In situ mineralisation of UK onshore igneous rocks offers significant CO2 storage potential

Earth Science, Systems and Society
Safe and permanent storage of CO2 will be required to limit global warming to 1.5–2°C above pre-industrial levels. In situ mineralisation of CO2 within igneous rock formations is a rapid and secure method of geological CO2 storage.

Tracing the styles of mafic-felsic magma interaction: A case study from the Ahvenisto igneous complex, Finland [PDF]

Bulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 2019
The 1.64 Ga Ahvenisto complex, southeastern Finland, is an anorthosite mangerite-charnokite-granite (AMCG) suite in which diverse interaction styles of coeval mafic and felsic magmas are observed.

Low–pressure metamorphism of mafic granulites in the Chinese Altay orogen, NW China: P–T path, U–Pb ages and tectonic implications

Solid Earth Sciences, 2020
Mafic granulites occur as massive lenses within host paragneisses at Wuqiagou area in the southern Chinese Altay orogen. They comprise a suite of fine–grained and coarse–grained mafic granulites, both characterized by an assemblage of orthopyroxene ...

The structure and petrology of the Cnoc nan Cuilean Intrusion, Loch Loyal Syenite Complex, NW Scotland [PDF]

, 2013
In NW Scotland, several alkaline intrusive complexes of Silurian age intrude the Caledonian orogenic front. The most northerly is the Loch Loyal Syenite Complex, which is divided into three separate intrusions (Ben Loyal, Beinn Stumanadh and Cnoc nan ...

A precise late Permian 40Ar/39Ar age for Central Iberian camptonitic lamprohyres

Geologica Acta, 2006
The Avila batholith of central Spain is composed, predominantly, of crustal-melt peraluminous granites cut by small-scale mafic alkaline bodies. Dating of the Gredos sector mafic camptonitic lamprophyre dykes was undertaken to constrain the Late Variscan

Geochemistry and geochronology of the Palaeozoic mafic magmatism in the Codosera, Almadén and Guadalmez synclines, Central Iberian Zone, Spain

BSGF - Earth Sciences Bulletin
The Central Iberian Zone (CIZ) hosts several mafic suites showing variable geochemical affinities and signatures evolving through time. To provide a better understanding of magmatic processes, possible sources and the temporal evolution of the mafic ...

Record of short-lived “orogen” on Eurasian continental margin by South China Sea obduction preserved in Taiwan collision

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023
The Taiwan mountain belt is the result of an arc-continent collision following the total subduction of the South China Sea and subsequent closure of the Luzon forearc, a process important in the accretionary growth of continents.

Shoshonitic enclaves in the high Sr/Y Nyemo pluton, southern Tibet: Implications for Oligocene magma mixing and the onset of extension of the southern Lhasa terrane [PDF]

, 2020
Post-collisional potassic and high Sr/Y magmatism in the Lhasa terrane provides critical constraints on the timing and mechanism of subduction of Indian lithosphere and its role in the uplift of the Tibetan Plateau.

Opposing shear senses in a subdetachment mylonite zone: Implications for core complex mechanics [PDF]

, 2010
[1] Global studies of metamorphic core complexes and low‐angle detachment faults have highlighted a fundamental problem: Since detachments excise crustal section, the relationship between the mylonitic rocks in their footwalls and the brittle deformation

Geological and geotechnical challenges on the Great Dyke of Zimbabwe and their impact on hardrock pillar design

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The Great Dyke of Zimbabwe is notable for its rich platinum group metal deposits but poses significant geological and geotechnical challenges due to its complex rock types and structural features. Traditional pillar design methods are insufficient for addressing these complexities; the study suggests incorporating advanced techniques such as machine ...
