Global- to Deposit-Scale Controls on Orthomagmatic Ni-Cu(-PGE) and PGE Reef Ore Formation

Thermochemical structure and evolution of cratonic lithosphere in central and southern Africa

“…T he thermochemical structure of the lithosphere exerts important controls on the localization of seismic activity, magmatism and giant ore deposits [1][2][3] . Information on lithosphere-scale structure is rapidly becoming an important component of modern exploration and hazard-mitigation frameworks 1,[4][5][6][7] . It is also essential to understanding the origin, evolution and destruction of cratons and the physico-chemical interactions between the lithosphere and the sublithospheric mantle.…”

The Magmatic Architecture of Continental Flood Basalts I: Observations From the Deccan Traps

“…A number of other studies in LIPs and other magmatic systems have illustrated that pre‐existing zones of lithospheric and crustal weakness play a critical role in magma transport (e.g., Alghamdi et al., 2018; Begg et al., 2018; Latyshev et al., 2019; Magee, Muirhead, et al., 2019; Peace et al., 2018). We note that the conclusions of our compilation with respect to the size of individual upper crustal magma bodies differs strongly from the results in Bhattacharji et al.…”
