Late Cenozoic metamorphic evolution and exhumation of Taiwan [PDF]
The Taiwan mountain belt is composed of a Cenozoic slate belt (Hsuehshan Range units, HR, and Backbone Slates, BS) and of accreted polymetamorphic basement rocks (Tananao Complex, TC).

Abstract Climate change exacerbates natural disasters, demanding rapid damage and risk assessment. However, expert‐reliant analyses delay responses despite drone‐aided data collection. This study develops and compares multimodal AI approaches using advanced large language models (LLMs) for expert‐level landslide image analysis.

Contact Metamorphism in Southern California [PDF]
A highly condensed introduction to "Contact metamorphism in southern California" is obviously not the place in which to indulge in semantic niceties nor to engage in terminological tussles, and thus the title is not intended to reflect a carefully ...

Australian continental‐scale heavy mineral patterns track climate, weathering and erosion
ABSTRACT The heavy mineral cargo of sediment is influenced by a complex and variable overprint of climate and environmental processes acting on weathered crystalline basement sources. Here, a continental‐scale heavy mineral compositional dataset of 1315 surface sediment samples, analysed via automated mineralogy, from across Australia is utilized to ...

Early Cambrian U-Pb zircon age and Hf-isotope data from the Guasayán pluton, Sierras Pampeanas, Argentina: implications for the northwestern boundary of the Pampean arc [PDF]
An Early Cambrian pluton, known as the Guasayán pluton, has been identified in the central area of Sierra de Guasayán, northwestern Argentina. A U?Pb zircon Concordia age of 533 ± 4 Ma was obtained by LA-MC-ICP-MS and represents the first report of ...

The Chamrousse Ophiolite (Western Alps, France): Relict of a Devono‐Carboniferous Ocean
ABSTRACT The Chamrousse ophiolite (Western Alps, France) is one of the best‐preserved Variscan relicts of Cambro‐Ordovician oceanisation within the northern Gondwana margin. This study presents new in situ U–Pb isotope analyses on zircon grains from that ophiolite, revealing that the oceanic stage in Chamrousse has occurred 150 Ma later than estimated.

Progress in the Application of Oxygen Isotopes in the Study of Petrogenesis
Since different types of rocks on the earth have different oxygen isotope compositions, they can be used to discuss the origins of various rocks and it has become a powerful tool for studying petrology.
