The Osmium Isotope Signature of Phanerozoic Large Igneous Provinces

open access: yesGeophysical Monograph Series, Page 229-246., 2021

Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact

An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Using computer-aided image processing to estimate chemical composition of igneous rocks: A potential tool for large-scale compositional mapping

open access: yesSolid Earth Sciences, 2021
Digital cameras, particularly on smartphones, have led to the proliferation of amateur photographers. Of interest here is the use of smartphone cameras to conduct rapid, low-cost compositional mapping of geologic bedrock, such as plutons and batholiths ...

Petrogenesis and Tectonic Implication of Jurassic Granites in Central Guangdong, SE China: Constraints from Zircon U-Pb-Hf-O and Whole-Rock Geochemical and Sr-Nd Isotopic Data [PDF]

open access: yesLithosphere
The origin and tectonic regime responsible for the inland Jurassic granites in Southeast (SE) China remain controversial. This study presents zircon secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) U-Pb ages, in situ zircon Hf-O isotopes, and whole-rock ...

Neodymium Isotope Constraints on the Origin of TTGs and High-K Granitoids in the Bundelkhand Craton, Central India: Implications for Archaean Crustal Evolution

open access: yesLithosphere, 2022
The Bundelkhand craton in central India consists mainly of abundant high-K granitoids formed at the Archaean-Proterozoic boundary and several enclosed rafts of TTGs (tonalite-trondhjemite-granodiorites) up to 3.5 Ga.

The Archaean to Proterozoic igneous rocks of the Pilbara region, Western Australia –internationally significant geology of a globally unique potential geopark

open access: yesInternational Journal of Geoheritage and Parks, 2019
The Pilbara region of Western Australia, covering some 500 km × 500 km, provides a diversity of Archaean to Proterozoic igneous rocks in a relatively compact area that records a younging southward crustal history of igneous activity, sedimentation, early

Highlights on Geochemical Changes in Archaean Granitoids and Their Implications for Early Earth Geodynamics

open access: yesGeosciences, 2018
The Archaean (4.0–2.5 Ga) continental crust is mainly composed of granitoids, whose geochemical characteristics are a function of their formation mechanisms and components, as well as physical conditions of their source.

Activation of Ad Damm shear zone, western Saudi Arabian margin, and its relation to the Red Sea rift system

open access: yesOpen Geosciences, 2022
The Ad Damm shear zone (ADSZ) is a major mylonitic right-lateral structure that bounds the Jeddah terrane to the north from the Asir terrane to the south.

Neoproterozoic magmatic evolution of the southern Ouaddaï Massif (Chad)

open access: yesBSGF - Earth Sciences Bulletin, 2020
This paper presents new petrological, geochemical, isotopic (Nd) and geochronological data on magmatic rocks from the poorly known southern Ouaddaï massif, located at the southern edge of the so-called Saharan metacraton. This area is made of greenschist
