Mid- and late-Holocene shoreline changes along the southern coast of the Gulf of Finland [PDF]
In response to glacio-isostatic rebound in Estonia, a relative sea level fall occurred during the mid- and late-Holocene, and as a result, lowland regions in northern Estonia have experienced an evolution from sea to land.

SIMS zircon ages and Nd isotope systematics of the 2.2 Ga mafic intrusions in northern and eastern Finland [PDF]
Using the SIMS, ID-TIMS and Sm-Nd isotopic methods and the electron microprobe, we have studied several differentiated mafic intrusions of the c. 2.2 Ga gabbro-wehrlite association (GWA) from four Paleoproterozoic schist belts and the Archean Kuhmo ...

U-Pb zircon geochronology of selected Archaean migmatites in eastern Finland [PDF]
U-Pb SIMS data on eight samples (four mesosome-leucosome pairs) from migmatites in gneiss complexes are presented from the western part of the Archaean Karelian craton, eastern Finland. Most zircon grains in the mesosomes yield ages between 2.84 Ga and 2.

Age and isotopic fingerprints of some plutonic rocks in the Wiborg rapakivi granite batholith with special reference to the dark wiborgite of the Ristisaari Island [PDF]
The mid-Proterozoic, locus classicus Wiborg rapakivi granite batholith of southeastern Finland and adjacent Russia comprises a varying, bimodal (silicic-basic) sequence of plutonic, subvolcanic, and volcanic rocks. At the current level of erosion silicic

Temporal and Hf isotope geochemical evolution of southern Finnish Lapland from 2.77 Ga to 1.76 Ga [PDF]
The southern Finnish Lapland area in the central part of the Fennoscandian shield is a geologically complex zone comprising several Archean blocks and Paleoproterozoic supracrustal belts all of which are intruded by voluminous Paleoproterozoic granites ...

A pilot Rb-Sr dating of the Suomusjärvi ultramylonite: evidence for major post-Svecofennian deformation in SW Finland [PDF]
The Suomusjärvi shear zone in the West Uusimaa area in the Proterozoic Svecofennides of SW Finland belongs to a group of late, post-peak metamorphic structures comprising vertical shear zones and folds with vertical fold axes.

Three Paleoproterozoic A-type granite intrusions and associated dykes from Kainuu, East Finland [PDF]
Mafic and felsic intrusive rocks aged 2.5-2.4 Ga have been observed over a large area in eastern and northern Finland, as well as in adjacent northwestern Russia. We describe three granite intrusions and associated dykes from Kainuu, Finland, that belong

Timing of late Palaeoproterozoic metamorphism in the northern Belomorian Belt, White Sea region: Conclusions from U-Pb isotopic data and P-T evidence [PDF]
Brilliant-looking zircon crystals from a garnet-amphibolitic, metamorphosed mafic dyke at Lyagkomina in the Lake Kovdozero area, northern Belomorian Belt, most probably mark the 1875±4 Ma age of peak late Palaeoproterozoic regional metamorphism which ...

‘Absolute’ Age: a Meaningless Term [PDF]
I WISH to appeal to my fellow geologists and workers in the rapidly growing subject of geochronology to discontinue a habit or fashion which is both unnecessary and misleading. I refer to the habit of calling radiometric ages ‘absolute’ ages. An age does not become ‘absolute’ by virtue of being expressed in units of time such as a year.
