Abstract The Rio Grande Rise (RGR) is a major submarine feature in the South Atlantic that plays an important role in regional oceanographic dynamics. This study presents new U‐Pb geochronology of sedimentary rocks from the RGR, offering direct age constraints on carbonate and apatite embedded within Fe‐Mn crusts and associated foraminifera fossils ...

Abstract Watershed sediment production is expected to increase in a warmer future with more extreme rain, with cascading effects throughout drainage and sediment‐transport networks. This study investigated landscape‐scale sediment movement in the eastern San Francisco Bay area, California, USA, during the extreme 2016–2017 wet season that brought major

Abstract The Cenozoic topographic growth of the Iranian Plateau, situated at the Arabia‐Eurasia collision front, provides insights into continental collision dynamics. However, the relative contributions of tectonic shortening versus deep mantle processes to crustal thickening remain debated because systematic quantitative constraints on paleo‐crustal ...

Oxygen Fugacity Buffers and an Interactive Calculator
Abstract Oxygen fugacity buffers are equilibrium phase assemblages that constrain the chemical potential of oxygen. They may be coexisting minerals or fluids, or their metastable extrapolations. Oxygen fugacity values vary as a function of pressure and temperature, such that raw numbers often have little interpretive value.

Abstract Meteorites serve as an exceptional source of insight into our planet and the Solar System. Most meteorite fragments were recovered hundreds to thousands of years after their fall, and therefore exhibit varying degrees of terrestrial weathering, which has altered or completely removed weather‐sensitive mineral phases.

Abstract The presence of minor minerals is a key factor distinguishing meteorite types, as they provide valuable insights into the formation processes, surface conditions, and evolutionary history of their parent bodies. In Martian nakhlites, one of the most distinctive minor phases is iron‐titanium oxides forming characteristic skeletal textures ...

Abstract The Cenozoic India–Eurasia collision drove widespread deformation across Central Asia, culminating in northward indentation of the Pamir and its eventual contact with the South Tianshan. However, the timing and kinematics of Pamir–Tianshan convergence, as well as its influence on regional topography and climate, remain debated. Here, we report

Abstract The Sangre de Cristo Range in southern Colorado records a complex tectonic history that includes Late Cretaceous–Eocene Laramide contraction and Oligocene–Quaternary Rio Grande rift extension. We present new thermochronologic data (40Ar/39Ar, fission‐track, (U‐Th)/He) and thermal history models that provide insight into this polyphase history ...

Abstract The assembly of Gondwana involved several Pan‐African orogens, although their extension into ice‐covered Antarctica remains contentious. Particularly problematic is our understanding of the Kuunga orogenic system in East Antarctica, including its eroded architecture and temporal evolution. The remote Charcot Province, at the easternmost extent

Single‐crystal X‐ray diffuse scattering combined with Monte Carlo simulations and 3D‐ΔPDF analysis reveals complex short‐range order in mannardite, involving coupled Ba–Ba interactions within and between tunnels and framework relaxation.Mannardite, Ba[(Ti4+)6(V3+)2]O16, a mineral of the hollandite supergroup, is characterized by a tunnel structure ...
