Isotopic Disequilibrium Between Migmatites and Protolith: Insights from a Variscan Anatectic Complex (NW of Iberian Variscan Belt, Portugal)

Geosciences
Isotopic disequilibrium during the formation of high-temperature (HT) metamorphic complexes by anatexis during continental collision is a process that deserves intense discussion since it is fundamental to understand the evolution of continental crust ...

Double Power-Law in Leucosome Width Distribution: Implications for Recognizing Melt Movement in Migmatites

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2020
Leucosome sizes in migmatites has been shown to follow power-law distribution, which is indicative of self-organized criticality governing accumulation and transport of partial melts in anatexis.

Extreme extension across Seram and Ambon, eastern Indonesia: evidence for Banda slab rollback [PDF]

Solid Earth, 2013
The island of Seram, which lies in the northern part of the 180°-curved Banda Arc, has previously been interpreted as a fold-and-thrust belt formed during arc-continent collision, which incorporates ophiolites intruded by granites thought to have been ...

Composition and Provenance of Victoria Group Sandstones in Southern North Victoria Land, Antarctica

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 3, September 2026.
Three distinct source areas contributed to sandstones of the Victoria Group within the Transantarctic Basin in southern North Victoria Land. During the Permian, quartzose sandstones were derived from erosion of the local Ross Orogen, likely from an uplifted swell in the area of today's Ross Sea, the Ross High.

Dimension Stone: Exploration and Exploitation in parts of Lokoja, North-Central Nigeria

Journal of Applied Sciences and Environmental Management, 2020
The study area Lokoja is the home to the confluence between Rivers Niger and Benue. Dimension stone is cut or quarried stone in accordance with specific dimensions, generally more abundant and are used in greater quantities than ore minerals in pavement

Ductile Extrusion Triggered by Continental Collision in NE Brazil

Terra Nova, Volume 38, Issue 4, Page 266-277, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The Borborema Province in northeastern Brazil hosts one of the world's largest strike‐slip shear zone networks, active during the late Neoproterozoic assembly of West Gondwana. Whether these shear zones initiated during active continental collision or as a post‐orogenic response to far‐field stresses remains debated.

Deformation partitioning in the mid- to deep sheared crust of the Variscan Fautea-Favone metamorphic complex (southern Corsica, France)

Journal of Maps
The Variscan basement in Corsica (France) is exposed as scattered metamorphic complexes preserved in the late Permian batholith in the south-western sector of the island.

Onshore Wind Energy Development Causes Localized but Lasting Shifts in Plant Community Composition and Function

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
The effects of wind power plants on surrounding vegetation remain poorly understood. Vegetation surveys at three Norwegian wind power plants commissioned 4, 12, and 19 years ago showed that roads caused shifts in plant functional strategies toward species with ruderal strategies.

Sequential Wedge Extrusion to Core Complex Extension: The Central Cycladic Detachment System on Syros, Greece

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Syros island preserves pristine high‐pressure metamorphic rocks and provides invaluable insight into subduction zone processes. Contrasting views on the structural history impede placing the island in a clear tectonic framework, limiting the broader impact of preserved information.

Remelting of Ordovician migmatites and granites during Variscan high-grade metamorphism (Aar Massif, Central Alps, Switzerland) [PDF]

Swiss Journal of Geosciences
The remelting of felsic gneisses, migmatites and granite during a later orogenic cycle can produce rocks of different age with comparable field appearance, microstructure, mineralogical and chemical composition.
