Regional study of the Archean to Proterozoic crust at the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO+), Ontario: Predicting the geoneutrino flux

, 2014
The SNO+ detector, a new kiloton scale liquid scintillator detector capable of recording geoneutrino events, will define the strength of the Earth radiogenic heat.

The Seismic Expression of Core Complex‐Style Extensional Detachment Faults in Rifted Margins

Terra Nova, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The identification of core complex‐style extensional detachment faults (CCDFs) in rifted margins is crucial for accurately restoring their stratigraphic and thermal histories. Yet recognising CCDFs in seismic reflection images is challenging due to their faint topographic expression; the lack of associated abrupt offset in seismic reflections;

Uranium Redox and Deposition Transitions Embedded in Deep‐Time Geochemical Models and Mineral Chemistry Networks

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
Uranium (U) is an important global energy resource and a redox sensitive trace element that reflects changing environmental conditions and geochemical cycling. The redox evolution of U mineral chemistry can be interrogated to understand the formation and

Ductile Extrusion Triggered by Continental Collision in NE Brazil

Terra Nova, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Borborema Province in northeastern Brazil hosts one of the world's largest strike‐slip shear zone networks, active during the late Neoproterozoic assembly of West Gondwana. Whether these shear zones initiated during active continental collision or as a post‐orogenic response to far‐field stresses remains debated.

Emergence of Continents Stabilized the Bioavailability of Boron

Terra Nova, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Boron is an essential element for the development of life on Earth; borates stabilize ribose in prebiotic reactions and facilitate metabolism in higher plants. There is, however, a relatively narrow surface boron concentration range over which borates stabilize and serve as a micronutrient rather than a toxin.

Geology, fluid inclusions, mineral and (S-O) isotope chemistry of the Badran orogenic Au deposit, Yana-Kolyma belt, eastern Siberia: implications for ore genesis

Frontiers in Earth Science
The Badran orogenic gold deposit is located in the Yana-Kolyma belt, Eastern Siberia; it has proven reserves of ∼9.3 t of gold and an average grade of 7.8 ppm. The total gold production at the Badran deposit since 1984 amounts to ∼34 t.

Harry Hess and sea-floor spreading [PDF]

, 1999
Harry Hess's hypothesis of sea-floor spreading brought together his long-standing interests in island arcs, oceanic topography, and the oceanic crust. The one unique feature of Hess's hypothesis was the origin of the oceanic crust as a hydration rind on ...
