Zircon U–Pb chronology and Hf isotopes of the Lebowa Granite Suite and petrogenesis of the Bushveld Complex, South Africa
The Bushveld Large Igneous Province (BLIP) was emplaced in three stages (I, II, and III) over some 19 m.y. (c. 2061–2042 Ma). The Bushveld Complex is...

The crust-mantle transition beneath the Azores region (central-north Atlantic Ocean)
The Azores region straddles the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and comprises volcanic islands and seamounts interspersed with non-magmatic oceanic basins...

What can we learn from geothermobarometry at the dacitic Doña Juana Volcanic Complex (Colombia)? Implications for understanding Pleistocene crystal mushes and pre-eruptive storage conditions in the Northern Andes
We present a reconstruction of the physicochemical conditions of melts in the Pleistocene storage and plumbing system of the Doña Juana Volcanic...

Mineralogy and petrology of lamprophyre and dolerite dykes from the end-Cretaceous (~ 66 Ma) Phenaimata alkaline igneous complex, north-western India: evidence for open magma chamber fractionation, mafic recharge, and disaggregation of crystal mush zone in a large igneous province
The end-Cretaceous ( ca . 66 Ma) Phenaimata alkaline igneous complex, associated in space and time with the Deccan large igneous province (LIP) in...
