A detailed examination of the hypothesis that high-alumina basalts (HAB) in island arcs are primary magmas derived by 50–60% partial melting of subducted ocean crust eclogite shows that this model is unlikely to be viable. Evidence... more
Merapi Volcano (Central Java, Indonesia) has been frequently active during Middle to Late Holocene time producing basalts and basaltic andesites of medium-K composition in earlier stages of activity and high-K magmas from ∼1900 14C yr BP... more
Geological, geochronological and geochemical evidence suggest that several distinct parts of the Neoproterozoic orogen developed at the active margin of Gondwana are preserved in Moesia and South Carpathians. Parts of a Neoproterozoic... more
The Woodlark Basin consists primarily of crust formed at the Woodlark spreading center over the last five million years. The basin and spreading center are currently being subducted beneath the New Georgia Group, part of the Solomons... more
The 5 April 2003 paroxysmal explosion at Stromboli volcano was one of the strongest explosive events of the last century. It occurred while the effusive eruption, begun on 28 December 2002 and finished on 22 July 2003, was still on going... more
