Iain Neill; Khachatur Meliksetian; Mark B. Allen; Gevorg Navasardyan, and Klaudia F. Kuiper · 2015

Catalogue summary

Using geochemical and isotope evidence from young Armenian lavas, this study investigates mantle processes after Arabia–Eurasia collision. It weighs competing explanations for recent magmatism and argues against a simple regional delamination account.

Why this matters

It provides a source-based view of Armenia's physical landscape and its place in the geological history of the Caucasus.
