• The Role of Water in Generating the Calc-alkaline Trend: New Volatile Data for Aleutian Magmas and a New Tholeiitic Index (2010, background): “Other processes that increase the primary SiO2 content of a magma include mantle melting at low pressures (Kushiro, 1972; Albare' de, 1992; Rogers et al., 1995; Lee et al., 2009), equilibration of melt with harzburgite (Parman & Grove, 2004; Grove et al.”
• Primary magmas and mantle temperatures through time (2017, methodology): “GANNE AND FENG A NOT SO HOT MANTLE ABOUT 2.5 GYR AGO 872 melting of warmed ambient mantle beneath thick lithospheric keels [Anderson, 2000; Grign e et al., 2005; Lee et al., 2009], has been poorly investigated in the Precambrian record.”
• Thermal Properties of Rocks and Density of Fluids (2014, background): “However, even concentrations of H2O as low as only 0.1 % reduce the standard pressure melting point to *1,340 K, and it actually continues to decrease with pressure, reaching a minimum near 1,270 K at about 3 GPa (Schubert et al. 2001).”
• Subduction styles in the Precambrian: Insight from numerical experiments (2009, background): “However, the genesis of volcanic rocks in the Archean, particularly komatiites, remains controversial, which means that the range of estimated temperatures for the upper mantle varies by several hundreds of degrees (Green, 1975; Arndt and Brooks, 1980; Stone et al., 1997; Arndt et al., 1998; deWit,1”
• Thermal history of the Earth and its petrological expression (2010, background): “At the present time, a mantle potential temperature (i.e., TP) of 1350±50 °C is required to produce primary basaltic magmas having 10–13% MgO (McKenzie and Bickle, 1988; Langmuir et al., 1992; Kinzler, 1997; Herzberg et al., 2007; Courtier et al., 2007; Lee et al., 2009; Gregg et al., 2009).”
