Subparallel thrust and normal faulting in Albania and the roles of gravitational potential energy and rheology contrasts in mountain belts [PDF]

, 2009
The active tectonics of Albania and surrounding regions, on the eastern margin of the Adriatic Sea, is characterized by subparallel thrust and normal faulting which, we suggest, is likely to be related to gravitational potential energy contrasts between ...

UPPER MANTLE CONVECTION RELATED TO SUBDUCTION ZONE AND APPLICATION OF THE MODEL TO INVESTIGATE THE CRETACEOUS-CENOZOIC GEODYNAMICS OF CENTRAL EAST ASIA AND THE ARCTIC

Геодинамика и тектонофизика, 2021
A geodynamic model of upper mantle convection related to the Pacific subduction zone is mathematically substantiated and applied to investigate the Cretaceous-Cenozoic evolution of Central East Asia (CEA) and the Arctic. We present a solution for the two-

Neoarchean Arc Magmatism and Crust Recycling in the Northern Marginal Zone of the Limpopo Complex, Zimbabwe: New Insights From Zircon U‐Pb‐Hf Isotopes of a Charnockite Suite

Geological Journal, EarlyView.
Charnockites with 2691–2607 Ma magmatic ages from the NMZ show arc‐magmatic geochemical signatures. They correspond to the lower‐crustal equivalent of the Chilimanzi Suite Granite in the Zimbabwe Craton. Lu‐Hf isotopic data of magmatic zircons show negative εHf(t) values (−11.18 to −2.20) with TDMC ages of 3699–3158 Ma, suggesting their protolith ...

The performance of different methods in characterizing soil live prokaryotic diversity and abundance is highly variable

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
We systematically compared and assessed the commonly used methods for studying live soil microbes, including alkaline buffer washing, propidium monoazide (PMA) treatment, DNase pre‐digestion, and rRNA‐based analysis, based on soils collected across the western region of China.

A new pattern of the tectonic units and metallogenic belts in Africa continent in terms of lithosphere

China Geology, 2022
Based on the comprehensive study of geology and geophysics in African continent, three types of lithosphere (craton-type, orogenic-type and rift-type) can be identified.

Martian Mantle Heat Flow Estimate From the Lack of Lithospheric Flexure in the South Pole of Mars: Implications for Planetary Evolution and Basal Melting

Geophysical Research Letters, 2021
Heat flow measurements are important for our understanding of planetary interior composition, structure, and evolution. In the absence of direct measurement, a first‐order estimate of a planet's interior heat flow can be made by modeling the lithosphere ...

Thermal erosion of cratonic lithosphere as a potential trigger for mass-extinction

Scientific Reports, 2016
The temporal coincidence between large igneous provinces (LIPs) and mass extinctions has led many to pose a causal relationship between the two. However, there is still no consensus on a mechanistic model that explains how magmatism leads to the turnover

Application of 3D Raman Mapping on Complex Inclusions: A Case Study of the Styrian Basin Mantle Xenoliths (W‐Carpathian Pannonian Region)

Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.
Recent advancements in spectral and spatial resolutions for Raman spectroscopy allow the analysis of fluid and melt inclusions. To explore the applicability of 3D Raman mapping, we conducted 3D Raman mapping on inclusions hosted by orthopyroxene in modally metasomatized mantle xenoliths from the Styrian Basin (W‐Carpathian Pannonian Region).

Evolving force balance during incipient subduction [PDF]

, 2004
Nearly half of all active subduction zones initiated during the Cenozoic. All subduction zones associated with active back arc extension have initiated since the Eocene, hinting that back arc extension may be intimately associated with an interval ...
