The size of plume heterogeneities constrained by Marquesas isotopic stripes
Catherine Chauvel,René C. Maury,Sylvain Blais,Eric Lewin,Hervé Guillou,Gérard Guille,Philippe Rossi,Marc-André Gutscher +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present new Sr, Nd, Pb, Hf and Hf isotopes as well as trace element data on lavas from several Marquesas Islands and demonstrate that this archipelago consists of two adjacent and distinct rows of islands with significantly different isotopic compositions.

Young rift kinematics in the Tadjoura rift, western Gulf of Aden, Republic of Djibouti
TL;DR: In this paper, the Tadjoura rift is interpreted as an asymmetrical south-facing half-gr aben, about 40 km wide, dominated by a large boundary fault zone to the north.

The Cenozoic magmatism of East Africa: Part V – Magma sources and processes in the East African Rift
TL;DR: In this paper, the isotopic systematics of East African magmatism reveal significant complexity as to the specific reservoirs that may participate in the melting processes noted above, and the isotope characteristics of magma suites from throughout the region form arrays that broadly converge on the composition of the Afar Plume, despite some complexity where the plume material has formed a hybrid plume-lithosphere component.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the results of U^Pb (zircon) and Sm^Nd internal isochron dating for MORB-type tholeiitic dikes in the Karelian Craton, eastern Fennoscandian Shield.
