Greenhouse Gases: Science and Technology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Reliable characterization of mineralogical and textural changes in rock samples is essential for understanding fluid–rock interactions, particularly in experimental studies simulating subsurface conditions. This study presents a reproducible protocol for scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis of rock surfaces before and after exposure to ...

Extremely low long‐term erosion rates around the Gamburtsev Mountains in interior East Antarctica [PDF]
, 2010 The high elevation and rugged relief (>3 km) of the Gamburtsev Subglacial Mountains (GSM) have long been considered enigmatic. Orogenesis normally occurs near plate boundaries, not cratonic interiors, and large‐scale tectonic activity last occurred in ...

Detrital zircon of 4.1 Ga in South China [PDF]
Chinese Science Bulletin, 2012 One hadean zircon from the Cambrian sandstone in the southern part of South China has a U-Pb age of 4107±29 Ma with ɛ Hf(t) value similar to that of the homochronous depleted mantle and Hf model age of 4102±21 Ma. This demonstrates the existence of hadean crustal remnant in South China.

Mesozoic–Cenozoic Thermochronology of the Tarim–Southern Tianshan System, NW China
Geological Journal, EarlyView.Tectonothermal history of the Tarim–Southern Tianshan system compared with the major tectonic events at far‐field plate margins. ABSTRACT The Tarim Basin, an oil‐bearing basin in northwest China, is tectonically and sedimentologically linked to the Southern Tianshan Orogenic Belt.

Metamictization and chemical durability of detrital zircon
American Mineralogist, 2001 We have investigated the effect that metamictization has on the weathering of zircon in detrital continental sediments and tropical soils of the Amazon basin, Brazil. The degree of radiation damage in the near-surface region of the zircon grains was determined by Raman microprobe. In each of the four series investigated (i.e., sediment, podzol, topsoil,

ReMoDe – Recursive modality detection in distributions of ordinal data
British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.Abstract The detection of the number of modes in distributions of ordinal data is relevant for applied researchers across disciplines, from uncovering polarization to detecting incidence groups in clinical symptom scales. Yet, established modality detection methods are either purely descriptive or not developed for ordinal data.

Australian-derived detrital zircons in the Permian-Triassic Gympie terrane (eastern Australia): evidence for an autochthonous origin [PDF]
, 2015 The Tasmanides in eastern Australia record accretionary processes along the eastern Gondwana margin during the Phanerozoic. The Gympie terrane is the easternmost segment of the Tasmanides, but whether its origin was autochthonous or allochthonous is a ...

Palaeowinds and depositional conditions from Holocene loess in Sweden and Finland
Boreas, EarlyView.The nature of deglacial and Holocene wind regimes in Fennoscandia is debated, as is the degree to which wind‐blown loess deposits exist in the region. Loess deposits in Fennoscandia are often relatively thin, discontinuous and less well‐sorted than typical loess, and questions remain over the degree of their post‐depositional reworking and the impact ...
