Metamorphism in an accretionary prism: prehnite-pumpellyite facies metamorphism of the Southern Uplands of Scotland [PDF]

, 1980
The lower Palaeozoic rocks of the Southern Uplands of Scotland have been interpreted as an accretionary prism of slivers of oceanic basalt and associated deep sea sediments situated on the northern margin of the lape tus Ocean.

Multi‐Hazard Shaking‐Tsunami Fatality Risk Estimation for Coastal Communities

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study develops a multi‐hazard fatality risk model for a coastal community (Tofino) on Vancouver Island, Canada, subjected to earthquake‐tsunami threats from the Cascadia subduction megathrust events. The model incorporates variable population distributions and uncertain fatality rate models, in addition to other key model components, such

Chronic thermal stress affects growth, liver morphology and molecular responses but allows recovery at optimal temperature in juvenile zebrafish (Danio rerio)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Climate‐driven aquatic heatwaves pose an increasing threat to fish populations by inducing prolonged thermal stress. However, the resilience of teleosts to chronic heat exposure and their capacity for recovery remains poorly understood. This study investigated the effects of chronic high‐temperature exposure on juvenile zebrafish (Danio rerio).

Pervasive near-surface stratal disruption in an accretionary prism setting: Kaczawa Complex, SW Poland [PDF]

, 2016
The tectonized and metamorphosed mudrocks within the Variscan accretionary prism of the Kaczawa Mountains in SW Poland comprise sedimentary mélanges together with more coherent stratigraphic units; some represent large olistoliths deposited in a ...

Progressive Deformation Patterns from an Accretionary Prism (Helminthoid Flysch, Ligurian Alps, Italy)

Geosciences, 2020
This paper reports the results of a field-based structural investigation of a well-exposed paleo-accretionary prism, which experienced complex deformation in a low-grade metamorphic setting. Field analyses focused on the description of structural fabrics,

Mineralogy, mineral chemistry, and redox equilibria in ten aggregate particles from asteroid Bennu

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Examination of 10 Bennu aggregate particles has revealed the presence of many phases which taken together can provide constraints on the oxygen fugacity (fO2) of Bennu samples. Phyllosilicates (saponite and serpentine), carbonates, oxides (magnetite, chromite), sulfides (pyrrhotite, pentlandite), phosphate (hydroxyapatite, Na‐Mg‐phosphate ...

GEOCHRONOLOGY OF THE METAMORPHIC ROCKS IN THE KURAI ACCRETIONARY PRISM (SOUTH-EASTERN GORNY ALTAI)

Геодинамика и тектонофизика, 2017
The paper provides a review of the published and new geological and geochronological data on the metamorphic rocks in the Kurai accretionary prism, considering the evolution of the Kuznetsk-Altai island-arc paleosubduction channel of the Siberian ...

Inverted Magma-rich Versus Magma-poor Rifted Margins: Implications for Early Orogenic Systems

Tektonika, 2023
Mountain belts are often the result of former inverted rifts or rifted margins. Up to date, relics of magma-poor rifted margins have been found in orogens allowing the investigation of how these margins reactivate and control the formation of mountain ...

Structural adjustment and the contemporary sub-Saharan African city [PDF]

, 1999
Although it has been suggested that structural adjustment policies have slowed Third World urban growth and have stimulated a spatial deconcentration of economic activity, this paper argues that African cities continue to grow and mainly through peri ...

Sedimentology of silica granules and haematite in the 3.47 Ga Antarctic Creek Member, Mount Ada Basalt, Western Australia

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Paleoarchean Antarctic Creek Member of the Mount Ada Basalt, Eastern Pilbara Terrane, Western Australia, includes beds of jasper and white chert composed of sand‐sized silica granules that often contain or are mixed with silt‐sized particles of haematite.
