The concurrent emergence and causes of double volcanic hotspot tracks on the Pacific plate
The emergence of geographically and geochemically distinct double volcanic chains on the Pacific plate coincides with a recent azimuthal change in the motion of the plate.

Lithospheric controls on magma composition along Earth’s longest continental hotspot track
A 2,000-kilometre-long volcanic hotspot track is identified in eastern Australia, along which magma composition and volcanic outcrop show a strong correlation with lithospheric thickness, providing an observat...

Melting in an Archaean mantle plume: heads it's basalts, tails it's komatiites
THE lower part of most Archaean greenstone sequences is dominated by interlayered basaltic and komatiitic (ultrabasic) flows. These two magma types are petrologically and geochemically distinct, yet they displ...

Turbulent mixing between fluids with different viscosities
Fluid dynamic processes associated with the injection of new pulses of magma into magma chambers have received increased attention recently1–3 especially chambers replenished from below with hotter, denser magma ...

A lower crustal origin for massif-type anorthosites
The origin of batholith-sized masses of plagioclase-rich crustal rocks, mainly Proterozoic in age, has mostly been ascribed to aluminous magmas of mantle derivation. Here we propose that such masses are derive...
