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 ...

Long‐Lasting Plutonism During Orogenic Cycles: Incremental Emplacement of the Variscan Bassiès Pluton (Central Pyrenees, France)

open access: yesTerra Nova, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Laser ablation U–Pb single zircon geochronology was applied to four peraluminous granite and granodiorite samples from the Bassiès pluton in the Central Pyrenees (France) yielding a wide range of concordant ages from early Carboniferous (Tournaisian, 351 Ma) to early Permian (Artinskian, 285 Ma).

Kuroko Deposits of NE Japan: The Product of High‐Temperature, Shallow Felsic Volcanism in a Deepening Continental Rift

open access: yesTerra Nova, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Hokuroku district of NE Japan hosts the type locality for Kuroko volcanic‐hosted massive sulphide (VHMS) deposits, which are the product of seafloor hydrothermal venting in a continental rift during the opening of the Sea of Japan in the Miocene.

The Nitrogen Budget of Earth

open access: yes, 2015
We comprehensively compile and review N content in geologic materials to calculate a new N budget for Earth. Using analyses of rocks and minerals in conjunction with N-Ar geochemistry demonstrates that the Bulk Silicate Earth (BSE) contains \sim7\pm4 ...

Geology, Mantle Tomography, and Inclination Corrected Paleogeographic Trajectories Support Westward Subduction During Cretaceous Orogenesis in the North American Cordillera

open access: yesGeoscience Canada, 2014
Geological evidence, including the presence of two passive margin platforms, juxtaposed and mismatched deformation between North America and more outboard terranes, as well as the lack of rift deposits, suggest that North America was the lower plate during both the Sevier and Laramide events and that subduction dipped westward beneath the Cordilleran ...
