Synthesis of Monazite‐Borosilicate Glass Composites by the Ceramic Method
A glass‐ceramic composite containing crystallites of La0.5Gd0.5PO4 (monazite) dispersed in a borosilicate glass matrix was synthesized using a one‐step ceramic synthesis method. ABSTRACT Glass‐ceramic composites are promising heterogeneous materials for the immobilization of high‐level nuclear waste.

Late Campanian (74–71 Ma) Arabia–Eastern Anatolia Collision and Its Geodynamic Implications
Abstract The East Anatolian Plateau is a major collisional feature within the Tethyan realm formed as a late‐stage result of the collision between East Anatolia and the Arabian Platform. The timing of this collision is highly debated, with estimates from the Late Cretaceous to the Miocene.

Economic evaluation of thorium oxide production from monazite using alkaline fusion method
Monazite is a phosphate mineral that contains thorium (Th) and rare earth elements. The Th concentration in monazite can be as high as 500 ppm, and it has the potential to be used as fuel in the nuclear power system.

Abstract Low‐temperature thermochronology records rock cooling, which results from (generally erosion‐driven) exhumation and/or other processes that alter the geotherm. Apatite (U‐Th)/He (AHe) thermochronology can record landscape changes associated with km‐scale erosion and has previously been used to assess Quaternary glacial incision in large ...

Dynamic Deglacial Evolution of Interior Seaways and Ice Streams in the Weddell Sea Embayment
Abstract Improving our understanding of Antarctic glacial dynamics is essential for accurately predicting ice sheet behavior and its contribution to global sea level rise under future climate scenarios. The Weddell Sea Embayment, which channels ice from East Antarctica, West Antarctica, and the Antarctic Peninsula into the Filchner‐Ronne Ice Shelf, is ...

Variable Sr Diffusion and Implications for Rb–Sr Biotite Geochronology
ABSTRACT The rubidium–strontium (Rb–Sr) system has a long pedigree as a geochronological tool that relies on the application of an isochron approach. In particular, biotite contains strongly radiogenic Rb–Sr isotopes, and thus can yield meaningful crystallisation or cooling ages via this approach. However, the response of the Rb–Sr system in biotite to

We present U-Th/Pb data obtained for xenotime and monazite from the polycyclic eclogite-facies para- and ortho-gneisses of the Les Essarts Unit (Vendée, southern Armorican Massif, France), which have recorded an HT-LP cycle ending with a first ...
