Abstract Deciphering Earth's earliest geodynamic processes requires temporally constrained chemical and structural data from rare exposures of ancient rocks. One of the most well‐studied of these exposures is the Acasta Gneiss Complex (AGC) in the Northwest Territories, Canada, which contains the oldest known felsic rocks on Earth.

Abstract Mantle xenoliths recovered from the modern backarc region of the northern Altiplano Plateau record metasomatism by slab‐derived silicic melts, and a suite of Quaternary volcanics suggest that melting of accreted crustal material has persisted since shallow subduction in the Oligocene.

Abstract A diverse range of dikes in the western Lhasa–Qiangtang collision zone provides constraints on the evolution of post‐collisional tectonomagmatic processes and the growth of the Tibetan Plateau. We report geochronological, geochemical, and Sr–Nd–Hf isotopic data for granitic dikes in the Rebang area of the Northern Lhasa Block, northern Tibet ...

Abstract The overriding plate commonly accumulates less strain than the subducted plate during continental collision. Analyzing plate interactions from the perspective of the overriding plate provides important insights into orogenic dynamics. In the southeastern Tibetan Plateau, the Wuliangshan massif, as a key region of the overriding plate, records ...

Savanyú vulkáni üvegek ásványtan-geokémiai vizsgálata, petrológiai és vulkanológiai kiértékelése = Mineralogical and geochemical study of acid volcanic glasses, and its interpretation from petrological and volcanological point of view [PDF]
Változatos lemeztektonikai környezetben képződött obszidián minták fő- és nyomelemtartalmának összehasonlító vizsgálata során megállapítottuk, hogy az eredetileg gránitokra kidolgozott diszkriminációs diagramok alkalmazhatók a savanyú kiömlési kőzetek ...

Abstract The tectono‐stratigraphic development of continental basins is critical to an understanding of continental tectonics and the formation of metal deposits. The Neoproterozoic, inter‐cratonic Katangan copper basin of Central Africa records a tectono‐stratigraphic evolution and the generation of potential metal transporting fluid pathways ...

Abstract The long‐term behavior of high‐level radioactive waste glass depends on the mineralogical and geochemical interactions between the various components of the multibarrier system, under geological repository conditions. The present study focuses on SON68 glass alteration in synthetic cement water and at 50°C and 70°C.

Partial radiogenic heat model for Earth revealed by geoneutrino measurements [PDF]
The Earth has cooled since its formation, yet the decay of radiogenic isotopes, and in particular uranium, thorium and potassium, in the planet’s interior provides a continuing heat source. The current total heat flux from the Earth to space is 44:2±1.0

Profound Impact of Premelting in the HCP‐Structured Earth's Inner Core
Abstract The Earth's inner core shows distinct features, including low shear velocities and a high Poisson's ratio, often linked to hexagonal close‐packed iron (HCP‐Fe) through high‐pressure experiments and calculations. Premelting is proposed as a key mechanism behind the observed shear softening in HCP‐Fe. This study uses magnesium, an HCP‐structured

Trans‐Oceanic Distributed Sensing of Tides Over Telecommunication Cable Between Portugal and Brazil
Abstract Geophysical sensing in the open ocean is both costly and technically challenging. Here we developed a novel distributed fiber optic sensing technique that employs microwave modulation for phase measurement in signals returned from submarine repeaters.
