Pairwise sample comparisons and multidimensional scaling of detrital zircon ages with examples from the North American platform, basin, and passive margin settings

open access: yes, 2018
Over the past several decades, the development of highly efficient and low-cost techniques for the acquisition of U-Pb ages has led to the rapid expansion of detrital zircon analysis and interpretation.

A Lithospheric Drip Triggered Green and Colorado River Integration

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract The integration of the Green and Colorado Rivers shifted the continental drainage divide of North America, marking a key event in the hydrological and biogeographical evolution of the continent. Sedimentological and stratigraphic evidence shows that for integration to occur, the Green River likely cut through the Uinta Mountains between 8 and ...

Detrital Zircon Data Support Stronger, Inland‐Tracking Hurricanes During the Miocene Climatic Optimum, Maryland USA

open access: yesPaleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 41, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Climate models run under warmer‐than‐modern conditions indicate that hurricanes pass closer to the US East Coast and show that a higher proportion of tropical cyclones achieve “major hurricane” strength with winds >209 km/hr. Empirical observations indicate that the dominant southward longshore current direction off the US East Coast is ...

Dataset of detrital zircon U–Pb ages and Hf isotopic compositions for the late Paleozoic–Mesozoic strata in the North China block

open access: yesGeoscience Data Journal
The construction of databases of detrital zircon is important for Earth science research. A total of 27,915 U–Pb ages and 4,968 Hf isotopic compositions of detrital zircons from the upper Paleozoic–Mesozoic strata of the North China Block were compiled ...

There were no large volumes of felsic continental crust in the early Earth [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
New model growth curves for the continental crust based upon Hf-isotopes in zircon suggest that large volumes of felsic continental crust were present in the Hadean and early Archaean.

Timing and Style of Tectonic Assembly and Exhumation of the McHugh Complex Within the Chugach‐Kodiak Accretionary Wedge, Alaska

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 45, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Accretionary complexes are key archives of subduction zone processes, preserving records of forearc growth, deformation, and tectonic reorganization. The Chugach–Kodiak accretionary complex of southern Alaska records Jurassic to Cretaceous underplating at shallow to intermediate subduction conditions. The McHugh Complex, an imbricated sequence

Stages of Carboniferous-Triassic magmatism in the Black Sea region based on isotope-geochronological study of detrital zircons from jurassic coarse clastic strata of the Mountainous Crimea

open access: yesГеодинамика и тектонофизика, 2020
The article presents the results of U-Pb isotope dating of detrital zircons from the Jurassic coarse rocks in the apex and the western slope of Mnt. Biyuk-Sinor (the southern wall of the Baidar basin, near the village of Orlinoe).

Detrital zircon typology and U/Pb geochronology for the Miocene Ladrilleros-Juanchaco sedimentary sequence, Equatorial Pacific (Colombia) : new constraints on provenance and paleogeography in northwestern South America [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Typology and internal texture analyses were performed on detrital zircons obtained from the Miocene sandstones of the Ladrilleros-Juanchaco sedimentary sequence (Colombia, Equatorial Pacific).

Chemical Discrimination of Rutile From Different Metamorphic Source Rocks: Dealing With Hierarchical Data Structures in Random Forest Classification

open access: yesJournal of Metamorphic Geology, Volume 44, Issue 2, Page 112-137, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Rutile provides a wealth of petrochronological information in metamorphic geology and due to its high stability during processes of the sedimentary cycle, rutile takes a special position in sedimentary provenance analysis. Besides being one of the classical minerals datable using the U–Pb system, rutile incorporates a broad range of trace ...
