Interplay Between Mechanical and Petrochemical Models on the Fluid Extraction From Subduction Zones

open access: yesJournal of Metamorphic Geology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The breakdown of hydrous minerals during subduction results in a densification of the rocks, producing volume changes that can trigger fluid pressure fluctuations and hydrofracturing. These volume changes are controlled by the Clapeyron slope of the reaction and are quantified here using a macroscopic framework that integrates a zero ...

An Inverse Method for Quantifying Petrological Parameters and Uncertainty in Phase Equilibrium Modelling

open access: yesJournal of Metamorphic Geology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Phase equilibrium modelling offers a powerful quantitative framework for understanding petrological processes. Yet, many studies still rely on qualitative comparisons between natural datasets and these forward modelled predictions to constrain model parameters, commonly pressure–temperature (P–T) conditions.

Chemical Discrimination of Rutile From Different Metamorphic Source Rocks: Dealing With Hierarchical Data Structures in Random Forest Classification

open access: yesJournal of Metamorphic Geology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rutile provides a wealth of petrochronological information in metamorphic geology and due to its high stability during processes of the sedimentary cycle, rutile takes a special position in sedimentary provenance analysis. Besides being one of the classical minerals datable using the U–Pb system, rutile incorporates a broad range of trace ...

Location, Location, Location: Monazite Behaviour During UHT Metamorphism and Melt Crystallization

open access: yesJournal of Metamorphic Geology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Monazite is a robust mineral for recording the suprasolidus evolution of migmatites and granulites. However, monazite commonly has diverse compositions and yields variable dates in a single sample; understanding the controls on monazite behaviour and composition during partial melting and melt crystallization are not always straightforward ...

New knowledge about shock events that affected the L‐chondrite parent body from two heavily shocked L6 meteorite finds

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract We report new results from a study of shock‐related features in the L6 ordinary chondrites Northwest Africa (NWA) 4672 and NWA 12841. Our observations confirm the occurrence of eight high‐pressure (HP) minerals in each meteorite, namely, ringwoodite, majorite, akimotoite, wadsleyite, albitic jadeite, lingunite, tuite, and xieite.

Noble gases and nitrogen in material from asteroid Bennu

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract We report the elemental and isotopic abundances of all stable noble gases (helium, neon, argon, krypton, and xenon) in eight particles from asteroid Bennu returned by NASA's OSIRIS‐REx mission. We also report nitrogen abundances and isotopic ratios that were analyzed alongside neon and argon in four additional Bennu particles.

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

open access: yesGeochemistry, 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

The effect of pressure on dihedral angle between liquid Fe‐S and orthopyroxene: Implication for percolative core formation in planetesimals and planetary embryos

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract During precursor stages of planet formation, many planetesimals and planetary embryos are considered to have differentiated, forming an iron‐alloy core and silicate mantle. Percolation of liquid iron‐alloy in solid silicates is one of the major possible differentiation processes in these small bodies.
