The Role of the Back-arc Basin in the Formation of Slab Heterogeneity and the Origin of Volcanism in the Kuril–Kamchatka Island Arc
AbstractThe origin of volcanism along the Kuril–Kamchatka Island Arc (KKIA) was analyzed. Geophysical observations show variations in the slab...

Back-Arc Magmatism in the Cadomian Basin of NW Iran: Ortho-Amphibolites from the Alam Kandi Area
AbstractAlam Kandi amphibolites are exposed in NW Iran within the Takab metamorphic complex along with gneiss, schist, meta-peridotites and...

Melts from hydrous depleted back-arc mantle at a young boninitic volcano on the flank of Valu Fa Ridge (Lau basin, SW Pacific)
Volcano S3 is a young seamount located ~ 5 km east of the Valu Fa Ridge (VFR) in the Lau Basin, which has erupted boninitic lavas. We present new...

Elemental Compositions of Clinopyroxenes from Southern Okinawa Trough Basalt: Implications for Magmatism and Structural Environment in an Initial Back-Arc Basin
The major and trace elemental compositions of clinopyroxene from basalt were used to characterize the nature of the primitive magma and structural...

Geophysical investigation of the Mado Megamullion oceanic core complex: implications for the end of back-arc spreading
Detachment faulting is one of the main styles of seafloor spreading at slow to intermediate mid-ocean ridges. However, we have limited insight into...

Copper behavior in arc-back-arc systems: Insights into the porphyry Cu metallogeny of the Gangdese belt, southern Tibet
The genetic link between subduction- and collision-related porphyry Cu deposits (PCD) is still not well understood. The Gangdese porphyry Cu belt...

Late Carboniferous back-arc rifting in Junggar Basin, NW China: implication for the rapid continental growth in accretionary orogens
The final closure of oceans in accretionary orogens is a transformative process for continental crustal growth. The geodynamic mechanism is still...

Basaltic cognate enclaves from Dokdo Island as a window for intraplate mafic alkaline OIB magma dynamics in a back-arc basin
Volcanoes with ocean island basalt (OIB)-like characteristics occur in all settings. Their origin is particularly enigmatic when they occur in close...

Geochemical characteristics of back-arc basin lower crust and upper mantle at final spreading stage of Shikoku Basin: an example of Mado Megamullion
This paper explores the evolutional process of back-arc basin (BAB) magma system at final spreading stage of extinct BAB, Shikoku Basin (Philippine...
