The formation of amphibole cumulates beneath arc volcanoes is a key control on magma geochemistry, and generates a hydrous lower crust. Despite being widely inferred from trace element geochemistry as ...

Helium and neon solubilities were measured in six amphiboles that span a range of compositions (Supplementary Information and Table S1). The experiments consisted of gem-quality crystals that were ...

Discriminant function analysis (DFA) of Ca-rich clinopyroxene and amphibole from modern arc volcanics allows identification of the parent magma type (basalt, andesite, or dacite + rhyolite). With a ...

The six noble gases do not normally dissolve into minerals, leaving earth scientists to wonder how they are recycled back into the Earth. Now, researchers have discovered that the lattice structure of ...
