Journal ArticleDOI
Multi-element and rare earth element composition of lichens, mosses, and vascular plants from the Central Barrenlands, Nunavut, Canada
TL;DR: For example, this paper found that lichen and moss have remarkably similar multi-element patterns suggesting that they are non-specific accumulators of metals under existing conditions, and that the correlation of other poorly soluble elements and key elemental ratios in lichens and moss are also similar to UCC and modern river sediment values.
Journal ArticleDOI
Proterozoic (1.85–1.75 Ga) igneous suites of the Western Churchill Province: granitoid and ultrapotassic magmatism in a reworked Archean hinterland
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a model for rapakivi granite and porphyritic rhyolite formation in the Western Churchill Province (WCP) that may have been related to tectonic escape to the northeast.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cretaceous to Cenozoic volcanism in South Korea and in the Sea of Japan: magmatic constraints on the opening of the back-arc basin
TL;DR: The major element, trace element, and radiogenic isotope compositions of volcanic rocks in the back-arc area of the eastern Eurasian continental margin provide insight into the nature of the mantle wedge and constrain the magmatic evolution of the Japan Sea backarc basin linked to its tectonic history.
Journal ArticleDOI
Subduction-modified pelagic sediments as the enriched component in back-arc basalts from the Japan Sea: Ocean Drilling Program Sites 797 and 794
TL;DR: In this paper, the combined isotope and trace element systematics support a model of mixing between depleted, MORB-like mantle and Pacific pelagic sediments, and a best estimate of the composition of the sedimentary component has been determined by analyzing samples of differing lithology from DSDP Sites 579 and 581 in the western Pacific, east of the Japan arc.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbonatite and silicate melt metasomatism of the mantle surrounding the Hawaiian plume: Evidence from volatiles, trace elements, and radiogenic isotopes in rejuvenated‐stage lavas from Niihau, Hawaii
TL;DR: In this article, the trace element and radiogenic isotopic compositions for rejuvenated-stage Kiekie basalt basalt lavas have been studied and compared to other rejuvenated stage lavas, showing that the high Ba/Th lavas are among the least silica-understandably enriched of the rest of the suite.
