G.O.Joe: A new non‐commercial software tool for the processing of LA‐ICP‐MS trace element data
Key points G.O. Joe is developed to calculate trace element mass fractions including interference corrections. It is a freely accessible and platform‐independent web application to facilitate immediate data evaluation. Key feature is a simple, time‐efficient and flexible workflow to significantly improve data quality in various trace element studies ...

DESTRUCTION OF THE LITHOSPHERE: FAULTBLOCK DIVISIBILITY AND ITS TECTONOPHYSICAL REGULARITIES
A new concept is proposed concerning the origin and inception of ‘initial’ faults and formation of large blocks as a result of cooling of the Archaean lithosphere, during which Benard cells had formed (Fig. 5).

A heat production model for stable continental lithosphere by the inversion of the surface heat flows [PDF]
Obtaining the heat production (HP) in the lithosphere has always been a challenge for the geotherms and evolution of continents. By transforming the nonlinear stable heat conduction equation into a linear Poisson's potential one, we propose a method to infer the HP in the stable continental lithosphere.

Key Points An analytical strategy for determining boron isotope ratios in Ca‐amphiboles using LA‐MC‐ICP‐MS is presented. Accurate δ11B results can be achieved using the USGS BHVO‐2G glass as the calibrating reference material. Two proposed Ca‐amphibole RMs exhibit good homogeneity with δ11B intermediate measurement precision of 2.86‰ and 3.96 (2s). The

Formation of the geological medium boundaries and patterns is specific, but such specific features have not been fully considered yet. No consideration is given to the nature of periodic variations of various parameters of the geological medium from the ...

Earlier spring arrival of migratory birds to breeding sites and advanced breeding often bring enhanced reproductive success but demand good body‐condition. When populations exhibit extensive winter distributions, the differing energetic costs associated with the quality and migration distance to each wintering area can have implications for individual ...

Rifts, orogens, cratons, and global tectonics: Introduction
A key role in developing the Earth theory is played by comparative studies of orogens, rifts, and platforms in the equatorial, middle and high latitudes of Asia and the adjacent Arctic regions.

Tectonic evolution of a continental collision zone: A thermomechanical numerical model [PDF]
We model evolution of a continent-continent collision and draw some parallels with the tectonic evolution of the Himalaya. We use a large-scale visco-plasto-elastic thermomechanical model that has a free upper surface, accounts for erosion and deposition

Patterns and Drivers of Phylogenetic Beta Diversity in the Forests and Savannas of Africa
ABSTRACT Aim Studying beta diversity, or the variation in species composition among communities, can give insights into plant community assembly over space and time. If different biomes show contrasting large‐scale beta‐diversity patterns, this can indicate divergent evolutionary histories or ecological processes that then drive species turnover among ...

The Japan earthquake of March 11th, 2011 (Mw = 8.9R) as viewed in terms of local lithospheric oscillation due to M1 and K1 tidal components. A brief presentation [PDF]
The time of occurrence of the large EQ that occurred recently in Japan (March 11th, 2011, Mw = 8.9) is compared to the time of peak amplitude occurrence of the M1 and K1 tidal components. It is shown that the specific EQ occurred on the peak of the M1 tidal component, and deviates for only 45 minutes from the corresponding K1 tidal peak. Therefore, the
