Sedimentary Mercury Enrichments as a Tracer of Large Igneous Province Volcanism
Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Cooling history of the eastern Svecokarelides: whole-rock and mica Rb-Sr and hornblende K-Ar ages in the areas of Pihtipudas-Iisalmi and Joroinen-Sulkava, Finland [PDF]
Rb-Sr age determination on mica and whole-rock samples and K-Ar age determination on hornblendes were carried out to get information on the time of metamorphism and early cooling in two Proterozic areas of the Finnish Svecokarelides.

Imbrication and Erosional Tectonics Recorded by Garnets in the Sikkim Himalayas
The Sikkim region of the Himalayas (NE India) may form an important microplate between Nepal and Bhutan. Here we report high-resolution pressure-temperature (P-T) paths taken from garnet-bearing rocks across the northern and eastern portion of the region’

Tectono-metamorphic evolution and timing of the melting processes in the Svecofennian Tonalite-Trondhjemite Migmatite Belt: An example from Luopioinen, Tampere area, southern Finland [PDF]
The Svecofennian Orogen is in southern Finland characterized by two major migmatite belts. These are the so-called Granite Migmatite Belt, in which Kfs-rich leucosomes predominate, and the Tonalite-Trondhjemite Migmatite Belt, which is characterized by ...

Structural analysis and metamorphism of Palaeoproterozoic metapelites in the Seinäjoki-Ilmajoki area, western Finland [PDF]
The Palaeoproterozoic Svecofennian bedrock of the Seinäjoki-Ilmajoki area, western Finland, is largely composed of porphyroblastic metapelites. In the area, the regional metamorphic grade increases towards the southwest.
