Spreading ridge migration enabled by plume-ridge de-anchoring
Numerical modelling shows that high-buoyancy mantle plumes can capture and de-anchor spreading ridges, enabling their migration over vast distances.

Duration of Sturtian 'Snowball Earth' glaciation linked to exceptionally low mid-ocean ridge outgassing
Exceptionally low mid-ocean ridge CO2 outgassing sustained the Sturtian Snowball Earth glaciation for over 50 million years.

Kimberlite eruptions driven by slab flux and subduction angle
Machine learning reveals that the volume and angle of subducted oceanic plates control where and when diamond-bearing kimberlite eruptions occur.
