Neoarchean Arc Magmatism and Crust Recycling in the Northern Marginal Zone of the Limpopo Complex, Zimbabwe: New Insights From Zircon U‐Pb‐Hf Isotopes of a Charnockite Suite

Geological Journal, Volume 61, Issue 3, Page 566-592, March 2026.
Charnockites with 2691–2607 Ma magmatic ages from the NMZ show arc‐magmatic geochemical signatures. They correspond to the lower‐crustal equivalent of the Chilimanzi Suite Granite in the Zimbabwe Craton. Lu‐Hf isotopic data of magmatic zircons show negative εHf(t) values (−11.18 to −2.20) with TDMC ages of 3699–3158 Ma, suggesting their protolith ...

Single Piezometric Stress Preserved in Strained Feldspar and Quartz From Intracontinental Lower Crust

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract The strength of the intracontinental lower crust exerts a primary control on regional‐scale deformation during continent‐continent collision. Because of the nominally anhydrous nature of much of the intracontinental lower crust, it is generally considered to be more viscous than lower crust in hydrated tectonic margins.

Prismatine: Revalidation for Boron-Rich Compositions in the Kornerupine Group [PDF]

, 1996
Kornerupine and prismatine were introduced independently by Lorenzen in 1884 (but published in 1886 and 1893) and by Sauer in 1886, respectively. Ussing (1889) showed that the two minerals were sufficiently close crystallographically and chemically to be

Multi‐Method Geochronology and P‒T Modeling Unravels the Thermo‐Tectonic History of the Rudall Province, Western Australia

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract The Rudall Province (RP) is a Paleo‐Mesoproterozoic belt that records numerous overprinting tectono‐metamorphic events. Situated on the eastern edge of the West Australian Craton (WAC), the RP represents a key area for understanding the Proterozoic assembly and subsequent tectonic history of Western Australia.

Assessing Pb Isotopic Equilibrium Between Apatite and K‐Feldspar

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Quantifying common Pb, the non‐radiogenic Pb present in a mineral independent of in situ U decay, is essential for obtaining accurate U–Pb ages in common Pb‐bearing minerals such as apatite. However, constraining the amount and composition of common Pb, as well as the timing of its entrapment, remains a persistent challenge.

Cooling‐Induced Rheological Weakening Along the Nascent Plate Interface—A Mechanism for Catastrophic Subduction Initiation?

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Subduction initiation often begins with slow, forced convergence, switches “on” catastrophically as the slab collapses into the mantle, and then evolves to steady‐state, self‐sustained sinking that drives global plate movements. Numerical models suggest that the collapse phase implies sudden weakening of the plate interface.

Ultrahigh‐Temperature Metamorphism and Near‐Isobaric Cooling of Garnet‐Orthopyroxene Granulite Xenoliths in the Sancheong Anorthosite, Yeongnam Massif, Korea

Journal of Metamorphic Geology, Volume 44, Issue 1, Page 20-46, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Elevated heat flow associated with mafic magmatism in accretionary orogens has often been proposed as a driving mechanism for (ultra)high‐temperature (UHT) metamorphism and anatexis. The Sancheong–Hadong complex, located in the southern Yeongnam Massif, Korea, consists of a ca.

Radiogenic Heating as the Thermal Driver of Himalayan Crustal Heating During Prolonged Thickening

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract The thermal evolution of the crust during continental collision evolves from cold to hot with time, which impacts crustal reworking and differentiation. However, it remains elusive as to the mechanism driving the crust to be hot during the protracted collision.

Precambrian Greenstone Belts of North Baffin Island, Canadian Arctic: Geochronological Constraints on Magmatism and Stratigraphy in the Rae Craton

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract Supracrustal greenstone belts of the Rae craton of north Baffin Island have been historically attributed to the Mary River Group (MRG), a key tectonostratigraphic unit of economic significance. Best‐preserved exposures of supracrustal rocks occur within the Eqe Bay Greenstone Belt.

Tectonothermal Evolution of the NW Wyoming Province: Insights From Coupled Garnet Lu‐Hf and Sm‐Nd Geochronology

Journal of Metamorphic Geology, Volume 43, Issue 8, Page 839-862, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Understanding how Paleoproterozoic orogenic processes shaped the assembly of Laurentia remains a critical puzzle in deciphering Earth's ancient tectonic history. To address this challenge, the Montana metasedimentary terrane in the northwest Wyoming Province, which preserves a complex record of multiple metamorphic episodes, provides a unique ...
