Variscan sourcing of Westphalian (Pennsylvanian) sandstones in the Canobie Coalfield, UK [PDF]
The zircon age spectrum in a sample from the Canonbie Bridge Sandstone Formation (Asturian) of southern Scotland contains two main peaks. One is Early Carboniferous in age (348– 318 Ma), and corresponds to the age of igneous activity during the ...

Thermochronology of the modern Indus River bedload: New insight into the controls on the marine stratigraphic record [PDF]
The Indus River is the only major drainage in the western Himalaya and delivers a long geological record of continental erosion to the Arabian Sea, which may be deciphered and used to reconstruct orogenic growth if the modern bedload can be related to ...

Detrital-zircon geochronology and sedimentary provenance [PDF]
The article on sources of Paleozoic sediment in the Grand Canyon by [Gehrels et al. (2011)][1] in the June issue of Lithosphere illuminates progress in studies of sedimentary provenance, which have evolved dramatically during the past fifty years. During my dissertation research at Virginia Tech,

Discordance dating: A new approach for dating alteration events [PDF]
Zircon is the premier geochronometer used to date igneous and metamorphic processes, constrain sediment provenance models, and monitor key events in Earth history such as the growth of continents and the evolution of the biosphere.

Recycling of the Proterozoic crystalline basement in the Coastal Block (Moroccan Meseta): New insights for understanding the geodynamic evolution of the northern peri-Gondwanan realm [PDF]
Detrital zircon age spectra from the siliciclastic rocks of the Lalla Mouchaa Calcschists and El Jadida Dolomitic formations (the Coastal Block of the Moroccan Meseta) are dominated by Paleoproterozoic and Ediacaran ages.

Congo River sand and the equatorial quartz factory [PDF]
A never solved problem in sedimentary petrology is the origin of sandstone consisting exclusively of quartz and most durable heavy minerals. The Congo River offers an excellent test case to investigate under which tectonic, geomorphological, climatic ...

Late Cenozoic metamorphic evolution and exhumation of Taiwan [PDF]
The Taiwan mountain belt is composed of a Cenozoic slate belt (Hsuehshan Range units, HR, and Backbone Slates, BS) and of accreted polymetamorphic basement rocks (Tananao Complex, TC).
