Tectonics, Volume 44, Issue 9, September 2025.Abstract The Samburu Series magmas of the East African Rift System are a key component of the Early Miocene magmatic resurgence, marking the initiation of plate‐scale volcanic events associated with extension, distinct from the prior continental flood basalt episodes.

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2009 The outer solar system extends beyond a heliocentric distance of 5 AU. It contains the giant planets and their systems (rings and satellites), the Kuiper belt, the comets (except those which approach episodically the inner solar system) and, at its outer

Journal of Metamorphic Geology, Volume 43, Issue 7, Page 663-680, September 2025.ABSTRACT The youngest known ultrahigh‐pressure (UHP) eclogite from Tumagabuna Island, a small island of the D'Entrecasteaux Islands chain in Papua New Guinea, exhibits zircon U–Pb age variations spanning a few million years. This age variation complicates the interpretation of the evolution of this high and ultrahigh‐pressure ([U]HP) terrane.

The state of knowledge concerning the Kuiper belt [PDF]
The arguments for and against the idea that most short-period comets originate in the Kuiper belt are discussed. Observational constraints on the distribution of mass in the Kuiper belt are reviewed as well as a model of the physical conditions that now ...

The Astrophysical Journal, 2004 When a main sequence star evolves into a red giant and its Kuiper Belt Object's (KBO's) reach a temperature of about 170 K, the dust released during the rapid ice-sublimation of these cometary bodies may lead to a detectable infrared excess at 25 microns, depending upon the mass of the KBO's.

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 8, August 2025.Abstract The Kallianos Au‐Ag‐Te deposit is a Cenozoic orogenic‐style deposit on Evia, hosted in the Cycladic Blueschist Unit. Integrated field observations and isotopic data illustrate a connection between the structural architecture that hosts mineralization in the deposit and the regional stress field associated with a crustal‐scale detachment, the ...

Survey of Cryogenic Nitrogen Thermomechanical Property Data Relevant to Outer Solar System Bodies
Earth and Space Science, 2020 The outer Solar System has many bodies of interest that have continued to captivate the planetary science community, recently Triton, a captured Kuiper belt object (KBO) of Neptune, and Pluto.

A Derivation of the Luminosity Function of the Kuiper Belt from a Broken Power-Law Size Distribution
, 2008 We have derived a model of the Kuiper belt luminosity function exhibited by a broken power-law size distribution. This model allows direct comparison of the observed luminosity function to the underlying size distribution.

On the Early Thermal Processing of Planetesimals during and after the Giant Planet Instability
The Planetary Science JournalBorn as ice-rich planetesimals, cometary nuclei were gravitationally scattered onto their current orbits in the Kuiper Belt and the Oort Cloud during the giant planets’ dynamical instability in the early stages of our solar system’s history.
