Asthenospheric injection and back-arc opening: Isotopic evidence from Northeast Japan
TL;DR: In this article, isotopic change of Nd and Sr from the enriched signature to the depleted one is synchronous with the opening of the Japan Sea at ∼ 15 Ma, indicating that the opening was initiated by the injection of the asthenosphere.

Melting of dehydrated oceanic crust from the stagnant slab and of the hydrated mantle transition zone: Constraints from Cenozoic alkaline basalts in eastern China
Tetsuya Sakuyama,Wei Tian,Jun-Ichi Kimura,Yoshio Fukao,Yuka Hirahara,Toshiro Takahashi,Ryoko Senda,Qing Chang,Takashi Miyazaki,Masayuki Obayashi,Hiroshi Kawabata,Yoshiyuki Tatsumi +11 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present evidence to suggest that melts from the igneous layer in the stagnant Pacific slab contributed to the source composition of basalts erupted in eastern China, but they do not identify the source material.

Volcano-tectonic interactions during rapid plate-boundary evolution in the Kyushu region, SW Japan
Susan H Mahony,Laura M. Wallace,Masaya Miyoshi,Pilar Villamor,R. S. J. Sparks,Toshiaki Hasenaka +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the evolution of the local plate tectonic and volcanic system relationship at Kyushu Island is defined by major changes in tectonics and volcanic style at ca. 15, 10, 6, and 2 Ma.

Vp and Vs tomography of Kyushu, Japan: New insight into arc magmatism and forearc seismotectonics
Zhi Wang,Dapeng Zhao +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, high-resolution 3D tomographic images of the crust and upper mantle are determined under the entire arc region of Kyushu by inverting a large number of arrival time data of P-wave, S-wave and sP depth phases.

Backarc mafic–ultramafic magmatism in Northeastern Vietnam and its regional tectonic significance
Ngo Xuan Thanh,Tran Thi Thanh Hai,Nguyen Huy Hoang,Vu Quang Lan,Sanghoon Kwon,Tetsumaru Itaya,M. Santosh +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors constrain the tectonic evolution of the South China and Indochina blocks using geochemical, mineral chemical and geochronological data collected from mafic-ultramafic rocks exposed in the Cao Bang area, Northeastern Vietnam.

Chemical differentiation of the Earth: the relationship between mantle, continental crust, and oceanic crust
TL;DR: In this paper, the average chemical compositions of the continental crust and the oceanic crust (represented by MORB), normalized to primitive mantle values and plotted as functions of the apparent bulk partition coefficient of each element, form surprisingly simple, complementary concentration patterns.

A large-scale isotope anomaly in the Southern Hemisphere mantle
TL;DR: The authors showed that the isotopic mantle anomaly is globe-encircling in extent, centred on latitude 30° S. They also showed that this mantle anomaly has been in existence for billions of years and placed severe constraints on mantle convection models.
