Pacific hotspots reveal a Louisville–Ontong Java Nui tectonic link
Nature, Published online: 30 April 2025; doi:10.1038/s41586-025-08889-0Geochemistry and geochronology show that Samoa and Rurutu–Arago are the longest-lived Pacific hotspots, providing better constraints on plate rotation and support for a link between the Louisville volcanic track and the Ontong Java Nui Plateau.
