Determining melt productivity of mantle sources from U-238-Th-230 and U-235-Pa-231 disequilibria; an example from Pico Island, Azores
We use coupled 238U-230Th and 235U-231Pa disequilibria measurements from Pico Island, Azores to examine the melting behavior of the underlying mantle. U-series disequilibria in young, mafic lavas are dependent on the melting rate of their source, which in most cases is primarily controlled by its me...
