Are Estimates of Lower Continental Crust Bulk Composition Biased Due to Seismic Anisotropy?

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Most seismic inferences on the bulk composition of the lower continental crust are based on P‐wave velocities inferred from seismic wide‐angle data, for which the direction of propagation in the target region is sub‐horizontal. Given the likely presence of anisotropy in many parts of the lower continental crust, these estimates could be biased

Thermodynamic Constraints on H2 Production and Habitability From Mg‐Rich Serpentinites as Mars Analogs

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Serpentinization produces hydrogen and methane through abiotic water‐rock interactions, potentially supporting chemotrophic life in planetary subsurface environments. Serpentine deposits in the Martian Noachian landscapes of Nili Fossae and the Southern Highlands have been considered as potential paleo‐habitable zones. However, the geochemical

Thermobarometry of garnet peridotites and granulites from the Blanský Les Massif [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
English abstract Granulites of Moldanubian Zone are usually characterized by the presence of HP/UHP rocks of mafic and ultramafic compositions. The relationships between UHP rocks and granulites and their metamorphic history are subjects of many ...

Constraining the Protoliths of the Apollo Granulite Suite

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
The Apollo granulite suite represents the metamorphosed products of impact-contaminated polymict and monomict lunar breccias. We combine bulk and mineral major and trace element systematics with noble gas isotopes to constrain the highland lithologies ...

PALEOARCHEAN MAFIC ROCKS OF THE SOUTHWESTERN SIBERIAN CRATON: PRELIMINARY GEOCHRONOLOGY AND GEOCHEMICAL CHARACTERIZATION

open access: yesГеодинамика и тектонофизика, 2017
The Siberian craton consists of Archean blocks, which were welded up into the same large unit by ca 1.9 Ga [Gladkochub et al., 2006; Rojas-Agramonte et al., 2011].

Stealth Metasomatism in Granulites from Ivrea (NW Italy): Hydration of the (Variscan) Lower Crust by Melt Flow

open access: yesGeosciences
Granulites and associated dykes from the less well-studied southern Ivrea–Verbano Zone (around Ivrea town) are characterized by combining field, macro, micro and chemical (major and trace-element mineral composition) data to identify chemical and ...
