Hawai’i’s Depleted Peridotite Delivers More Magma

by Vincent Salters 24 March 202524 March 2025

The source for the isotopically-enriched Hawaiian magmas contains peridotites that experienced near-surface melting prior incorporation in the plume.

Modeling Mantle Dynamics as the Earth Slowly Cools

by Paul Asimow 19 February 202511 February 2025

An update of the convection code ASPECT enables full coupling of plume dynamics with buoyancy effects of transition zone phase relations, showing how early layering gave way to whole-mantle plumes.

Caldera Collapse as a Natural Example of Rock Friction

by Yosuke Aoki 25 June 202424 June 2024

Recurrent slips on the caldera wall of the Kīlauea Volcano are a natural experiment not only to understand the mechanics of caldera formation but also to gain more insights into fault friction.
