Location, Location, Location: Monazite Behaviour During UHT Metamorphism and Melt Crystallization

Journal of Metamorphic Geology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Monazite is a robust mineral for recording the suprasolidus evolution of migmatites and granulites. However, monazite commonly has diverse compositions and yields variable dates in a single sample; understanding the controls on monazite behaviour and composition during partial melting and melt crystallization are not always straightforward ...

Rare Earth and High Field Strength Element Partitioning Between Iron-Rich Clinopyroxenes and Felsic Liquids [PDF]

, 2010
Rare earth elements are commonly assumed to substitute only for Ca in clinopyroxene because of the similarity of ionic radii for REE3+ and Ca2+ in 8-fold coordination.

Nondestructive analysis of Bennu samples toward comparative studies with Ryugu samples

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Analyzing primitive extraterrestrial samples from asteroids is key to understanding the evolution of the early solar system. The OSIRIS‐REx mission returned samples from the B‐type asteroid Bennu, providing a valuable opportunity to compare them with the Ryugu samples collected by the Hayabusa2 mission.

Field‐based evaluation of glass cullet as a supplementary sediment source for coastal restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
There is an ever‐increasing demand for sand to support projects like beach nourishment and dune restoration, but dredging and mining sand causes environmental damage. Demonstrating the environmental and ecological compatibility of crushed and ground glass known as cullet to support coastal restoration projects could simultaneously divert waste from ...

Restoring the lost Ericaceae of Botany Bay's scrublands through a paleoecological approach in southeastern Sydney, Australia

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction With anthropogenic environmental change accelerating, incorporating long‐term perspectives into ecological restoration is essential. Paleoecological evidence increasingly indicates that many perceived “natural” landscapes under current conservation regimes are, in fact, cultural or modern systems.

P‐T‐t‐d Evolution of Low‐Grade Metamorphic Xenotime, Eastern Alps (Austria)

Terra Nova, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In situ LA‐ICP‐MS U‐Pb dating of xenotime was used to establish the age of low‐grade metamorphism in Permian metasediments of the Austroalpine Unit (Eastern Alps, Austria). Complexly zoned xenotime in chloritoid‐bearing metasedimentary samples possesses distinct MREE‐rich domains. In the eastern sample, this domain yielded a date of c. 135 Ma,

Giant Porphyry Copper Deposits Caused by a Slab Jamming in the Mantle Transition Zone

Terra Nova, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Two giant porphyry copper deposits in the Southern Central Andes formed during the Miocene–Pliocene transition when a bend in the subducting Juan de Fernández hotspot chain jammed in the mantle transition zone, causing mega‐scale slab‐kinking. This geometry implies mechanical resistance that caused East–West compression and eventually a thrust‐

Gypsum Gardens: Self-Assembled Tubular Structures of Calcium Sulfate with Relevance for the Detection of Extraterrestrial Life. [PDF]

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl
Chemical gardens are self‐assembled architectures with “life‐like” morphologies that form in the absence of any biological activity. Here we show that such structures can also be obtained by contacting reservoirs of calcium and sulfate ions, under conditions that plausibly emulate those prevailing on early Mars.

The role of data modelling in a modern geological survey [PDF]

, 2015
Data models are key elements in understanding the meaning (semantics) of data and communicating the information requirements for geoscientific-environmental research. The British Geological Survey (BGS) models its data to provide an understanding of: the

Soil, grain and water chemistry and human selenium imbalances in Enshi district, Hubei Province, China [PDF]

, 1996
Many elements which are essential to human and other animal health in small doses can be toxic if ingested in excess. Selenium (Se), a naturally occurring metalloid element is found in all natural materials on earth including rocks, soils, waters, air,
