Intraplate volcanism triggered by bursts in slab flux
Long-lived, widespread intraplate volcanism without age progression is one of the most controversial features of plate tectonics. The eastern margin of Australia and Zealandia has …

Intraplate volcanism triggered by bursts in slab flux
Modelling 100 million years of subducted slab volume reveals that bursts in slab flux trigger intraplate volcanism in eastern Australia.
