Over time, cooling-induced convection as well as partial melting have subsequently played a pivotal role in generating additional chemical heterogeneities in this vast reservoir. Formation of ...

The results of the models will be tested against existing and potentially new geochemical data and state-of-the-art wallrock partial melting experiments. In the experiments, the goal is to melt the ...

Deep below the Earth's surface, subduction causes partial melting of both the ocean crust and mantle as they slide past one another. This melting generates magma that makes its way to the surface ...
