Late Precambrian U-Pb titanite age for peak regional metamorphism and deformation (Knoydartian orogeny) in the western Moine, Scotland [PDF]
, 2003 There has been controversy over the number and timing of orogenies in the Precambrian Moine block in the Scottish Caledonides since the earliest radiometric dating in the 1960s. This work challenges a recent hypothesis, that this sector of the Laurentian

Magma oceans and enhanced volcanism on TRAPPIST-1 planets due to induction heating
, 2017 Low-mass M stars are plentiful in the Universe and often host small, rocky planets detectable with the current instrumentation. Recently, seven small planets have been discovered orbiting the ultracool dwarf TRAPPIST-1\cite{Gillon16,Gillon17}. We examine

A Common Origin for Ridge-and-Trough Terrain on Icy Satellites by Sluggish Lid Convection [PDF]
, 2015 Ridge-and-trough terrain is a common landform on outer Solar System icy satellites. Examples include Ganymede's grooved terrain, Europa's gray bands, Miranda's coronae, and several terrains on Enceladus.

An Evaluation of Proposed Mechanisms of Slab Flattening in Central Mexico [PDF]
, 2010 Central Mexico is the site of an enigmatic zone of flat subduction. The general geometry of the subducting slab has been known for some time and is characterized by a horizontal zone bounded on either side by two moderately dipping sections.

Forward and inverse three-dimensional P wave velocity models of the southern California crust [PDF]
, 1992 We construct a three-dimensional P wave velocity model of the southern California crust by combining existing one-dimensional models, each describing a region defined by surface geology, and calibrate the model with travel times from three explosions ...
