Ocean crustal veins record dynamic interplay between plate-cooling-induced cracking and ocean chemistry (2024)
Journal Article
Evans, A. D., Coggon, R. M., Harris, M., Carter, E. J., Albers, E., Guérin, G. M., …Teagle, D. A. (2025). Ocean crustal veins record dynamic interplay between plate-cooling-induced cracking and ocean chemistry. Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 650, Article 119116. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2024.119116

As ocean crust traverses away from spreading ridges, low-temperature hydrothermal minerals fill cracks to form veins, transforming the physical and chemical properties of ocean crust whilst also modifying the composition of seawater. Vein width and f... Read More about Ocean crustal veins record dynamic interplay between plate-cooling-induced cracking and ocean chemistry.

Volcanic tempo driven by rapid fluctuations in mantle temperature during large igneous province emplacement (2024)
Journal Article
Carter, E. J., Stock, M. J., Beresford-Browne, A., Cooper, M. R., Raine, R., & Fereyrolles, A. (2024). Volcanic tempo driven by rapid fluctuations in mantle temperature during large igneous province emplacement. Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 644, Article 118903. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2024.118903

The generation of Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) is a topic of vigorous debate with competing models variably invoking hot mantle plumes, insulative heating by supercontinents or edge driven convective instabilities. Mantle temperature and its tempor... Read More about Volcanic tempo driven by rapid fluctuations in mantle temperature during large igneous province emplacement.

Depositional system and plant ecosystem responses to long-term low tempo volcanism, the Interbasaltic Formation, Antrim Lava Group (2024)
Journal Article
Beresford-Browne, A., Jolley, D., Millett, J., Stevenson, C., Watt, S., Raine, R., & Carter, E. (2024). Depositional system and plant ecosystem responses to long-term low tempo volcanism, the Interbasaltic Formation, Antrim Lava Group. Geological Society Special Publications, 547(1), 483-509. https://doi.org/10.1144/sp547-2023-75

The Antrim Lava Group of NE Ireland comprises a volcanic sequence dominated by basaltic lava flows. Including subsidiary sedimentary interlayers and some evolved lavas and intrusions, the overall sequence reaches a cumulative thickness of ∼800 m. The...
