Support the diamond open access journals in geoscience!

Several really good options covering a broad range of fields.

The new journal @weareagc.bsky.social and the @eageo.bsky.social’s geochemical perspective letters and cover all things geochemistry.

You are right

I decline your invitation to review XXX. In part, this is because I am too busy. In part, I am reluctant to undertake unpaid work for an organisation that made a £3.2 billion profit in 2024.

Selection criteria was arc lavas with Mg# > 60. So some would be classified as adakites but not all.

Generally just linking a rock classification based on somewhat loose compositional parameters to dynamic processes is bound to be over simplistic.

Jumping in for a counter point.

Widespread slab melting in modern subduction zones

It is still a matter of intense debate to what extent partial melting of the subducting slab contributes to arc magmatism in modern subduction zones. …
