Weichselian history of the Fennoscandian Ice Sheet centre, Kvarken archipelago, western Finland—flow shifts, thermal regime and deglaciation

Boreas, EarlyView.
Rapid thaw of the Earth's cryosphere in response to anthropogenic warming highlights the need to identify and understand the contrasting signatures of past ice‐sheet stability and collapse. The Kvarken archipelago, western Finland, at the centre of the former Fennoscandian Ice Sheet (FIS), has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in recognition

Scientists’ warning on the global destruction of rock outcrop ecosystems

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Rock outcrops are geological formations that harbor a highly specialized biota adapted to harsh environmental conditions that differ from their surrounding landscapes. They are globally distributed, especially in old, highly weathered landscapes, and can function as habitat islands containing high levels of endemism and distinct evolutionary ...

Pb age of inherited zircons from leucosomes in grey gneisses of the Salma and Gridino study areas, Belomorian province

Transactions of the Karelian Research Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 2018
Inherited zircons in leucosomes from the Salma and Gridino study areas have been studied. The leucosomes were formed in Palaeoproterozoic shear zones crossw-cutting Archaean tonalite-trondhjemite-granodiorite (grey) gneisses that host amphibolites with ...

Jadeite in Continental Subduction: Its Preservation, Breakdown and Pseudomorphic Replacement in Erzgebirge UHP Gneisses

Journal of Metamorphic Geology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The absence of jadeite in regions where subduction of continental crust has been documented by other high‐pressure (HP) or ultrahigh‐pressure (UHP) minerals is striking. This study presents only the second discovery of jadeite in the crystalline rocks of the Erzgebirge, a region known for its occurrences of microdiamond, coesite and omphacite ...

Variable Sr Diffusion and Implications for Rb–Sr Biotite Geochronology

Journal of Metamorphic Geology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rubidium–strontium (Rb–Sr) system has a long pedigree as a geochronological tool that relies on the application of an isochron approach. In particular, biotite contains strongly radiogenic Rb–Sr isotopes, and thus can yield meaningful crystallisation or cooling ages via this approach. However, the response of the Rb–Sr system in biotite to

The Lomagundi-Jatuli carbon isotopic event recorded in the marble of the Tandilia System basement, Río de la Plata Craton, Argentina [PDF]

, 2019
The “Lomagundi-Jatuli event” corresponds to the most important δ13C positive anomaly (≥5‰) globally reported in Palaeoproterozoic marine carbonates (between ∼2.30 and 2.06 Ga).

Vertical profiling of shock attenuation at the Rochechouart impact structure, France

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Rochechouart, south‐west France, is a complex impact structure. Here, we present the first report of shock barometry of quartz from what are likely parautochthonous basement units at depth, based on samples from the 2017 C.I.R.I.R drilling campaign. The crystallographic orientations of 725 sets of PDFs in 512 quartz grains in samples from four

A geophysical investigation of the Roter Kamm impact crater, Namibia

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The Roter Kamm impact crater is located in the southern Namib Desert. The crater has a diameter of 2.5 km and belongs to the category of simple, bowl‐shaped impact craters, with an elevated rim of fractured target rock. The crater's interior is completely buried beneath sediments, preventing extensive surface investigations of the bedrock ...

New age data on the geological evolution of Southern India [PDF]

The Peninsular Gneisses of Southern India developed over a period of several hundred Ma in the middle-to-late Archaean. Gneisses in the Gorur-Hassan area of southern Karnataka are the oldest recognized constituents: Beckinsale et al.
