The Awash River basin is facing significant groundwater quality challenges. The intrinsic vulnerability of aquifers to pollution is determined by a new method that was developed by adding lineament density (LD) in the DRASTIC model. The highest vulnerability zones increased to 27% with the addition of land use/land‐cover and LD and coincided with ...

Discriminating fluid source regions in orogenic gold deposits using B-isotopes [PDF]
The genesis of orogenic gold deposits is commonly linked to hydrothermal ore fluids derived from metamorphic devolatilization reactions. However, there is considerable debate as to the ultimate source of these fluids and the metals they transport ...

Abstract Deep fracture‐hosted fluids of Precambrian bedrock cratons are relatively stagnant over long time spans compared to near‐surface systems. However, episodic events, such as fracture reactivations, transgressions, and deglaciations, may introduce dilute water, replacing, and mixing with the deep continental brines, thereby sparking microbial ...

Strain patterns, décollement and incipient sagducted greenstone terrains in the Archaean Dharwar craton (south India) [PDF]
The Archaean Dharwar craton is characterized by two greenstone successions: the > 3 Ga Sargur Group and the 3.0-2.5 Ga Dharwar Supergroup. Examples of both successions are described from the region of Jayachamarajapura where they are also distinguished ...

Geological factors affecting on after-use of Finnish cut-over peatlands : with implications on the carbon accumulation [PDF]
In Finland, peat harvesting sites are utilized down almost to the mineral soil. In this situation the properties of mineral subsoil are likely to have considerable influence on the suitability for the various after-use forms.

Tectonic significance of Late Precambrian calc-alkaline and alkaline magmatism in Saint Katherina Area, Southern Sinai, Egypt [PDF]
Two magmatic rock suites are distinguished in the Late Precambrian basement of the Southern Sinai (NW Arabian-Nubian Shield, Egypt), namely (a) a calc-alkaline suite, and (b) an alkaline suite.

Microstructures associated with the Sottunga-Jurmo shear zone and their implications for the 1.83–1.79 Ga tectonic development of SW Finland [PDF]
This petrographic study of rock samples from the area of a large-scale shear zone, the Sottung-Jurmo shear zone, in SW Finland, illuminates the thermal development of and strain distribution within the rocks during the last development stages of the ...

Late Svecofennian leucogranites of southern Finland : Chronicles of an orogenic collapse [PDF]
Leucogranite magmatism occurred in southern Finland during the later stages of the Paleoproterozoic Svecofennian orogeny. The leucogranites are considered to have formed from pre-existing crustal rocks that have undergone anatexis in the extensional ...
