the noorabad-kermanshah ophiolite is part of eastern mediterranean-zagros-oman tethyan ophiolites, that this area is located in south-southwest of the main zagros thrust fault. this ophiolite consists of peridotites, serpentinites and pegmatite gabbros as mantle sequence whereas crustal sequences are composed of locally layered gabbros, isotropic gabbros, sheeted dike complex, basaltic to andes...

This paper presents a new technique to measure water concentrations in small volcanic glasses such as melt inclusions. The technique uses Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) micro-reflectance spectroscopy, and thus does not require a doubly polished sample. To enhance the signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio, a vacuum pump and a narrow-band mercury-cadmium-telluride (MCT) detector were introduced into th...

Intraplate volcanism initiated shortly after the cessation of Cenozoic seafloor spreading in the South China Sea (SCS) region, but the full extent of its influence on the Indochina block has not been well constrained. Here we present major and trace element data and Sr-Nd-Pb-Hf isotope ratios of late Cenozoic basaltic lavas from the Khorat plateau and some volcanic centers in the Paleozoic Sukh...
