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.

On the issue of establishing the type of coal seams by «reduction» («oxidation») of fossil coals
The yield of volatile substances during the thermal decomposition of coals and the oxygen content in the organic mass do not unambiguously characterize both the types of coals according to the expected reduction, and the manifestations of the hazardous ...

Biomineralization is a generic term used to indicate biological‐mediated mineral formation. In carbonate mineralization, nucleation of crystals can be: (1) controlled directly by the organisms, like in the skeletal formation of most metazoans; (2) induced by microbial communities, by indirect precipitation mediated by their metabolic activities; or (3)

U-Pb zircon geochronology of selected Archaean migmatites in eastern Finland [PDF]
U-Pb SIMS data on eight samples (four mesosome-leucosome pairs) from migmatites in gneiss complexes are presented from the western part of the Archaean Karelian craton, eastern Finland. Most zircon grains in the mesosomes yield ages between 2.84 Ga and 2.

Timing of late Palaeoproterozoic metamorphism in the northern Belomorian Belt, White Sea region: Conclusions from U-Pb isotopic data and P-T evidence [PDF]
Brilliant-looking zircon crystals from a garnet-amphibolitic, metamorphosed mafic dyke at Lyagkomina in the Lake Kovdozero area, northern Belomorian Belt, most probably mark the 1875±4 Ma age of peak late Palaeoproterozoic regional metamorphism which ...

From subduction to collision. a combined metamorphic, structural and geochronological study of polymetamorphic metasediments at the NE edge of the Lepontine dome (Swiss Central Alps) [PDF]
This study analyses the tectono-metamorphic evolution of metasedimentary units belonging to the Valaisan and adjacent European domains at the north-eastern border of the Lepontine dome (Central Alps).

Relationship between deformation structure and partial melting in pelitic migmatites of Hamaden region, Sanandaj-Sirjan Zone [PDF]
The present paper describes some field characteristics of deformation in a high-strain and high temperature zone in migmatitic rocks, with several kilometers wide occurring in Hamedan and Toyserkan regions, NW of the Sanandaj- Sirjan Zone.

Different criteria used to classify metamorphism are reviewed, and it is suggested three of these (plate tectonic setting, agents of metamorphism and geological setting) can be used to characterize most of the common types of terrestrial metamorphism ...
