Low Temperature Magnetic Properties of the Late Archean Boolgeeda Iron Formation (Hamersley Group, Western Australia): Environmental Implications [PDF]
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2015 The origin of the iron oxides in Archean and Paleoproterozoic Banded Iron Formations is still a debated question. We report low and high temperature magnetic properties, susceptibility and saturation magnetization results joined with scanning microscope ...

Archean crust-mantle geodynamic regimes: A review
Geosystems and Geoenvironment, 2022 The crust-mantle dynamic system of the formation and evolution of the early Earth crust is a frontier field in current Earth Science. This paper mainly introduces the popular dynamic models, comprising the stagnant-lid, mantle plume, sagduction, dripping,

The Mantle Fe3+/ΣFe Ratio Has Doubled Since the Early Archean [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsHow mantle redox state developed, particularly the mantle source associated with mid-ocean ridge-like settings, remains a subject of ongoing debate. Here, we employ thermodynamic-thermomechanical numerical simulations to explore the redox properties of ...

Archean phosphorus liberation induced by iron redox geochemistry
Nature Communications, 2018 Phosphorus is presumed to have been a limiting nutrient in the Archean ocean due to binding to iron oxides. Here, the authors show the heating of iron with phosphate results in the reduction of phosphate to the ion phosphite, which is solubilized and ...

Growth of the Archean sialic crust as revealed by zircon in the TTGs in eastern Finland [PDF]
Bulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 2021 U–Pb age determinations on zircon from granitoids in the Archean of eastern Finland were conducted using the SIMS, LA-ICP-MS and TIMS techniques, with an emphasis on low-HREE granitoids.

Secular change of tectonic setting in the Archean Takanen greenstone belt, northeastern Karelia Province, Fennoscandian Shield [PDF]
Bulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 2023 The target of this study is the Takanen greenstone belt (TGB), a small 11-km-long and east-west oriented supracrustal belt in the northern Lentua complex of the Western Karelia Subprovince (eastern Finland).

Precambrian tsunamis in the light of the modern data
Известия высших учебных заведений: Геология и разведка, 2023 Background. In the geological history of the Earth, tsunami events attract particular research attention. Such events are assumed to have taken place already since the Precambrian period.

Some new insights into the geochronology of the Western Karelia Subprovince, Finnish Lapland [PDF]
Bulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 2020 Archean terranes are generally poorly exposed and structurally complicated, making models of geological evolution difficult to establish. Because of pervasive metamorphism, strong deformation, and poorly exposed bedrock, the stratigraphy, geochronology ...
