Terrigenous dissolved organic matter persists in the energy-limited deep groundwaters of the Fennoscandian Shield [PDF]
Dissolved organic matter in the Fennoscandian Shield deep continental bedrock fracture waters of varying characteristics and ages carries a strong terrigenous signature, and only a small proportion of this potential energy source links to the deep ...

Energy efficiency and biological interactions define the core microbiome of deep oligotrophic groundwater [PDF]
Ecological constraints on microbial niches in oligotrophic deep groundwaters remain elusive. This study provides support for the existence of a common core microbiome in two deep groundwater biomes of the Fennoscandian Shield using a genome-resolved ...

HETEROGENEOUS LITHOSPHERIC STRUCTURE OF THE FENNOSCANDIAN SHIELD: SEISMIC DATA
A generalization has been obtained based on the data for deep seismic studies on longitudinal DSS profiles (explosion seismology) and seismological evidence found for local and distant earthquakes (earthquake seismology) in the Fennoscandian Shield over ...

The Fennoscandian Shield deep terrestrial virosphere suggests slow motion ‘boom and burst’ cycles [PDF]
Karin Holmfeldt et al. sequence metagenomes and metatranscriptomes of viruses in deep groundwaters down to 448 m below the surface. The results reveal ecological dynamics of viruses including slow motion ‘boom and burst’ cycles and a ‘kill the winner ...

Precambrian lithospheric evolution of the Fennoscandian Shield
Generalized reconstructions have been made on the basis of integrated DSS and CDP data and seismological evidence of local and remote earthquakes obtained for the Fennoscandian Shield over the last forty years.

Intracratonic Palaeoproterozoic granitoids in northern Finland: Prolonged and episodic crustal melting events revealed by Nd isotopes and U-Pb ages on zircon [PDF]
Zircons from twelve Palaeoproterozoic granitoids from the Central Lapland Granitoid Complex (CLGC) and from the Hetta Complex (HC) in northern Finland were dated using the NORDSIM ion microprobe.

Deep seismic studies in the southeastern Fennoscandian Shield
The modern concept of the deep structure of the earth crust of the Ladoga-Bothnian zone, based on analysis and summing-up of all available information obtained in the last 35 years, is presented.
