Iron isotopic fractionation by magmatic-hydrothermal fluid-melt interaction in the Himalayan leucogranites [PDF]
Iron (Fe) isotopes have been used to trace magmatic evolution (e.g., mineral fractional crystallization, partial melting degree, and fluid exsolution), but the behavior of Fe isotopes in magmatic-hydrothermal processes remains poorly constrained. Here we

Controls on δ26Mg variability in three Central European headwater catchments characterized by contrasting bedrock chemistry and contrasting inputs of atmospheric pollutants. [PDF]
Magnesium isotope ratios (26Mg/24Mg) can provide insights into the origin of Mg pools and fluxes in catchments where Mg sources have distinct isotope compositions, and the direction and magnitude of Mg isotope fractionations are known.

Integrated optical and radar remote sensing for litho-structural mapping of the Kerdous and Ait Abdellah inliers, western Anti-Atlas, Morocco [PDF]
Although field investigations constitute the cornerstone of geological studies, yet its application is often constrained by limited accessibility, time consumption, and high costs particularly in complex or remote terrains.

Bacterial community of cushion plant Thylacospermum ceaspitosum on elevational gradient in the Himalayan cold desert. [PDF]
Although bacterial assemblages are important components of soils in arid ecosystems, the knowledge about composition, life-strategies and environmental drivers is still fragmentary, especially in remote high-elevation mountains.

The 1.79 Ga Särkilahti leucogranite – a horizontal magma layer below granulite-grade migmatites in SE Finland [PDF]
The heterogeneous, peraluminous Särkilahti garnet-cordierite leucogranite occupies ~ 75 km2 area in Svecofennian granulite-grade terrain of SE Finland. Country rocks are metasedimentary garnet-cordierite-biotite migmatites with some orthopyroxenegarnet ...

Relationships between sanukitoids and crust-derived melts and their implications for the diversity of Neoarchaean granitoids: A case study from Surmansuo and nearby areas, Eastern Finland [PDF]
We present new isotopic data (U-Pb and Sm-Nd) from the Neoarchean granitoids of the Lentua complex, which is a part of the Western Karelia subprovince of the Fennoscandian Shield.
