TL;DR: In this paper, a pyrolitic GPa from a mantle enriched in SiO2 relative to pyrolite was made from 3 to 7 GPa in piston-cylinder and multi-anvil apparatus.

Nature

TL;DR: Measurements of the composition of fluids and melts equilibrated with a basaltic eclogite at pressures equivalent to depths in the Earth and temperatures of 700–1,200 °C constrain the recycling rates of key elements in subduction-zone arc volcanism.

Mantle metasomatism by ephemeral carbonatite melts

David H. Green, +1 more

- 01 Dec 1988 -

Nature

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that carbonatite melts will alter the chemical composition of the mantle through which they pass, producing distinctive mineralogical and geochemical signatures, which can be recognized in peridotite xenolith suites from Australia.

Energy-constrained open-system magmatic processes I : General model and energy-constrained assimilation and fractional crystallization (EC-AFC) formulation

Frank J. Spera

- 01 May 2001 -

Journal of Petrology

TL;DR: In this article, a general class of models (EC-AFC) is presented, where energy-constrained models have the of geochemical paths for trace elements and isotopic ratios for magma taking advantage of linking thermal and chemical properties of magma undergoing simultaneous replenishment, assimilation and fractional chambers.
