An integrated kinematic and geochemical model to determine lithospheric extension and mantle temperature from syn-rift volcanic compositions

We present an integrated kinematic and geochemical model that determines the composition of melts and their residual source rocks generated by decompression melting of the mantle during continental rifting. Our approach is to construct a unified numerical solution that merges an established lithosph...
