Mesozoic–Cenozoic Thermochronology of the Tarim–Southern Tianshan System, NW China

Geological Journal, EarlyView.
Tectonothermal history of the Tarim–Southern Tianshan system compared with the major tectonic events at far‐field plate margins. ABSTRACT The Tarim Basin, an oil‐bearing basin in northwest China, is tectonically and sedimentologically linked to the Southern Tianshan Orogenic Belt.

The composition of metapelitic biotite, white mica, and chlorite: a review with implications for solid-solution models [PDF]

European Journal of Mineralogy
Biotite, white mica, and chlorite record petrological processes and pressure–temperature conditions. Unfortunately, their crystal chemistry is complicated and thermodynamic modelling of their phase relations is hindered by this complexity.

Petrogenesis and implications of the Dupangling compound granite in southern Hunan Province, China: Constraints from mineralogical chemistry, zircon U-Pb age, geochemistry and Nd-Hf isotope

Dizhi lixue xuebao, 2022
In this paper, zircon SHRIMP U-Pb geochronology, petrology, mineral chemistry, petrogeochemistry, Sm-Nd and Lu-Hf isotopes were studied for the eastern part of the Dupangling pluton, which is located at the western section of Nanling at the junction of ...

Morphology and distribution of lakes under the Laurentide Ice Sheet: implications for ice flow dynamics

Boreas, EarlyView.
This study examines the distribution and morphology of lakes under the Laurentide Ice Sheet (LIS) to investigate relationships with ice flow velocity, bedrock and basal thermal regime. Palaeo‐ice streams and lobes were important components of the LIS, and properties of lakes in those regions are quantified at high resolution.

Beachrock formation influenced by co‐seismic deformation and relative sea‐level changes during the Holocene near the Gulf of Saros, Türkiye (NE Aegean Sea)

Boreas, EarlyView.
This is the first proof of beachrock found on the nearshore of the Gulf of Saros. Beachrock generation was influenced by tectonic activity, geomorphological processes, and sedimentation. The Late Holocene beachrock deposits were altered by co‐seismic deformation.

Geochemistry and tectonomagmatic setting of protolite rocks of meta-volcanics in the Halab metamorphic complex (SW Dandy, Zanjan Province)

Journal of Economic Geology, 2019
Introduction Three fundamental goals will be followed in the study of metamorphic terrains including: 1- study of fabric in metamorphic rocks in order to recognize the relationship between metamorphism and deformation, 2- the identification of ...

Middle to Late Pleistocene landscape evolution and glacial dynamics in the Eastern Alps: the Gröbminger Mitterberg record, Austria

Boreas, EarlyView.
Glacial erosion during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) has removed much evidence of earlier glaciations and interglacials in the European Alps. At Gröbminger Mitterberg (GM), beneath a blanket of LGM till, a distinctive sediment archive preserves deposits predating the LGM.

Evolving Subduction Zone Thermal Structure Drives Extensive Forearc Mantle Wedge Hydration

AGU Advances
Hydration of the subduction zone forearc mantle wedge influences the downdip distribution of seismicity, the availability of fluids for arc magmatism, and Earth's long term water cycle.

Variations in the P‐T‐t of Deformation in a Crustal‐Scale Shear Zone in Metagranite

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2020
Deformation in crustal‐scale shear zones occurs over a range of pressure‐temperature‐time (P‐T‐t) conditions, both because they may be vertically extensive structures that simultaneously affect material from the lower crust to the surface, and because ...

Debris at the edge: sedimentological dynamics of Hintereisferner's evolving terminus and glacial forefield, Austrian Alps

Boreas, EarlyView.
The interaction between glaciers and the debris accumulating on their surfaces is critical as the Earth warms, with consequences for ice dynamics, hydrology and mass balance together with slope and sedimentary processes. Understanding this interaction is necessary since it influences ablation rates, sediment and meltwater pathways.
