The first boninites found in South America? At least they look great in the field - they are mostly submarine volcaniclastic deposits, and probaly unrelated to subduction initiation.
More info on the science in our Lithos paper (or send me a message): sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

I will give a public webinar on drilling submarine volcanoes at the bottom of the south Atlantic Ocean earlier this year (IODP Expedition 391 @ECORD_IODP @uk_iodp @Sci_fOD) - it will be about 30 min long in an informal setting - feel free to join us at 16:00 UTC (17:00 UK time):
Join us for our next GeoTalk on 8 June 2022 at 5 pm!
Dr David Buchs will speak about his recent expedition, sharing some new findings from the poorly understood volcanoes of the Walvis Ridge.

Next GeoTalk on Wednesday 25 May at 5pm.
We'll dive into the reef to explore how coral scientists recover past environmental clues from long-lived corals, and why this information is important to understand how coral reefs will respond to future change.
