Spatial and temporal variability in Hawaiian hotspot volcanism induced by small-scale convection (2011, background): “These predictions are robust and fall close to the uncertainty of constraints for Hawaii as based on published data and/or model”
Constraints on the depths and temperatures of basaltic magma generation on Earth and other terrestrial planets using new thermobarometers for mafic magmas (2009, background): “Although most planetary mantles are peridotitic and hence contain both of these phases, there is growing evidence that some terrestrial basaltic magmas might include a component derived from olivine-free sources, such as pyroxenites (Hirschmann et al., 2003; Sobolev et al., 2005; Herzberg, 2006).”
