europe. This was done by using c. 49,000 S-receiver… read more here.

DOI: 10.25131/sajg.124.0023
Abstract: At least four spatially overlapping Large Igneous Provinces, each of which generated ∼1 x 106 km3 or more of basaltic magmas over short time intervals ( read more here.
