Ranking the geothermal potential of radiothermal granites in Scotland: are any others as hot as the Cairngorms? [PDF]
Prior investigations concur that the granite plutons in Scotland which are most likely to prove favourable for geothermal exploration are the Ballater, Bennachie, Cairngorm and Mount Battock plutons, all of which have heat production values greater than ...

A reactive assimilation model for regional-scale cordierite-bearing granitoids: geochemical evidence from the Late Variscan granites of the Central Iberian Zone, Spain [PDF]
Regional scale biotite and cordierite-bearing granites (s.l.) in the Variscan of the Central Iberian Zone (CIZ) are spatially closely associated with cordierite-rich nebulites and cordierite-bearing two-mica granites, and with cordierite-rich high grade ...

Amphibole: A major carrier of helium isotopes in crustal rocks [PDF]
The first evidence for a specific role of amphiboles in He isotope balance of crustal rocks was presented in early contributions by Gerling et al. (1971, 1976).

Age and isotopic fingerprints of some plutonic rocks in the Wiborg rapakivi granite batholith with special reference to the dark wiborgite of the Ristisaari Island [PDF]
The mid-Proterozoic, locus classicus Wiborg rapakivi granite batholith of southeastern Finland and adjacent Russia comprises a varying, bimodal (silicic-basic) sequence of plutonic, subvolcanic, and volcanic rocks. At the current level of erosion silicic

Extensional faulting on Tinos island, Aegean sea, Greece: How many detachments? [PDF]
Zircon and apatite fission track (ZFT and AFT) and (U-Th)/He, 40Ar/39Ar hornblende, and U-Pb zircon ages from the granites of Tinos Island in the Aegean Sea, Greece, suggest, together with published ZFT data, that there are three extensional detachments ...

GRANITES OF THE NORTHERN TIMAN – PROBABLE INDICATORS OF NEOPROTEROZOIC STAGES OF RODINIA BREAKUP
The Northern Timan is an uplifted block of Late Precambrian basement of the Timan Ridge, where Neoproterozoic sedimentary-metamorphic rocks of the Barmin Group are cut by intrusive rocks of different composition and all unconformably overlain by Lower ...

Temporal and Hf isotope geochemical evolution of southern Finnish Lapland from 2.77 Ga to 1.76 Ga [PDF]
The southern Finnish Lapland area in the central part of the Fennoscandian shield is a geologically complex zone comprising several Archean blocks and Paleoproterozoic supracrustal belts all of which are intruded by voluminous Paleoproterozoic granites ...
