Fast uplift in the southern Patagonian Andes due to long- and short-term deglaciation and the asthenospheric window underneath by V. A. P. Muller, V. A. P. Muller, P. Sternai, C. Sue, C. Sue

“…Fast uplift rates of up to <span class="inline-formula">41±3</span> mm yr<span class="inline-formula">⁻¹</span> are measured by global navigation satellite system (GNSS) around the Southern Patagonian Icefield and are currently ascribed to post-LIA lithospheric rebound, but the possible longer-term post-LGM rebound is poorly constrained. …”

Late syn- to post-collisional magmatism in Madagascar: The genesis of the Ambalavao and Maevarano Suites by Donnelly B. Archibald, Alan S. Collins, John D. Foden, Justin L. Payne, Peter Holden, Théodore Razakamanana

“…This magmatism was coeval with polyphase deformation throughout Madagascar during the amalgamation of Gondwana and magmatism is interpreted to reflect lithospheric delamination of an extensive orogenic plateau. …”

Geochemistry and Mineralogy of Basalts from the South Mid-Atlantic Ridge (18.0°–20.6°S): Evidence of a Heterogeneous Mantle Source by Yun Zhong, Weiliang Liu, Zhilei Sun, Chris Yakymchuk, Kefa Ren, Jinnan Liu, Wei Li, Yaoliang Ma, Bin Xia

“…The basalt samples probably originated from partial melting of a depleted mantle spinel lherzolite source with a minor contribution of enriched materials possibly derived from the Saint Helena plume and subcontinental lithospheric mantle in the asthenosphere. Variable compositions of the basalt samples suggest heterogeneous mantle that includes depleted and enriched components at the South Mid-Atlantic Ridge between 18.0&#176;&#8722;20.6&#176;S.…”

Water in Omphacite and Garnet From Pristine Xenolithic Eclogite: T‐X‐fO2 Controls, Retentivity, and Implications for Electrical Conductivity and Deep H2O Recycling by Sonja Aulbach, Roland Stalder, Malcolm Massuyeau, Richard A. Stern, Dmitri A. Ionov, Andrey V. Korsakov

“…Abstract Kimberlite‐borne eclogite xenoliths having Precambrian oceanic crustal protoliths and entrained from ≥100 km depth can retain pristine geochemical features despite extended residence in the cratonic lithospheric mantle, making them valuable archives of deep chemical cycling including that of water. …”

The Newly Discovered Neoproterozoic Aillikite Occurrence in Vinoren (Southern Norway): Age, Geodynamic Position and Mineralogical Evidence of Diamond-Bearing Mantle Source by Dmitry R. Zozulya, Kåre Kullerud, Enrico Ribacki, Uwe Altenberger, Masafumi Sudo, Yevgeny E. Savchenko

“…The pre-rifting geodynamic setting of the Vinoren aillikite before the Rodinia supercontinent breakup suggests a relatively thick SCLM (Subcontinental Lithospheric Mantle) during this stage and might indicate a diamond-bearing source for the parental melt. …”

Geochemistry and Petrogenesis of metabasites from the Gol-e-Gohar Complex in southern Sanandaj-Sirjan metamorphic zone, South of Iran; Evidences for crustal extension and magmatism... by H. FATEHI, H. AHMADIPOUR

“…The data suggest that the paren magmas could derived by low degrees of partial melting of spinel-lherzolite sources in subcontinental lithospheric mantle. These evidences confirm the existence of extentional environments in southern part of the Sanandaj-Sirjan metamorphic zone in the Paleozoic era, when large extensional depressions developed in the Sanandaj-Sirjan metamorphic zone and underlying asthenosphere ascent and partially melted during this time. …”

Tectonic-magmatic setting for Early Cretaceous low-sulfidation epithermal gold deposits in the Xing–Meng Orogenic Belt: Constraints from zircon U–Pb and Hf isotopic data of wulaga... by Yongbin Wang, Xiaochun Liu, Yunkang Guo, Jiaqi Cai, Qing-dong Zeng

“…Combined with ore-related tectonic-magmatic activities in the Wulaga, Dong'an, and Sandaowanzi gold deposits, the Early Cretaceous low-sulfidation epithermal gold deposits in the Xing–Meng Orogenic Belt were formed from magmatic-hydrothermal events triggered by mutual interaction between post-orogenic lithospheric extension related to the closure of the Mongol-Okhotsk Ocean and arc-back extension associated with rollback of the Paleo-Pacific Ocean plate. …”

Early Triassic S-Type Granitoids in the Qinzhou Bay Area, South China: Petrogenesis and Tectonic Implications by Lei Liu, Wenjiao Xiao, Xijun Liu, Zengxia Zhao, Yabo Wang

“…Source discrimination indicators have revealed enriched lithospheric mantle-derived magma was also an endmember component of the S-type silicic magma, which provided a heat source for the crustal anatectic melting as well. …”

“…We suggest that the crust-mantle mixing signature of the Longquanzhan gold deposit is genetically related to the Late Cretaceous lithospheric thinning along the Tan-Lu fault zone, which triggers constantly uplifting of the asthenosphere surface and persistent ascending of the isotherm plane to form the gold mineralization-related crustal level magma sources. …”
