On the relative temperatures of Earth's volcanic hotspots and mid-ocean ridges

Xiyuan Bao et al.

Summary: Research suggests that volcanic hotspots vary greatly in temperature, with some being extremely hot, some cold, and others not hot enough to actively upwell. Cold hotspots may originate from the upper mantle depth or be cooled by small-scale convection.

Discovery of davemaoite, CaSiO3-perovskite, as a mineral from the lower mantle

Oliver Tschauner et al.

Summary: Calcium silicate perovskite, known as davemaoite, is a geochemically important phase in the lower mantle, concentrating elements like thorium and uranium. The discovery of compositional heterogeneity within the lower mantle in davemaoite suggests its influence on the heat budget of the deep mantle. Further observations reveal the presence of potassium in davemaoite, in addition to uranium and thorium, making it thermodynamically stable in the deep mantle.
