OH point defects in quartz – a review [PDF]
Research results of the past 6 decades on the incorporation of OH point defects in quartz are summarised and evaluated in terms of their application to natural samples and processes, and a link between experimental petrology, natural archives, and model ...

Participation in the U.S. Ellsworth Mountains operation of the 1979-1980 austral summer, Antarctica
Field activities in the Ellsworth Mountains in the 1979-1980 austral summer were supported from a temporary U.S. base camp. To study metamorphic petrology, the author mainly surveyed Marble Hills, Liberty Hills, Edison Hills, High Nunatak, and Wilson ...

Production of $^3$He in Rocks by Reactions Induced by Particles of the Nuclear-Active and Muon Components of Cosmic Rays: Geological and Petrological Implications [PDF]
The paper presents data on the production of the $^3$He nuclide in rocks under the effect of cosmic-ray particles. The origin of the nuclide in the ground in neutron- and proton-induced spallation reactions, reactions induced by high-energy muons, and negative muon capture reactions is analyzed.

Tectonics may affect closed watersheds used to monitor climate change and human activity effects
Abstract Playa lakes developed in closed watersheds have been used as environmental impact indicators (global warming, water extractions, etc.), but they could be also sensitive to active tectonics. Our study area is located in the main watershed in the western Betics, the northern branch of the Gibraltar arc, which is within the fold‐and‐thrust belt ...

The Marziyan granites are located in the north of Azna and crop out in the Sanandaj-Sirjan metamorphic belt. These rocks contain minerals such as quartz, K-feldspars, plagioclase, biotite, muscovite, garnet, tourmaline and minor sillimanite.

Broken Beds, but better science; using multiple hypotheses to interpret geological data
Abstract In this study, we propose a multiple hypotheses approach to improve interpretations of limited remotely sensed datasets, such as sparsely exposed outcrops, subsurface datasets, or planetary objects using semi‐quantitative scoring and ranking of observable features.

Potassium Isotope Compositions of Carbonaceous and Ordinary Chondrites: Implications on the Origin of Volatile Depletion in the Early Solar System [PDF]
Solar system materials are variably depleted in moderately volatile elements (MVEs) relative to the proto-solar composition. To address the origin of this MVE depletion, we conducted a systematic study of high-precision K isotopic composition on 16 carbonaceous chondrites (CCs) of types CM1-2, CO3, CV3, CR2, CK4-5 and CH3 and 28 ordinary chondrites ...
