Fluid-absent metamorphism in the Adirondacks [PDF]

Results on late Proterozoic metamorphism of granulite in the Adirondacks are presented. There more than 20,000 sq km of rock are at granulite facies. Low water fugacites are implied by orthopyroxene bearing assemblages and by stability of k'spar-plag ...

Modeling pN2 through Geological Time: Implications for Planetary Climates and Atmospheric Biosignatures [PDF]

, 2016
Nitrogen is a major nutrient for all life on Earth and could plausibly play a similar role in extraterrestrial biospheres. The major reservoir of nitrogen at Earth's surface is atmospheric N2, but recent studies have proposed that the size of this ...

Habitat alteration impacts predation risk in an aposematic amphibian

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
Clay models of fire salamanders in the Vienna Woods suffer more predation attempts in managed forest zones than in protected ones. These differences are mainly due to increased predation by birds in managed areas, which are characterised by higher tree species diversity.

Snow metamorphism: a fractal approach

, 2010
Snow is a porous disordered medium consisting of air and three water phases: ice, vapour and liquid. The ice phase consists of an assemblage of grains, ice matrix, initially arranged over a random load bearing skeleton.

Electron Microprobe Reintegration Method for Clinopyroxene Breakdown with Lamellae Exsolution

Yankuang ceshi
Pyroxene is an important rock-forming mineral in magmatic to metamorphic rocks, which often possesses certain breakdown texture with lamellae exsolution under temperature and pressure changes.

A primitive asteroid that lived fast and died young sampled by a xenolith in the Cold Bokkeveld CM2 carbonaceous chondrite

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 60, Issue 3, Page 464-483, March 2025.
Abstract Xenoliths in carbonaceous chondrites include lithologies that are unrepresented in the meteorite record and so are a rich source of information on asteroid diversity. Cold Bokkeveld is a CM2 regolith breccia that contains both hydrous and anhydrous lithic clasts. Here, we describe a hydrous clast with a fine‐grained rim.

Post-depositional tectonic modifications of VMS deposits in Iberia and its economic significance [PDF]

, 2011
The original stratigraphic relationships and structure of VMS deposits are commonly obscured by deformation. This can also affect their economic significance, as shown by several Iberian Pyrite Belt (IPB, SW Iberia) examples.

Monazite LA-ICP-MS U-Pb Dating to Constrain the Metamorphic Age of the Muzidian Gneiss Complex in the Northern Dabie Orogen

Yankuang ceshi
The Muzidian gneiss complex (MGC) in the Northern Dabie Orogen is the oldest exposed rock formation in the South China block. However, there is still a lack of research on its metamorphic age and tectonic implications.

Mineralogy and metabasites formation conditions from ophiolite association at northern slope of Kuznetsk Alatau

Литосфера, 2017
The ophiolites of the northern slope of the Kuznetsk-Alatau Ridge are the most representative fragments of the sub-oceanic crust in the region. In this article, we present the results of a study of the metabasites from ophiolite paragenesis of the ...

Iron and copper sulfides in asteroid (162173) Ryugu: Formation conditions and a comparison to the CI and CY chondrites

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 60, Issue 3, Page 506-528, March 2025.
Abstract JAXA's Hayabusa2 sample return mission visited the volatile‐rich carbonaceous (C‐type) asteroid (162173) Ryugu with the aim of ground‐truthing remote observations, returning a pristine sample from a C‐type asteroid, and strengthening links between asteroids and the meteorite collection. Here, we have conducted a systematic study of coarse (>10
