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.

Existence of complex spatial zonation in the Galápagos plume for at least 14 m.y.
Kaj Hoernle,Reinhard Werner Geomar,Jason Phipps Morgan,Dieter Garbe-Schönberg,Julie Bryce,Johann Mrazek +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that plume material can ascend from the lower mantle, possibly from the core-mantle boundary, with little stirring occurring during ascent, and that zonation in hotspot lavas may in some cases reflect spatial heterogeneity within a lower mantle source.

Existence of complex spatial zonation in the Galápagos plume
Kaj Hoernle,Reinhard Werner,Jason Phipps Morgan,Dieter Garbe-Schönberg,Julie Bryce,Johann Mrazek +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the Galapagos hotspot has a horseshoe-shaped region with depleted mantle, similar in composition to mid-ocean ridge basalt, and subdivide it into three distinct geochemical domains.

Heads and tails: 30 million years of the Afar plume
TL;DR: The Afar plume composition has remained essentially constant over the past 30 million years, indicating that the plume is a long-lived feature of the mantle as discussed by the authors, which supports a modified single plume model in which multiple plume stems rise from a common large plume originating at great depth in the mantle (i.e. the South African superplume).
