Arctic Tectonics and Volcanism: a multi-scale, multi-disciplinary educational approach [PDF]
Geologically, the Arctic is one of the least-explored regions of Earth. Obtaining data in the high Arctic is logistically, economically, and environmentally expensive, but the township of Longyearbyen (population of 2617 as of 2024) at 78° N represents a

The Geology of New Guinea - The Cordilleran Margin of the Australian Continent
The island of New Guinea is the mountainous margin of the Australian continent. Paleozoic and Proterozoic Australian craton extends northward beneath the shallow waters of the Arafura Sea to underlie the southern plains of New Guinea and, with overlying ...

ABSTRACT The youngest known ultrahigh‐pressure (UHP) eclogite from Tumagabuna Island, a small island of the D'Entrecasteaux Islands chain in Papua New Guinea, exhibits zircon U–Pb age variations spanning a few million years. This age variation complicates the interpretation of the evolution of this high and ultrahigh‐pressure ([U]HP) terrane.

Carbon depth cycle and formation of abiogenic hydrocarbons
The relevance. Identification of mechanisms of carbon metamorphic transformation in convergent and divergent regions of the Earth, assessment of the scale of deep transport and the transfer on the generation of abiogenic hydrocarbons in tectonic ...

Episodic Lithospheric Deformation in Eastern Tibet Inferred From Seismic Anisotropy
Mechanisms for uplift and deformation of the Tibetan Plateau remain vigorously debated; hypotheses include stepwise growth, distributed thickening, and crustal channel flow, each with a distinct anisotropic signature.

Abstract Refractory inclusions (RIs) in chondrites are widely used as tracers of early solar system formation conditions. In the context of sample‐return missions, a non‐destructive and non‐invasive analytical tool that can rapidly detect and characterize RIs in space samples during their early phase of study is highly needed.

Recent Advances in Understanding the Geology of Diamonds
It has been more than two decades since diamond ages have proven to be up to billions of years older than their host magmas of kimberlite or lamproite.

Abstract Meteorite collection inventories show that many related meteorite groups have very different numerical abundances (e.g., lunar versus Martian meteorites; Eagle Station pallasites versus main‐group pallasites; eucrites versus diogenites; ungrouped Antarctic irons versus ungrouped non‐Antarctic irons; carbonaceous chondrite‐related (CC) iron ...

Olivine–gabbroic shergottites: A petrogenetic link between poikilitic and gabbroic shergottites
Abstract Shergottites span a textural, mineralogical, and geochemical range, and finding links between the various petrologic and geochemical groups is of great interest as it provides insight into the conditions of the Martian interior. Here, we compare the texture, mineralogy, mineral chemistry, and geochemistry of REE‐enriched intrusive shergottite ...
