Seismological structure of the 1.8 Ga Trans-Hudson Orogen of North America [PDF]

, 2016
Precambrian tectonic processes are debated: what was the nature and scale of orogenic events on the younger, hotter, and more ductile Earth? Northern Hudson Bay records the Paleoproterozoic collision between the Western Churchill and Superior plates—the ∼

Teaching Aquitard Concepts With Field‐Based High‐Resolution Head Profile Learning Activities

Groundwater, EarlyView.
Abstract Aquitards play critical roles in a variety of hydrogeologic processes. Despite their importance, coverage of aquitards in introductory hydrogeology textbooks is generally limited. This paper provides examples of classroom and field activities designed with an aquitard focus for instructors wishing to supplement textbook content.

Arctic Tectonics and Volcanism: a multi-scale, multi-disciplinary educational approach [PDF]

Geoscience Communication
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

Cenozoic evolution of the eastern Black Sea: a test of depth-dependent stretching models [PDF]

, 2008
Subsidence analysis of the eastern Black Sea basin suggests that the stratigraphy of this deep, extensional basin can be explained by a predominantly pure-shear stretching history.

Research Direction and Science Evaluation: The Role of Coherence and Alignment

Journal of Economics &Management Strategy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The decisions of funding agencies greatly influence the direction of scientific research; however, our understanding of how applicants' research directions affect the selection process remains limited. In this study, we investigate how a project's coherence with a scientist's previous work and its alignment with current scientific trends ...

Episodic Lithospheric Deformation in Eastern Tibet Inferred From Seismic Anisotropy

Geophysical Research Letters, 2020
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.

Application of palynological data to the chronology of the Palaeogene lava fields of the British Province: implications for magmatic stratigraphy [PDF]

, 1997
New high-precision ages, determined from palynomorph assemblages within intercalated sedimentary deposits, are presented for the Palaeogene lava fields (Skye, Mull and Antrim) of the British Province. These data reveal very rapid averaged eruption rates (

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

Journal 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 ...

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

Journal 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 ...
