    Basanite–nephelinite suite from early Kilauea: carbonated melts of phlogopite–garnet peridotite at Hawaii’s leading magmatic edge

    A basanite–nephelinite glass suite from early submarine Kilauea defines a continuous compositional array marked by increasing concentrations of incompatible components with decreasing SiO2, MgO, and Al2O3. Like p...

    Voluminous granitic magmas from common basaltic sources

    Granitic—rhyolitic liquids were produced experimentally from moderately hydrous (1.7–2.3 wt% H2O) medium-to-high K basaltic compositions at 700 MPa and fO2 controlled from Ni-NiO −1.3 to +4. Amount and compositio...

    Evidence for pressure-release melting beneath magmatic arcs from basalt at Galunggung, Indonesia

    The melting of peridotite in the mantle wedge above subduction zones is generally believed to involve hydrous fluids derived from the subducting slab1. But if mantle peridotite is upwelling within the wedge, melt...

    Hornblende gabbro sill complex at Onion Valley, California, and a mixing origin for the Sierra Nevada batholith

     The steep crest of the Sierra Nevada, California, near Onion Valley, exposes natural cross sections through a mafic intrusive complex that formed as part of the Mesozoic Sierra Nevada batholith. Sheeted sills...

    Experimental investigations of the role of H2O in calc-alkaline differentiation and subduction zone magmatism

    Phase relations of natural aphyric high-alumina basalts and their intrusive equivalents were determined through rock-melting experiments at 2 kb, H2O-saturated with fO2 buffered at NNO. Experimental liquids are l...

    Temperatures and H2O contents of low-MgO high-alumina basalts

    Experimental evidence is used to estimate H2O contents in low-MgO high-alumina basalts (HABs) (<6 wt.% MgO) and basaltic andesites (BAs) (<5 wt.% MgO) that occur worldwide in magmatic arcs. Wholerock compositions...
