Wadi Ghadir ophiolite in the Egyptian Eastern Desert, which forms northern part of Nubian Shield, is considered as one best-preserved segments Neoproterozoic oceanic lithosphere on Earth. Primary melt calculations and thermodynamic modeling new geochemical data for pillow lavas dike complexes, integrated with comprehensive petrographic investigations, are here employed to unravel geodynamic evo...

We derive estimates of temperature of the Australian continental mantle between 80 and 350 km depth from two published S-velocity models. Lithospheric temperatures range over about 1000 8C, with a large-scale correlation between temperature and tectonic age. In detail however, variations ranging from 200 to 700 8C occur within each tectonic province. At the current seismic resolution, strictly ...

We present isotopic analysis of helium in hydrothermal fluids from the Manus back-arc basin, collected during the French-Japanese Manusflux and Manaute cruises in 1995 and 2000, respectively. The helium isotope composition of the fluids is comparable to that measured elsewhere in similar subduction environments, with 3He/4He values (7.4 to 7.9 Ra) slightly lower than typical MORB values, except...
