Heat Transfer and Production in Cratonic Continental Crust: U‐Pb Thermochronology of Xenoliths From the Siberian Craton

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2022
Coupled U‐Pb and trace‐element analyses of accessory phases in crustal xenoliths from the Late Devonian Udachnaya kimberlite (Siberian craton, Russia) are used to constrain Moho temperature and crustal heat production at the time of kimberlite eruption ...

Crustal and Upper Mantle Shear Wave Velocity Structure of Botswana: The 3 April 2017 Central Botswana Earthquake Linked to the East African Rift System

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2020
Rayleigh wave group and phase velocity measurements obtained from ambient noise and earthquake data at 51 broadband stations were used to construct the first 3‐D crustal and upper mantle shear wave velocity model of Botswana.

Genesis of the Singhbhum Craton, eastern India; implications for Archean crust-mantle evolution of the Earth

open access: yesChemical Geology, 2019
The Singhbhum Craton in eastern India, one of the four major Archean cratons of the Indian Shield, is underlain by Paleoarchean granitoids (trondhjemite-tonalite-granodiorite i.e.

U-Pb evidence for late Neoarchean crustal reworking in the Southern São Francisco Craton (Minas Gerais, Brazil)

open access: yesAnais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2003
The Passa Tempo Metamorphic Complex is one of several metamorphic complexes that form the Archean sialic crust of the southern São Francisco Craton. It encompasses hypersthene-bearing gneissic rocks, with subordinateNW- or EW-trending mafic-ultramafic ...

Application of fractal analysis for quantitative assessment of critical mineral commodites (on example of Polokhivske lithium deposit)

open access: yesМінеральні ресурси України
The characteristic feature of many deposits of critical raw materials is spatial chaotic fluctuations of grades (strongly skewed and lognormal distributions, soft geological boundaries etc.), which essentially limit the use of traditional economic ...

Craton Destruction Induced by Drastic Drops in Lithospheric Mantle Viscosity

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, 2022
The disruption of the mantle roots of cratons is common after cratonization. Craton destruction, which is characterized by severe lithospheric thinning, extensive thrust and extensional deformation, basin filling, and intense thermal activities, is ...
