Buoyancy of slabs and plumes enhanced by curved post-garnet phase boundary
Mantle convection manifests in the subduction of cold slabs and the upwelling of hot plumes, driving both near-surface processes such as volcanism...

Melting of carbonated pelite at 5.5–15.5 GPa: implications for the origin of alkali-rich carbonatites and the deep water and carbon cycles
Melting experiments on a carbonated pelite were performed at 5.5–15.5 GPa, 800–1875 °C using multi-anvil apparatuses to determine the melting phase...

Formation, preservation and extinction of high-pressure minerals in meteorites: temperature effects in shock metamorphism and shock classification
The goal of classifying shock metamorphic features in meteorites is to estimate the corresponding shock pressure conditions. However, the temperature...

Petrogenesis of the Lunar volcanic glasses and Mg-suite: constraints on a post-magma-ocean cumulate overturn
The lunar volcanic glasses and Mg-suite rocks represent the early enigmatic episodes of lunar magmatism. Due to the gravitational instability of the...

Crystals
The treatment of natural crystals cannot be very comprehensive, for obvious reasons, and I limit myself to some rock-forming minerals and to some...

Hydration Effect on Equations of State for Minerals in the Peridotite System: Implication for Geotherms in the Mantle
Water in the deep Earth’s interior has important and profound impacts on the geodynamical properties at high-temperature ( T ) and high-pressure ( P )...

Preface: Metamorphism and Orogenic Belts—Response from Micro- to Macro-Scale
The geological toolbox for the analysis of orogenic processes has seen substantial additions over the recent decades. Major advances have been made...

Natural End Member Samples of Pyrope and Grossular: A Cathodoluminescence-Microscopy and -Spectra Case Study
Garnet is one of the most significant minerals in metamorphic rocks, that provides key information on prograde, peak-metamorphic and retrograde parts...

Tectonothermal Records in Migmatite-Like Rocks of the Guandi Complex in Zhoukoudian, Bei**g: Implications for Late Neoarchean to Proterozoic Tectonics of the North China Craton
Migmatite-like rocks transformed from strongly metamorphosed and deformed enclavebearing felsic plutons usually make people confuse with the true...

Mesozoic mafic magmatism in North China: Implications for thinning and destruction of cratonic lithosphere
The North China Craton (NCC) has been thinned from >200 km to <100 km in its eastern part. The ancient subcontinental lithospheric mantle (SCLM) has...

High-P/T experimental studies and water in the silicate mantle
Water (or H) in the silicate mantle is a key element in influencing Earth’s climate, habitability, geochemical evolution, geophysical properties and...

Composition of the Crust and the Mantle
The external layers of the solid Earth, from the crust to the lower mantle, are the main actors involved in the plate tectonics drama. In this...

Diagnostic possibilities of body waves for studying the interior structure of mars
The diagnostic possibilities of body waves for refining the models of the Martian interior structure are explored. The MATLAB-based software is...

Investigating Deep Lithospheric Structures
During the formation of the Earth as a planet heat energy released by accretion and certain other processes was sufficient to heat the entire Earth...

Mineral equilibria of diamond-forming carbonate-silicate systems
Based on experimental and mineralogical data, the model of mantle carbonate-silicate (carbonatite) melts as dominating parental media for natural...

Pressure and temperature dependences of elastic properties of grossular garnet up to 17 GPa and 1 650 K
Simultaneous ultrasonic elastic wave velocity and in situ synchrotron X-ray measurements on grossular garnet were carried out up to 17 GPa and 1 650...

Ab initio molecular dynamic simulation on the elasticity of Mg3Al2Si3O12 pyrope
We calculated thermo-elastic properties of pyrope (Mg 3 Al 2 Si 3 O 12 ) at mantle pressures and temperatures using Ab initio molecular dynamic simulation. A...

Tectonomagmatic evolution of the Earth and Moon
The Earth and Moon evolved following a similar scenario. The formation of their protocrusts started with upward crystallization of global magmatic...
