TLDR
Partition coefficients for Th, U, Pb, rare earth elements (REE), high field strength elements (HFSE), alkaline-earth elements, Sc, Cr, V and K were measured by ion microprobe techniques in two experiments on a natural high-alumina basalt composition from Medicine Lake, California as discussed by the authors.

Element transport from slab to volcanic front at the Mariana arc

TL;DR: Agarwal et al. as mentioned in this paper presented a comprehensive geochemical data set for the most recent volcanics from the Mariana Islands, which provides new constraints on the timing and nature of fluxes from the subducting slab.

Bulk-rock Major and Trace Element Compositions of Abyssal Peridotites: Implications for Mantle Melting, Melt Extraction and Post-melting Processes Beneath Mid-Ocean Ridges

- 01 Dec 2004 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the first comprehensive major and trace element data for 130 abyssal peridotite samples from the Pacific and Indian ocean ridge transform systems was presented, which revealed important features about the petrogenesis of these rocks, mantle melting and melt extraction processes beneath ocean ridges, and elemental behaviours.

Whole-mantle convection and the transition-zone water filter

TL;DR: It is proposed that the transition-zone water-filter model can explain many geochemical observations while avoiding the major pitfalls of invoking isolated mantle reservoirs.

Whole-Mantle Convection and the Transition-Zone Water Filter

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a transition-zone water-filter model to filter out incompatible elements in the Earth's mantle at the 410-km-deep discontinuity, which can explain ocean-island and mid-ocean ridge basalts.

Nb and Pb in oceanic basalts: new constraints on mantle evolution

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a new constraint on mantle composition: the differentiated part of the mantle, chemically depleted after separation of the major portion of the continental crust, was subsequently internally rehomogenized.
