Accretionary Tectonics of the North American Cordillera [PDF]

, 1983
Continental geology stands on the threshold of a change that is likely to be as fundamental as plate-tectonic theory was for marine geology. Ongoing seismic-reflection investigations into the deep crustal structure of North America are verifying that ...

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 ...

Petrology and Geochemistry of the Qozlou Granitoid and Related Fe skarn (west Zanjan)

Journal of Economic Geology, 2020
Introduction Fe skarn deposits are one of the important Fe deposits in the Zanjan province which have been exploited in recent years. The Qozlou Fe deposit is one of these Fe skarn deposits which is located at 65 km west of Zanjan.

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

Journal 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.

Comparison of the Thermometery-Barometery methods by using Thermocalc and Theriak-domino to study Calc- silicate Hornfelses in Cheshin, Hamedan

Journal of Economic Geology, 2019
Introduction The pseudo-section method, first proposed by Hensen (1971), is used today by scientists to determine the thermodynamic conditions of mineral crystallization and modeling in metamorphic lithology (Hoschek, 2004; Omrani et al., 2013).

When do we need pan-global freeze to explain ^(18)O-depleted zircons and rocks? [PDF]

, 2011
Rocks with δ^(18)O values of less than 5‰ SMOW (Standard Mean Ocean Water) contain oxygen derived from ∼0‰ seawater or meteoric (rain or melted snow,

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 ...

Parent body thermal metamorphism of enstatite chondrites: Disentangling the effects of shock melting

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Enstatite chondrites (ECs) formed on at least two parent bodies, EH and EL. After the accretion of the EC parent bodies, EC material was subjected to varying degrees of parent body thermal metamorphism (measured by petrologic types 3–6), due to heat released by radioactive isotope decay.

Seismic reflection and topography insights into Ries crater diameter and megablock zone

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Most of the extensive crater‐wide geophysical studies at the Ries impact structure were made decades ago when the origin of the structure was still being debated. Although it is one of the most studied impact structures, its internal structure was not imaged in high resolution until recently.
