Melt generation and evolution in the Adda’do rift segment of the Afar rift from trace elements and petrography Open
Along-rift variations in the stage of continental separation are observed in the northern East African Rift System (EARS), from magma-assisted continental rifting in the Main Ethiopian Rift (MER) to nascent oceanic spreading in Afar. Howev…

Mantle Source Evolution Along the South Atlantic Transect (31°S) Records a Transition From HIMU Plume Component to Depleted MORB Open
Interactions between mantle plumes and mid‐ocean ridges create considerable spatial variation in composition along ridge axes. What is less well known is the temporal variation in MORB compositions along single mantle flow lines. IODP Expe…

Afar triple junction fed by single asymmetric mantle upwelling Open
The arrival of upwellings within the mantle from Earths deep interior are commonly observed worldwide, but their role in driving volcanism during continental breakup has long been debated. Given that only a small fraction of Earth’s …

Origin of Philippine Sea Basins During Subduction Initiation in the Western Pacific Open
Understanding the age and dynamics of the overriding plates allows an assessment of competing subduction initiation hypotheses. The Izu‐Bonin‐Mariana margin in the Western Pacific is a key example of initiation and hence it is important to…

The spatial and volcanic evolution of Ayelu, Abida and Yangudi volcanoes in the Northern Main Ethiopian Rift – Southern Afar, Ethiopia Open
The region between the Northern Main Ethiopian Rift and Southern Afar is a key link between two important sectors of the East African Rift System. Recent volcanism in this area occurs as a chain of NNE-SSW trending axial Quaternary volcano…

Temporal clustering of fissural eruption across multiple segments within the Ethiopian Rift Open
Magmatic continental rifts show evidence that discrete rift segments experience episodic intrusive and eruptive events, more commonly termed rifting episodes. However, whether multiple rifting episodes across adjacent rift segments are clu…

Composition and Petrology of a Mush-Bearing Magma Reservoir beneath Tenerife Open
Deciphering the dynamics of sub-volcanic magmatic processes requires a detailed understanding of the compositional and textural relationships between melt and crystals. To examine these relationships, we investigated material from one of t…

Isotopes track Tethyan seamount subduction beneath the Troodos spreading centre, Cyprus Open
Supra-subduction zone volcanoes record the chemical transfer of sedimentary and igneous material from the subducting plate to the overlying mantle and lithosphere. This transfer is thought to preferentially involve fluid-mobile elements, w…

Origin and Age of Magmatism in the Northern Philippine Sea Basins Open
A Robust tectonic reconstruction of the Philippine Sea Plate around ∼52 Ma is a prerequisite in understanding the process of subduction initiation and establishment of the Izu‐Bonin‐Mariana arc. This study investigates origins and timing o…

A Structural Ensemble of a Tau-Microtubule Complex Reveals Regulatory Tau Phosphorylation and Acetylation Mechanisms Open
Tau is a microtubule-associated protein that regulates the stability of microtubules. We use metainference cryo-electron microscopy, an integrative structural biology approach, to determine an ensemble of structures representing the struct…

Evolution of the Alu-Dalafilla and Borale Volcanoes, Afar, Ethiopia Open
<p>The Danakil depression in the Afar region of Ethiopia marks the change from subaerial continental rifting to seafloor spreading further north in the Red Sea <sup>[1]</sup>. Extension and volcanism in this incipient spr…

Petrological and geochemical snapshot of a melt-rich crystal mush: The 289 ka Fasnia eruption, Tenerife Open
Understanding the composition of, and relationships between, melt and crystals through the vertical extent of a magmatic system is important in developing models of pre-eruptive magma assembly prior to large, explosive eruptions.The 289 ka…

Using high-resolution Pb isotopes to unravel the petrogenesis of Sakurajima volcano, Japan Open
Sakurajima volcano on the rim of Aira caldera erupts daily, threatening the major nearby population centre of Kagoshima. Before 1955, eruptions have typically consisted of intermittent Plinian and effusive activity, but since 1955, frequen…
