The Distribution of Major and Trace Elements Across a Garnet Population From the Kalak Nappe Complex (Finnmark, Scandinavian Caledonides): Evidence for Size‐Dependent Growth and Compositional Equilibration in the Garnet Zone

open access: yesJournal of Metamorphic Geology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A garnet population from the lower Kalak Nappe Complex in Finnmark (Arctic Norway) was characterized using high‐resolution X‐ray micro‐computed tomography, electron probe micro‐analysis and laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry mapping to assess the extent of compositional equilibration and the controlling crystallization

The late Mesozoic-Cenozoic tectonic evolution of the South China Sea: A petrologic perspective [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
This paper presents a review of available petrological, geochonological and geochemical data for late Mesozoic to Recent igneous rocks in the South China Sea (SCS) and adjacent regions and a discussion of their petrogeneses and tectonic implications. The

Evidence for Phosphate Metasomatism in an Olivine‐Rich Achondrites

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Brachinites, brachinite‐like achondrites (BLA), and other similar primitive achondrites offer important constraints on differentiation processes of the earliest formed planetesimals, as they quenched amidst early differentiation processes on their parent body. Geochemical data for all major mineral phases in two previously poorly characterized

Komatiites: From Earth's Geological Settings to Planetary and Astrobiological Contexts [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2005
Komatiites are fascinating volcanic rocks. They are among the most ancient lavas of the Earth following the 3.8 Ga pillow basalts at Isua and they represent some of the oldest ultramafic magmatic rocks preserved in the Earth's crust at 3.5 Ga. This fact, linked to their particular features (high magnesium content, high melting temperatures, low dynamic

Harry Hess and sea-floor spreading [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

Schist Belts of the Benin‐Nigeria Shield Reveal a Neoproterozoic History

open access: yesTerra Nova, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Belts of metasedimentary rocks (schist belts) in the Benin‐Nigeria Shield (BNS) are investigated for the first time using U–Pb dating and Lu‐Hf isotope analysis of detrital zircons. We report maximum depositional ages that place their deposition firmly in the Neoproterozoic and link them with strata in the Dahomey Belt, the central African ...

Hanohano: A Deep Ocean Anti-Neutrino Detector for Unique Neutrino Physics and Geophysics Studies [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2008
The science potential of a 10 kiloton deep-ocean liquid scintillation detector for ~1 MeV energy scale electron anti-neutrinos has been studied. Such an instrument, designed to be portable and function in the deep ocean (3-5 km) can make unique measurements of the anti-neutrinos from radioactive decays in the Earth'.s mantle.
