Widespread abiotic methane in chromitites [PDF]
Recurring discoveries of abiotic methane in gas seeps and springs in ophiolites and peridotite massifs worldwide raised the question of where, in which rocks, methane was generated.

Accretionary Tectonics of the North American Cordillera [PDF]
Continental geology stands on the threshold of a change that is likely to be as fundamental as plate-tectonic theory was for marine geology. Ongoing seismic-reflection investigations into the deep crustal structure of North America are verifying that ...

Subduction polarity reversal during arc‐continent collision has been proposed as a key mechanism to initiate new subduction zones. Despite often interpreted, well‐exposed geological record that document the reversal is sparse.

Evidence from Rb–Sr mineral ages for multiple orogenic events in the Caledonides of Shetland, Scotland [PDF]
Shetland occupies a unique central location within the North Atlantic Caledonides. Thirty-three new high-precision Rb–Sr mineral ages indicate a polyorogenic history.
