Quantifying Water Diffusivity and Metamorphic Reaction Rates Within Mountain Belts, and Their Implications for the Rheology of Cratons

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021
The distribution of rheologically strong cratons, and their weakening by metamorphic hydration reactions, is of fundamental importance for understanding first‐order strength contrasts within the crust and the resulting controls on the tectonic evolution ...

Linking Tectonics and Cratonic Vertical Motions: Deep‐Time Thermochronology Reveals >1,000 Myr of Low‐Temperature Conditions in Southeastern Finland

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 45, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The Fennoscandian Shield potentially hosts the longest continuous habitable conditions for Earth's deep biosphere. Billion‐year equilibrium freeboard conditions of cratons and the longevity of deep biosphere microbial communities are directly related through the thermal histories of rocks that host these communities.

Dating the Sedimentary Protolith of the Daldyn Group Quartzite, Anabar Shield, Russia: New Detrital Zircon Constraints

open access: yesGeosciences, 2020
Quartzites and paragneisses of the Archean granulite series of the Anabar Shield (Siberian Craton, Russia) are described geochemically. The Sm-Nd isotope systematics of the rocks and the U-Pb age (SHRIMP II) and geochemistry of zircons from quartzites ...

Provenance Constraints on Early India–Asia Collision: Evidence From the Late Cretaceous–Early Cenozoic Sulaiman–Katawaz Basin Fill

open access: yesBasin Research, Volume 38, Issue 5, September‐October 2026.
Integrated detrital zircon U–Pb, Nd–Sr isotopes and thermochronology record western Indian‐margin provenance reorganisation. Late Cretaceous–Palaeocene sediment supply was Indian‐affinity; Asian‐affinity input appeared across the Palaeocene–Eocene transition (~56.5–54.7 Ma), suggesting India–Asia collision was underway, while mixed provenance persisted

Paleoproterozoic geology of the Toumodi area, Ivory Coast, 1:100,000

open access: yes, 2018
Field geological mapping of tropical West Africa is hampered by the variable development of deep regolith and tropical rainforest and this has impeded the progress of geological research.

Red to Green: A Lipid Biomarker Record of Tonian‐Ediacaran Algae in Siberia

open access: yesGeobiology, Volume 24, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT Multiple lines of evidence point to a major diversification of Eukarya in the late Tonian period, ca. 800–720 Ma ago. Regular steranes, lipid biomarkers primarily sourced from eukaryotes, are first unambiguously reported from multiple sites. Here, we present lipid biomarker stratigraphic records from two drill‐cores from the Lena‐Anabar Basin ...

Ocean chemistry in the Paleoproterozoic

open access: yes, 2019
The present-day oxidizing conditions at Earth's surface are due to the high oxygen content of the atmosphere. However, oxygen was not always stable in the terrestrial atmosphere. Two distinct periods during which oxygen increased in a step-like manner were required to reach the current atmospheric oxygen level.
