Ru and W isotope systematics in ocean island basalts reveals core leakage

Ru isotopes are proposed as tracers for core–mantle interaction on Earth, and anomalies for ocean island basalts from Hawaii are reported that have higher ε¹⁰⁰Ru than the ambient mantle.

Transient mobilization of subcrustal carbon coincident with Palaeocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum

A change in the style of rifting in the North Atlantic led to carbon fluxes from subcrustal melting that helped trigger the Palaeocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum, according to geochemical analyses of volcanic sequences as well as melting and tectonic modelling.

Deep formation of Earth’s earliest continental crust consistent with subduction

Early continental crust formed at depth, implying some type of plate tectonics operating as long as 4 billion years ago, according to high-pressure and temperature melting experiments of an analogue material.

Extensive crustal extraction in Earth’s early history inferred from molybdenum isotopes

Steady-state chemical differentiation between Earth’s mantle and crust was reached 3.5 billion years ago, following vigorous crustal recycling, according to mass balance modelling of molybdenum isotopes measured in mantle-derived volcanic rocks.
